Describe the process(es) your organization has in place to ensure that your engagement activities are consistent with your overall climate change strategy[…]To achieve new commitments in our Sustainability Vision, we have mobilized the entire company in a comprehensive strategy that will be performed in different stages. In addition to internal efforts implemented, we are signatories of several recognized national and international initiatives, which have challenging targets on climate change to meet our long-term ambitions and keep us protagonist in the action to reduce climate change. In 2014, we defined a sustainable relationship strategy to identify national and international movements towards sustainability,helping to establish external engagements. Dialogues with stakeholders to develop our sustainability strategy have been conducted with different audiences in the company's projects and initiatives (e.g. since 2017 we conduct the New Economy Dialogues). The Climate Commitment Platform, launched by Natura in partnership with Itaú Unibanco and Instituto Ekos Brasil in 2017 was created due to Natura's receiving a higher volume of applications for funds than the demand from its Carbon Neutral Programme. It continues to attract new companies to the coalition that connects these businesses with socioenvironmental initiatives that generate carbon credits - in 2021 more companies joined the coalition, thus reaching eight participating companies of different sizes and sectors in 2022 (membership companies are: Lojas Renner, Raia Drogasil, Mattos Filho, MRV, iFood and Localiza). The platform offers projects that have been subject to rigorous selection criteria and that offer other benefits besides carbon emission offsetting. Currently we have over 15 projects approved during the five years of the programme, all available to the companies participating on the platform. In addition to promoting offsetting, the programme alerts the companies to the importance of adopting a thorough approach, which includes mapping all sources of emissions, prioritising reduction measures and lastly, offsetting emissions that cannot be avoided. Mobilising the private sector and encouraging an integrated approach to carbon management is one of the programme pillars. The platform's strategic planning was reviewed in 2021, ledding to the establishment of the main goals up to 2025, which include support for compensation protocols better suited to Latin America. Goals for coming years include increasing the number of companies on the platform, the volume of credits available and creation of strategic partnerships.
