• Planning for sustainable timber production based on the consumption of the production facilities and the monitoring of forest development;
• Genetic improvement program that selects the material to be produced that will effectively meet Eucatex’s industrial needs in terms of both quantity and quality;
• Producing eucalyptus seedlings to meet the annual forest development program;
• Defining management units for the planting of eucalyptus and for maintaining natural reserve areas based on soil, weather and topographic conditions;
• Monitoring and controlling pests and diseases with a focus on the rational use of pesticides;
• Monitoring the nutritional needs of the forests to optimize resources and adequately apply nutrients (supply and replacement);
• Conserving the properties, maintaining the headquarters, roads and clearings, conserving the soil, and preventing and controlling wildfires; and
• Adopting timber harvest and transport practices that ensure the sustainable supply of Eucatex’s production facilities.
