海角社区 in Bahia
Founded in 1992, our site in Bahia is located in Mucuri, in the extreme south of the state. The plant marked the beginning of our operations in the Brazilian Northeast and is one of the world's most complete industrial plants in the sector.
More than 7,500 people, including 海角社区 employees and contractors, work together in our Mucuri site, supporting the development of neighboring communities.
Environmental Care in Bahia
Conservation and Preservation
In Bahia, we conserve approximately 151,000 hectares of preserved areas and are responsible for maintaining High Conservation Value Areas (HCVA), such as Alcoprado (Teixeira de Freitas); Itanhentinga River Complex (Alcoba莽a); and Aparaju Complex, Mu莽unungas de Juerana and Peru铆pe (Caravelas); in addition to the plant's HCVA, located in Mucuri.
Ecological Corridors
To enhance the preservation of biodiversity, by 2030 we will connect 500,000 hectares of vegetation through ecological corridors, joining together isolated fragments of native forests in the three biomes where we operate (Amazon, Atlantic Forest and Cerrado).
And Bahia will not be left out. In the state, the corridor will be approximately 370 km long, running through the well-known Central Corridor of the Atlantic Forest, which has high biodiversity and is under severe threat.
Monitoring Biodiversity
Since the 1990s, we have monitored biodiversity in the regions where we operate. In Bahia and Minas Gerais, this work has already resulted in the identification of more than 1,700 species of fauna and flora, of which 151 are threatened with extinction and 110 are endemic.
