In addition to its expansion and strong market share, Cosan also invests in commitments to people, the community and the sustainable development of Brazil.

Culture

Cosan’s cultural sponsorship policy is aligned with its strategic planning, and especially with its philosophy on social and environmental responsibility. For the company, the arts, music and drama encourage integration between the community, culture and education and also preserve the history and identity of each region.

Health and Safety Policy

Seriousness, responsibility and respect for life define the way Raízen carries out its staff’s health and safety processes. The company constantly complies with practices that prevent accidents, damage or occupational hazards, by encouraging the active participation of each associate in identifying, eliminating or managing risks inherent to its operations.

Raízen provides its staff with training through courses, professional training and specific awareness programs to prevent accidents. An important initiative provided by the company in the ergonomics area is workplace exercise with rural, industrial and administrative staff. The practice, in addition to stimulating physical exercise and improving the quality of life, also greatly reduces work-related accident leave.

One of Raízen’s goals is to target its efforts on changing behavior, leading by example, and following procedures. Although these are apparently simple, principles such as these make a difference when it comes to excellence and well-being for the associates and for people in the community, clients and the general public.

The Company believes that health and safety must be managed with the same commitment and accountability as production, costs and trading, and this guides its way.
