Lack of water on production lines.UnknownUnknownHighOther: Projects have been developing to have a broader understanding of water exposureR$ 127,852 (Brazilian reais) approximately Considering both projects.Direct Water Footprint of MDF Study was developed in 2015. This pioneering Project at Duratex sought to measure the impact of MDF panel manufacturing processes on water resources using the methodology of the Water Footprint Network. This initiative resulted in a higher level of knowledge regarding the use of this natural capital input at Duratex, contributing to water management in the company’s MDF production processes at the Agudos, Botucatu and Uberaba industrial unitsDuratex continued its Economic Sensitivity Analysis in 2015, aimed at assessing how the five environmental aspects (water, energy, emissions, effluents and waste) can impact the company’s operations and its Market value in situations where there are higher prices or a scarcity of resources, for example. The initiative began as a pilot project for the energy aspect in 2014; in 2015 it was focused on analysis of the water aspect. One of the main benefits of this project is the convergence between environmental and financial management at Duratex, allowing for creation and assessment of complex risk scenarios for use by the company’s internal management.

System for the active prevention and combating of outbreaks of fire: Unable to estimate - depend on location and facility.Duratex maintains a system for the active prevention and combating of outbreaks of fire in order to protect its tree plantations, conservation areas, machinery and facilities. The experience gained through these fire control measures is applied to neighboring communities, and in assisting local authorities when asked to do so, thus contributing to creating a culture of fire prevention. Duratex also has a program for the genetic improvement of its eucalyptus trees, which focuses on a search for genetic materials which, in addition to improving productivity in terms of wood per cultivated hectare, are more resistant to pests, diseases and climate variations such as drought and frost. In 2014 a program was begun for the specific genetic improvement of the species Eucalyptus longirostrata, with a view to adding greater density to the wood. Duratex continued its Economic Sensitivity Analysis in 2015, aimed at assessing how the five environmental aspects (water, energy, emissions, effluents and waste) can impact the company’s operations and its Market value in situations where there are higher prices or a scarcity of resources, for example.

Description

CDP's water program motivates companies to disclose and reduce their environmental impacts by using the power of investors and customers. The data CDP collects help influential decision makers to reduce risk, capitalize on opportunities and drive action towards a more sustainable world. This dataset comes from question W3.2c asking companies to list the inherent water risks that could generate a substantive change in their business, operations, revenue or expenditure, the potential impact to their direct operations and the strategies to mitigate them.
