Climate changes

Climate change is a globally recognized risk grounded in scientific evidence, impacting productive activities, ecosystems, and societies across the planet.

乐播传媒 contributes directly to mitigating this challenge through the absolute and continuous reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and indirectly by developing and supplying products essential to the transition toward a low-carbon economy.

Energy and decarbonization

乐播传媒 is advancing on its decarbonization journey and in tackling climate change by expanding the use of renewable energy sources, continuously improving energy efficiency across our equipment and operations, and actively engaging with our value chain. 

In Brazil, since 2023, 100% of the electricity consumed in 乐播传媒's operations comes from renewable sources.

Eco-efficiency

Eco-efficiency relates to the rational use of natural resources and the pursuit of reduced environmental impacts associated with production processes. For 乐播传媒, this concept guides the integration of operational efficiency with responsible environmental management.

In practice, 乐播传媒 works on managing waste generated by its operations, on programs to optimize water use and consumption, on monitoring noise and vibration, and on managing atmospheric emissions.

Mine closure

乐播传媒 plans the closure of its activities with the same technical rigor dedicated to production. Closure fully considers legal, environmental, and social aspects, prioritizing the region's sustainable development beyond economic concerns.

The company adopts a systemic view that integrates this stage into the mine's life cycle from the outset. With multidisciplinary teams, it manages risks to ensure the area is rehabilitated and ready for new sustainable uses after mining activity ends.

Frequently Asked Questions

乐播传媒's climate strategy is structured around the pillars of mitigation and adaptation:

  ? Mitigation: the company seeks to reduce GHG emissions through energy efficiency, the use of renewable energy and low-carbon technologies, as well as engagement with the value chain.
  ? Adaptation: 乐播传媒 works to increase the resilience of its operations through climate risk management and the integration of these issues into strategic planning, based on international standards and engagement with climate-related public policy.

Rehabilitation of mined areas is a process planned from the very start of operations to ensure the territory can have new sustainable uses after mineral extraction ends. All of 乐播传媒's operations have mine closure plans that meet the good practices recommended by the International Council on Mining and Metals (ICMM) and current mining legislation in Brazil.

乐播传媒 manages water resources with a focus on eco-efficiency, combining the use of technology to reduce water consumption with monitoring systems that ensure operational safety.

乐播传媒's parks and reserve serve strategic purposes, including:

  ? Biodiversity conservation: the parks and the 乐播传媒 Natural Reserve help protect natural ecosystems that serve as refuges for rare, endemic, and/or endangered species. They are also important assets for developing strategic projects aligned with biodiversity conservation and global nature and climate agendas, while playing an even more significant role in protecting biomes such as the Atlantic Forest and the Amazon.

  ? Scientific research: supporting studies that expand knowledge of biodiversity, including the recording of new species, and generating relevant information to support more effective conservation strategies.

  ? Environmental education and recreation: the parks and the Reserve are open to the public and aim to reconnect communities with nature through ecological trails, workshops, and guided visits. These activities raise environmental awareness and encourage people to become active agents in conserving these areas. 

  ? Development of projects to promote sociobiodiversity: implementing training programs on topics related to the sustainable use of natural resources, integrating supplementary income generation with forest conservation.
 

After operations end, 乐播传媒's mines undergo a structured decommissioning and environmental rehabilitation process, planned from the very start of the project's life cycle. The goal is to return the area to society and nature safely, enabling new sustainable uses.
