Meeting stakeholder demands and operating with a focus on sustainability are commitments upheld by Grupo GPS. To fulfill them, the daily actions of our Employees have been guided by sustainable practices across all areas of the business.

CLIMATE CHANGE

GHG INVENTORY (PB GHG PROTOCOL)(PB GHG PROTOCOL) The Brazilian GHG Protocol Program is responsible for developing calculation tools to estimate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, promoting an organizational culture of emissions accounting in the Brazilian context. The Grupo GPS is a member of PB GHG and reports annually to the Public Emissions Registry. For the second year in a row, we earned the Selo Ouro, reinforcing our commitment to tackling climate change.

CDP (CARBON DISCLOUSURE PROJETC) CDP is a UK-based organization that helps companies, investors, and governments report on the environmental impact of cities and corporations. The goal is to make environmental reporting and risk management a business standard, in order to guide disclosure, awareness, and decision-making consistent with a sustainable economy. The Grupo GPS has been reporting its climate change data since 2017.

TARGETS AND COMMITMENTS Through the accounting of emissions and measurement of climate risks, the Company’s Sustainability Committee formalizes its commitment to reduce emissions by implementing energy transition initiatives and aiming to achieve a low-carbon economy. Each year, the Committee updates its ESG targets, among which the 7th and 8th targets are dedicated to fuel swaps and expanding the use of renewable sources in the Company’s energy matrix.

LINE OF CONCENTRATED AND BIODEGRADABLE PRODUCTS

We use different categories of chemicals, selected according to the characteristics and needs of each operation. Our portfolio includes concentrated products, which require controlled dilution, and ready-to-use products.

Whenever technically and operationally feasible, we prioritize concentrated and biodegradable solutions, considering performance, safety, productivity, surface compatibility, and reduction of environmental impacts.

Choosing, diluting, and applying the products correctly helps ensure cleaning efficiency, rational use of resources, and the safety of professionals, users, and the environment.

SELECTIVE COLLECTION

The Grupo GPS raises awareness among its employees and encourages them to dispose of waste responsibly. By implementing a selective waste collection system, we reduce the amount of waste sent to landfills and lower the environmental impact of our operations. Each year, we receive a certificate of final disposal and a recycling report covering that period.
