Environment

We believe that Environmental Education is the main instrument to process the necessary changes in people’s behavior and attitudes. Training, lectures and playful actions are part of our scope of work.

We invest in programs that include reverse logistics actions for post-consumer packaging, primarily in associations and cooperatives of waste pickers, contributing to the fulfillment of the recovery goals of recyclable materials of the National Solid Waste Policy and contributing to the expansion of recycling rates in the country.

Solid waste management ranges from the practice of selective collection, adequate storage and final disposal to qualified waste receivers. Our commitment is to reduce waste generation by applying the 5 R’s concept and reducing final disposal in Landfill.

Energy efficiency brings both operational gains and reduced impacts on the environment and climate. For this, Santa Helena has an Engineering team that develops improvements to reduce consumption and studies new technologies for renewable energies.

In compliance with Decree No. 52.762, February 28, 2008, forest compensation of firewood used for power generation is carried out.

Water collection is carried out through a semi artesian well and water quality analyzes are carried out periodically in the unit, which ensures safety for consumption and use in the operation.

The treatment and disposal of effluents generated by the manufacturing operation takes place in accordance with regulatory regulations and has frequent monitoring.
