4. SUSTAINALYTICS’OPINIONSection1:SustainabilityPerformanceoftheIssuerContributionoftheGreenBondtoKlabin’sEnvironmentalStrategySustainalyticsisoftheopinionthatKlabinhasastrongoverallenvironmentalstrategy.ThestrengthofKlabin’s strategy is derived from (i) its commitment to the environment which is expressed in itsSustainability Vision as well as its Sustainability Policy; (ii) internal accountability – Klabin has aSustainabilityCommitteewhich is responsible forensuringthatsustainability isan integralpartof thecorporate strategy and all of the managerial processes; (iii) identification of material issues definedwithin its materiality matrix3; (iv) establishment of medium-term environmental targets; and (v)disclosureonprogresstowardsachievingenvironmentaltargets.Klabinupdated itsSustainabilityPolicy in2016andexpanded itsareaspriority.Amongst itspriorities,Klabin commits to: “Avoid and prevent pollution by reducing environmental impacts related towastewater, solidwastes and atmospheric emissions”; “Observe theUnitedNations (UN) SustainableDevelopment Goals (SDG) and to direct its actions and investments in support its objectives”; and“Ensure that the company’s operations are constantly seeking to reduce greenhouse gas emissions(GHG)”.4 Sustainalytics is of the opinion that proceeds from theGreen Bond are in linewith Klabin’scommitments.Additionally, each eligible use of proceed described in the Klabin Green Bond Framework outlinesspecific objectives and actions. The Klabin Green Bond contributes to specific environmental targetsestablished as part of the organization’s medium-term strategy, which commenced in 2013 withexpected targets between 2016 to 2018. Of the targets, the Green Bond directly contributes to thefollowing:

• Reducegreenhousegasemissionsto185CO2e/t(fromScope1andScope2activities);• Reducewaterconsumptionto38m3t/paper;• Increaseparticipationofrenewablesourcesintheenergymatrixto88%.5

Klabin publically reports on its progress in achieving these environmental targets. Between 2004 to2012,thecompanyreducedCO2emissionsby61%from492kgofCO2e/tofpaperto192kgofCO2e/tofpaper.6 Sustainalytics is of the opinion that transparent disclosure on targets and performance isindicativeoftheprioritythecompanyassignstoachievingresults.

Klabin purchasesbetween15%and20%ofitstotaltimberrequirementsfromlocalsmallandmedium-sizedfarmers.TheForestry IncentivesProgramhas led toover25,000hectaresofpartner-producerareasbecomingFSCcertified as of 2016. Studies have shown that forests which are FSC certifiedmitigate social risks byproviding more benefits to communities than uncertified forests by establishing more effective andbetter organized institutions for communicationwith communities and equitable financial support todevelopment projects. 8 As such, Sustainalytics is of theopinion that the Forestry Incentives ProgramcontributestoKlabin’scommitmentstousecertifiedwoodinitsproductionandalsoleadstothesocio-economicdevelopmentofnearbycommunities.Klabinhasdedicatedmorethan40%ofitsforesttotheconservationofnativeforestandmaintenanceof biodiversity, which is more than required by Brazilian legislation. In order to develop productiveforestarea,Klabinusesthemosaicconceptwherepineandeucalyptusplantationsaremixedwithareasof native forests Brazilian Atlantic Forest in order to create ecological corridors. Additionally, thecompanydoesnotuse genetically-modified (GM) seedlings in forestryoperations andhas committedthat no Green Bond proceeds will be allocated to the introduction of GM organisms in its forestryoperations.Sustainalytics is of the opinion that Klabin has followed best practices in managing its forests andprotectingnatural resources throughboth theFSC certificationaswell as the ISO14001certification,andthroughadoptionofsustainableenvironmentalpractices.Sustainalyticsbelievesthatsuchpracticesenable Klabin to mitigate common social and environmental risks associated with its operations.Moreover,SustainalyticshasfoundnoevidenceofmajorenvironmentalorsocialcontroversiesrelatedtoKlabinandassuchisoftheopinionthatKlabiniswellpositionedtoissueGreenBonds.

Section2:ImpactofUseofProceedsNecessityofResearchandDevelopmentandAdaptationStudiesinthePulpandPaperIndustryAs one of the largest industrial sectors in the world, the pulp and paper industry has an enormousinfluence on global forests. Unsustainable pulpwood production can negatively impact climate byreleasingcarbonintotheatmosphere,threatenfragileecosystemsandspeciesandcausesoilerosion.9Sustainalytics is of the opinion that it is crucial for companieswithin the pulp and paper industry tounderstandclimatechanges,withintheirregionofoperation, inordertoadapttoclimatechangeandmitigate potential risks, such as wildfire. Furthermore, ongoing Research and Development (R&D) iscrucialinordertocontinuouslyseekopportunitiestoreducenegativeenvironmentalimpactsassociatedwithoperations.ProceedsfromKlabin’sGreenBondwillsupportResearchandDevelopment(R&D)aswellasadaptationtoclimatechangewhichareinlinewithKlabin’sSustainabilityPolicy,inwhichthecompanycommitstoinnovation, research and development and reducing environmental impact. Klabin’s commitment toreduce environmental impact through innovation is supported through the recent establishment ofKlabin’sTechnologyCenterinthestateofParaná.TheCenterbringstogetherprofessionals,laboratoriesand state-of-the-art equipment in order to respond to current needs and supportmedium and long-term sustainabilityprojects10. Klabinhas also recently establishedaClimateCommittee to study risksand opportunities of climate change. The study was based on internal mapping of recent impactsobservedonthecompany’soperationsduetoclimaticevents.TheCommittee identifiedhighseverityrisks,suchastemperatureincreaseandincreasedfrequencyofintenseheat.KlabinhascommunicatedtoSustainalyticsthattheoutcomesoftheclimatestudyaswellasanadaptationplanisexpectedtobepresentedandendorsedbytheExecutiveBoard.SustainalyticshasapositiveviewofKlabin’seffortstowardsunderstandingeffectsofclimatechangeonits operations as well as ongoing efforts to reduce negative environmental impacts. However,Sustainalytics believes that Klabin can further strengthen its Sustainability Policy by incorporating acommitmenttowardsadaptationtoclimatechangeandbyreferencinganobjectivetocreatepositiveenvironmentalimpactaspartofitsR&Dmissionstatement.Lastly,Klabinshouldensurethatproceedsfrom the Green Bond used towards R&D are only allocated towards activities with the objective ofcreatingpositiveenvironmentalimpact.
