Dear Employees, Partners, and Stakeholders,
To strengthen our commitment to sustainability and comply with legal and international requirements, we hereby inform you that, starting April 2, 2025, all service providers for B4 will be required to submit a Carbon Inventory of their operations.
1. Adoption of Sustainable Standards: Commitment to Global Sustainability
This measure aims to comply with Law No. 15,042 of 2024, which regulates the carbon credit market in Brazil, aligning us with global requirements and reinforcing our commitment to reducing our carbon footprint. Additionally, it reflects our adherence to the United Nations Global Compact and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), with a specific focus on mitigating climate change.
2. Compliance with International Audit and Regulatory Standards
This requirement strengthens our compliance policy with international audit and regulatory standards, ensuring that all our operations and those of our partners meet the highest levels of transparency and environmental responsibility.
3. Importance of the Carbon Inventory
The Carbon Inventory, mandatory for all service providers, must reflect the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions resulting from their activities. This document will be essential for monitoring, controlling, and reducing carbon emissions, aligning suppliers’ actions with our sustainability goals. (Law No. 15,042 of December 11, 2024, which establishes the Brazilian Greenhouse Gas Emissions Trading System (SBCE), was published on Thursday, December 12.)
4. Implications and Benefits for Partners
Partners who fail to submit the Carbon Inventory within the established deadline will no longer be able to provide services to B4 as of April 2, 2025. This measure ensures that all stakeholders in our operations share the commitment to reducing environmental impact and adhere to the best global governance and sustainability practices.
5. Support and Guidance
To assist our partners in preparing and implementing the Carbon Inventory, we will provide detailed guidelines and necessary resources to facilitate the process.
B4’s sustainability team will be available to answer any questions and provide the necessary guidance for compliance with this requirement.
For this purpose, the Agente do Clima solution is already available free of charge for a limited time.
We are confident that together, we can contribute significantly to building a more sustainable and ethical future. We appreciate your collaboration and continuous commitment to adopting responsible and sustainable business practices.
Sincerely,
Board of Directors and Executive Team
B4 – The First Climate Action Exchange
