17 Jun 2022 --- Suzano is launching a global corporate venture capital initiative through which it will invest US$70 million in a range of businesses, including those working to create more efficient pulp packaging, to address environmental challenges. The global initiative, called Suzano Ventures, will focus on companies operating within at least one of four bioeconomy applications: improving the measurement and management of carbon sequestration, accelerating and maximizing agroforestry yield, developing new technologies and applications for pulp biomass, and creating more efficient pulp packaging from renewable sources.“We see increasing demand from consumers and wider stakeholders for high-quality and [environmentally] sustainably sourced and manufactured products,” Julio Ramundo, director of carbon businesses and corporate ventures at Suzano, tells PackagingInsights.
