Sustainability
CMPC´s work is deeply connected to its surroundings; the communities, territories and ecosystems they are made of. By generating value for our stakeholders, we envision the way to build our own value and grow sustainably over time. We work directly with natural resources such as soils, water and forests, understanding that our operations have both positive and negative impacts. Accordingly, we strive to identify continuous science-based opportunities for improvement.
Toward this end, we have committed ourselves to concrete environmental and social goals for sustainable development, taking 2018 and 2019 as their respective baselines. These will guide all of our actions forward to 2025 and 2030.

Furthermore, the committee can revise and recommend best practices which allow to strengthen the long-term commitment of CMPC with sustainable development.
Strategic Approach
According to the CMPC Mission, Values and Corporate Purpose, sustainability is a strategic part of each business unit, its corresponding subsidiaries, as well as all operations and geographic area of influence and stakeholders. This strategic focus is based on three fundamental pillars: the risks to which the company and the part it plays in the community is exposed; material issues , related to the positive and negative impact along our entire value chain; and our contribution towards global initiatives such as the Sustainable Development Goals to which we subscribe.
Value Creation Model
Focusing on key processes, activities, products and by-products of each business unit, and paying close attention to internal circular flows, we have developed our Value Creation Model based on the Corporate Purpose, and through which, we face our Sustainable Development Corporate Goals.

Environment
In the vast territory where we operate and make an impact through our forests and forestry plantations, production plants, and various activities associated with our businesses, efforts are focused on minimizing environmental impacts. The above is done through conservation and restoration initiatives, efficient use of natural resources, and the implementation of circular economy principles, as well as strict compliance with certifications, corporate policies, and environmental regulations.
