Presentation

This report is part of our commitment towards transparency

inpEV presents its sustainability report, a document that annually demonstrates the institute's performance and results in managing the Campo Limpo [Clean Field] System. The process of sharing its results with the public has been consolidated with the organization since 2005 and is part of its commitment towards transparency and dialog with all stakeholders it relates to: manufacturers, distributors, farmers, public power, recyclers, incinerators, collaborators, the press, opinion formers, students and society as a whole.

Last year, the institute's commitment to consolidate transparent and ethical management granted inpEV, for the second time, the award for the best publication in the category of non-Commercial Organizations of the Brazilian Association of Open Capital Companies (Abrasca). Our commitment towards transparency is coupled with our effort to share relevant knowledge and experiences, thus fulfilling our role to educate and develop awareness, considered as one of the pillars of the Campo Limpo System.

The main accomplishments of the work carried out in 2016 can be found in the following pages, which also highlight the 15-year trajectory of our organization. The investments to increase efficiency, the expansion of services when starting to receive out of date products (improper), and the consolidation of the itinerant collection receiving units, which facilitates access of small rural producers willing to return empty crop protection packages in regions far from the fixed units are worth highlighting.

This report abides by the guidelines of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), version G4 Essential, the most widely used methodology in the world for sustainability reporting. GRI G4-32
