Empresas CMPC SA

CMPC fully supports the objectives outlined in the Paris Agreement and actively promotes the development and implementation of policies and regulations that align with this commitment in all countries where we operate. To ensure that the activities that may have the potential to influence public policy are in line with this commitment, Corporate Affairs oversees all engagements with trade associations and donations associated with political influence. Furthermore, any activities pertaining to representation, company's stance, working groups, and technical and/or strategic aspects related to climate change are directed to the Sustainability Management department, as they possess the required expertise in this area. The Sustainability Manager plays a pivotal role in bringing forward key issues to the Sustainability and Regulation Committee, which convenes on a quarterly basis. The committee is composed by the Chairman of the Board, three (3) Directors, the CEO, Corporate Attorney, Corporate Affairs and Sustainability Manager, Environment, Safety and Occupational Health Manager, and the Sustainability Manager.

Describe the process(es) your organization has in place to ensure that your engagement activities are consistent with your overall climate change strategy[…]To ensure that our policy engagement objectives are aligned with our overall climate change policy and strategy, engagements with trade associations and donations associated with policy influence are supervised by the Corporate Affairs Area, in which also is inserted the Corporate sustainability area. All the most important associations that are likely to take a position on Climate Change or that can influence policy are evaluated and analyzed, participating directly or indirectly in their working groups or committees, by CMPC's Corporate Director of Sustainability, who is the most senior manager in charge of guiding the company's climate change strategy, based on our climate change policy. His participation in these main instances or the participation of a company expert designated by him according to his experience, ensures that the activities in which we participate are aligned with our corporate vision and policies. For example, after several discussions, since 2021 the CEO of CMPC is a board member of the Corporate Leaders Group for Climate Change in Chile (CLG-Chile), one of the most consistent voices of open support for the development of policies in Europe that combat the effects of climate change and maintain a favorable environment for business.
CMPC recognizes its responsibility for climate action in line with its mission, values, and corporate purpose. We rely on scientific data which indicates that human activity has been accelerating global warming. We also understand that deteriorating environmental conditions could in turn have an adverse effect on humanity. In our climate change policy we establish "Working with our people, communities, providers, clients and other stakeholders on building awareness about climate change and its impacts in order to inspire action and develop a shared response†.
The company always consider all of these before engaging in studies, working with peers and making donations to trade association or research, among other similar activities that relate to climate change. CMPC makes yearly donations to several social, cultural and academic institutions that contribute to national scientific, cultural, social, educational and economic development, specially focus in sustainable forest management and innovation.
