Celulose Irani conquered, at the beginning of this month, the ADVB/SC 2008 Citizen Company, in the Environmental Preservation category for the greenhouse gases emissions inventory case and carbon sinks in a pulp factory and paper mill.
IRANI´s winning case became a pioneer in Brazil with the certification of the Greenhouse Gas Inventory – in accordance with the ISO 14.064, 2006 international norm. The Inventory received certification in 2006 and 2007 with methodologies and quantifications that included the mapping sources of greenhouse gases emitted and removed by the Company´s units. The analyses show that IRANI is Carbon Neutral, because its removes more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere than it emits.
The Association of Sales and Marketing Leaders in Santa Catarina (ADVB) promote the award, and the Citizen Company Prize recognizes successful social-environmental initiatives, in the areas of Environmental Preservation, Community Participation and Cultural Development performed by companies, associations and foundations from the public and private initiatives in Santa Catarina.
Last year, IRANI received the prize in the following categories: Community Participation with the Celulose Irani Cultural Center case: Areas of Environmental Preservation, with the modernization of the Effluent Treatment Station; and Cultural Development with the Vila Campina da Alegria-SC revitalization project.
This recognition makes public IRANI´s concern, by confirming its commitment to sustainability throughout all of its production chain.
