Biorigin strengthens its commitment to sustainability by joining the Program and has already conquered the gold seal for its first GHG emissions inventory
Biorigin (Açucareira Quatá SA / Zilor) received the Gold Seal of the Brazilian GHG Protocol Program for having disclosed an inventory of Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions audited by third a party, in compliance with ISO 14064-3:2007 (SGS).
The GHG Protocol is a tool used to understand, quantify, and manage GHG (greenhouse gases) emissions.

The results of the 2016 GHG emissions inventory of Quatá Açucareira (Biorigin / Zilor) was presented on August 10, at the Annual Event of the GHG Protocol Program held in the auditorium of FGV EAESP in São Paulo. The results are available online at the online platform of Registro Público de Emissões.
