For the fifth consecutive year, the Brazilian Environmental Benchmarking Program recognized Celulose Irani. In 2011, the winning case study was the Recovery project of the Riacho da Anta Permanent Preservation Area.
The project is carried out with the initiative of restoring the fragmentation of the native vegetation remnants of the Ribeirão da Anta, located near the Vargem Bonita-SC industrial park. The project is replacing the vegetation coverage of the riverside to form ecological corridors.
The presentation of the award to IRANI took place during the Benchmarking Day at the 4th International Fair and Congress (FIBoPS) considered to be the largest exchange of pro-sustainability in the country. At the time, the company also presented the winning case to the participating public.
According to MAIS PROJETOS, the management and social and environmental training company that organized the event, the 2011 Benchmarking companies were those that through the excellence of their sustainability practices innovated the preservation of the natural and social environment, besides increasing the competitiveness of the organization.
The benchmarking program is an independent initiative that is in its ninth edition. During this period, it has built the largest free access database of sustainability case studies in the country.
These cases studies supply the technical training grids for events and guides for the publications aimed at sustainability management. With its own methodology and international recognition, the Benchmarking Program has selected more than 220 sustainability cases studies in more than the 130 ranked companies.
