Guided by our purpose of renewing life inspired by trees, Suzano is a global reference in developing sustainable and innovative solutions from renewable sources. For us, innovation and sustainability go hand in hand. We believe that this movement we call INNOVABILITY was founded in trees and that the native forests and eucalyptus farms we manage can generate renewable resources for countless businesses. Our story begins here.

Welcome to Suzano Asia.
At Suzano, sustainability and innovation are the cornerstone of our business and are our commitment to society and the environment. We believe in Innovability, the pursuit of sustainable solutions through innovation, which is the central principle upon which our business is predicated. Innovability is the natural calling of our company, which is a business inspired by the trees we plant and driven by solutions from renewable sources.
From sustainably harvesting and reforesting our eucalyptus farms to innovating new biological based products, our relentless efforts in Innovability underpin our global success and within Asia.
Currently, the Asian market is one of the most critical markets for Suzano. In particular, China, where Suzano Asia first started in 2007, has the highest annual demand and consumption of market pulp. As sustainable development issues such as carbon neutrality and biodiversity conservation receive more attention in China, Suzano Asia hopes to become an open platform that offers multiple bio-based solutions to support China in its transition to a low-carbon economy.
It is in the shared interest of Suzano and China to expand our partnership and steadfast friendship and to realize the full potential of this collaboration.
We hope to continue to deepen our integration into China market to continue deliver quality and competitive bio-based products to realize a carbon-neutral and more sustainable future. Please join us in reimagining a better world and a cleaner future together.
