Being an agent of prosperity for people implies to positively interfere in the universe of stakeholders with whom Irani relates: for its clients, by assisting them with packaging solutions that help their businesses; for its employees, promoting their evolution; with society, in developing the communities in which it operates.

Sustainability for us is a management model that balances economic, social and environmental development.

The balance and synergy between these pillars produce enduring and estimable results. The commitment to sustainability is present in our whole business chain: it derives from the forests and is nurtured by the nearby communities, fostering the pursuit of a socially just life.

Annually, we disclose material information about our environmental, social and governance practices. Click here to see our 2023 Integrated Report (ESG).

Value Relationships

We pay special attention to those whom we have relationships with.

These include shareholders, customers, employees, the neighboring communities, suppliers, the government and the general public.

Our relationships are based on values such as ethics, integrity, transparency, politeness, simplicity, diversity and inclusion. We appreciate people and sustainability.


Stakeholders

Over the years, we have sought to build strong partnerships, establish communication channels and build relationships of mutual trust in order to recognize their needs.

Our stakeholders understand who our relationship audiences are and who can be impacted directly or indirectly by our operations. These impacts, positive or negative, are mapped by the Company and monitored throughout the year, reinforcing our value relationships.




Management for Sustainability

The Sustainability area disseminates and reinforces the concept of sustainability among employees and stakeholders, promoting daily and innovative attitudes towards building a company committed to sustainability, seeking high standards of governance based on transparency and ethics in the face of a diverse set of relations with many different audiences.

Nearby Communities

Communities near the manufacturing units are the focus of Irani’s social investments.

The municipalities where Irani’s employees reside and those where our industrial units or offices are located are considered to be nearby communities impacted by the Company’s activities, whether beneficially or adversely.
To assist in the development of these locales, Irani invests in socio-environmental projects, purchases their products and hires local services.

One of the main sustainable paper and packaging industries in Brazil, Irani becomes a Signatory of the Women’s Empowerment Principles (WEPs) of the United Nations (UN).
