SOCIO-ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
CMPC submits its projects for evaluation as appropriate to environmental management instruments established by local institutions and legislation. This is to comply with current regulations on assessing, reporting, and mitigating socio-environmental impacts that a project or activity may generate.
Once the projects are approved and are in the operation phase, and the industrial plants are in operation, the company is responsible for rigorously complying with the different regulations and legal obligations, commitments, and certifications assumed, preventing and managing environmental aspects, impacts, and risks, and generating capacities that ensure operational excellence and continuity. The following table shows the environmental fines incurred in the last four years.

** In 2024, two environmental fines were issued to CMPC Celulosa at the Santa Fe plant. Following an appeal, both fines were reduced and subsequently paid on May 16, 2025.
In 2025, CMPC strengthened its socio-environmental governance framework through enhanced environmental compliance management, continued monitoring of legal obligations, and updates to its SAP EHS system. The company reported no significant environmental fines during the year and demonstrated active enforcement of ethical standards by investigating corruption incidents, dismissing implicated employees, and terminating relationships with non-compliant suppliers. These actions reinforce CMPC's focus on environmental stewardship, regulatory compliance, transparency, and responsible business conduct.
