    Overall Environment

    21. Briefly describe practical actions the company has taken during the reporting period and/or plans to take to implement the environment principles, including any challenges faced and actions taken towards prevention and/or remediation.

    Ambipar has defined its strategic objective to lead the transition to a circular and low-carbon economy. In order to start this path, we set a commitment to neutralize our GHG emissions. In 2021 we improved our GHG inventory, improving the measurement in our facilities. We also act to reduce our emissions by installing solar panels in our units and substituting fossil fuels in our cars. In 2022 we are investigating technologies that may help us to reduce emissions in our waste management operations. In water, we installed a rainwater usage system in our main complex and intent to install others in other units. A big share of our business concerns waste management. We recovered approximately 90% of our clients' waste and continue to invest in new alternatives and technologies to improve this rate in 2022.
