Message from 

the President 

In a great achievement, the formula that leads to it is as important, or more important, than 

the result. A victory is the result of a strategy based on multiple factors, including planning, 

persistence and talent. However, the greatest achievements are not those achieved at any price, 

because there is no glory when you act dishonestly or without measuring the consequences. This 

applies to human relationships and the environment in which we live. If we want our actions to 

serve as inspiration, we have to show that it is possible to win or make dreams come true based 

on acceptable and sustainable conduct. For this reason, indeed, we created the ESG area of the 

cooperative. The assistance is aligned with the strategic orientation and our purpose. This is how 

C.Vale is generating prosperity: with ethics in its relationships and with the rational use of 

natural resources.

Communities 

The economic and social effects of C.Vale’s activities are significant. In 2022, the 

cooperative collected R$ 524 million in taxes for states and municipalities. In the case 

of poultry, ICMS is divided according to the percentage of chicken production in each 

municipality involved in the integration system. The cooperative also assists entities 

that provide social assistance because it understands that economic advances must 

go hand in hand with improving people’s living conditions, especially those with 

greater vulnerability.

Safety at work 

Preventing accidents at work is a constant 

concern at C.Vale. The cooperative 

has strict standards of safety at work, 

investing a large amount of resources in 

training, practical exercises on firefighting 

and personal protection equipment. An 

internal commission, with more than 200 

professionals, suggests adaptations and 

changes that make the work environment 

safer and more comfortable.

Environmental 

Sustainability is a concept that must guide the actions of all companies. The 

C.Vale Environmental program is an action of the cooperative that encompasses 

members and employees in a set of initiatives to ensure the balance between 

economic, social and environmental actions. In the last decade, tens of millions 

have been invested in the cooperative’s environmental area. 



37

Riparian forests 

The need for the rational use of natural resources led C.Vale to provide seedlings and 

technical assistance for members to foster the recovery of riparian forests and the 

conservation of springs. At the same time, an area of 1,500 hectares of reforestation 

supplies firewood to supply the industries’ boilers and dryers in the cooperative’s 

grain reception units. Chicken producers also use firewood from reforestation to 

heat the aviaries.

No-Tillage Sytem 

In the cultivation of grains, the no-tillage system is used in all crops. This technique reduces the risk 

of erosion and silting up of rivers, in addition to providing organic matter for crops.

Water 

The Rational Water Use Program (PURA – from the Portuguese, Programa de Utilização Racional 

da Água) is an initiative aimed at promoting the maximum use of water from activities at C.Vale’s 

chicken and fish slaughterhouses, thermoprocessing industries and cassava processing. It 

also involves the treatment of effluents to ensure the return of water to nature in accordance 

with the standards required by environmental legislation. Members are encouraged to recover 

and conserve springs to guarantee good quality water for future generations. In Paraná, the 

cooperative is part of an action that protects more than 2,500 springs.

3R’s 

To avoid waste and control waste generation, C.Vale uses the 3R’s program (Reduce, Reuse 

and Recycle). A recycling center in the chicken slaughterhouse allows the separation of 

plastic and cardboard of the entire agro-industrial complex. With these precautions, less 

than 1.4% of discarded raw materials are sent to landfills or specialized treatment. The 

cooperative also maintains a program for the collection and proper disposal of animal 

health product residues. The initiative involves chicken, fish and swine producers.

Air Quality 

To ensure air quality and people’s health, C.Vale monitors the emission of atmospheric 

gases. The cooperative takes advantage of the methane gas (CH4) generated by the 

effluents from the starch modifiers factories and Piglet Production Unit to generate 

clean energy and minimize the greenhouse effect. In the case of the two cassava 

processing industries, in Assis Chateaubriand and Terra Roxa, both in Paraná (PR), the 

measure reduces the costs of industries with firewood by approximately 75%, that is, 

it avoids the consumption of more than 50,000 trees /year.

Energy Saving 

C.Vale has systems for saving and using clean energy. Units of inputs and grains 

and industry consume energy from renewable sources: wind, solar, biomass, 

solid waste and small hydroelectric plants. The supermarket and hypermarket 

chain has facilities capable of reducing electricity consumption by up to 70%.
