    Chairman of Suzano's Board of Directors

    ‌



    For over a century, we have learned that longevity means not simply enduring the passage of time, but also knowing how to listen to it, understand it and respond responsibly to the transformations it brings, without losing the essence of who we are. As Suzano evolves, we also reaffirm our commitment to leaving a legacy for future generations.

    We live in a time when global challenges are becoming increasingly complex and

    interconnected. In this context, one attribute has proven indispensable: the ability to anticipate and adapt.

    In 2025, we directed our energy to

    strengthening this adaptability and ensuring that we continue to advance toward the

    sustainable growth of the business. We are

    focusing our efforts on what generates shared value, for society and for Suzano, evolving in decisive levers to drive competitiveness and

    growth, with capital discipline, while remaining focused on operational excellence and

    capturing value from the more than R$70 billion invested in the last five years.

    An example of our movement in this direction was the announcement of a joint venture with Kimberly-Clark, which includes 22 plants in 14 countries and an installed capacity of 1 million tonnes of tissue per year. In line with our strategic lever of growth through value creation, this initiative marks Suzano's entry into the global consumer goods market.

    The pursuit of competitiveness and innovation continues to move forward alongside our respect for nature and society. At Suzano, sustainability is a structural component of the decisions that shape our future.

    This belief naturally led us to revise our sustainability strategy last year, making it even more cross-cutting and integrated into the business. The process involved adjustments in governance and the refinement of our Commitments to Renewing Life (CRLs), which are now organized into three axes-Climate,

    Nature and Social-reinforcing our intention to concentrate efforts where we can generate impact at scale and contribute to relevant global solutions.

    ‌None of these developments would be possible without the people who are part of Suzano: employees, customers, suppliers, partners, communities, investors, competitors and

    the general public. It is with them that we continuously learn and for them that we work in consistency with our strong-and-kind culture.

    This ambidextrous approach-which combines strength and kindness, quarterly results and long-term vision, boldness and humility, resilience and adaptability-has been critical to help us navigate different cycles, innovate and respond to change.

    This means adopting ambitious environmental, social and governance practices, while simultaneously pursuing solid operational and financial results, such as those presented in this Sustainability Report.

    The future we desire demands responsible choices and a clear vision of their effects over time. This is how we will continue to chart Suzano's path: remaining committed to renewing life inspired by trees and making concrete contributions toward a more sustainable and prosperous future for people and the planet.

    David Feffer

    Chairman of Suzano's Board of Directors

    "The pursuit of competitiveness and innovation continues to move

    forward alongside our respect for nature and society. At Suzano, sustainability

    is a structural component of the decisions that shape our future."

    ‌MESSAGE FROM

    SUZANO'S CEO

    GRI 2-22

    Beto Abreu

    Suzano's CEO

    ‌



    The year 2025 marked an important point in our journey. Despite the complex and challenging global environment, with intensified competition, we sharpened our focus on what generates the most shared value for the business and for society.

    We continue to be guided by two strategic avenues: boosting our competitiveness and growing with capital discipline. While the former ensures the operational rigor needed in the present, the latter establishes the foundations of our future. By prioritizing investments with higher added value and positive social and environmental impact, we ensure profitable growth aligned with our long-term vision.

    After completing a significant investment cycle-more than R$70 billion invested in the last five years, with R$40 billion allocated to the expansion and modernization of our assets-2025 became the time to reap the rewards of this effort. We developed structural measures to reduce our

    total operating expenses (OpEx) and made strides in efficiency, operational excellence and sustainability, preparing Suzano for future cycles.

    The Ribas do Rio Pardo site completed its first year in operation, producing 2.58 million tonnes of pulp, exceeding its nominal capacity. We expanded our consumer goods operation with the inauguration of a tissue mill in Aracruz and strengthened our position in ftuff pulp with a new line in Limeira, which will quadruple our current capacity. We also expanded fiber-to-fiber routes, incorporating our short eucalyptus fiber into applications that have traditionally used other fibers.

    The productivity of our farms-our main assets-evolved through a combination of advanced genetics, world-class silviculture and responsible management, supported by the planting of approximately 1.2 million seedlings a day.

    Another important highlight was an agreement signed with Eldorado, which involves the exchange of forest assets in Mato Grosso do Sul and will increase our operational efficiency by optimizing logistics and resources.

    Our internationalization efforts also progressed. In the United States, Suzano Packaging recorded its first positive adjusted EBITDA, one year after its integration. And we took a historic step with a joint venture with Kimberly-Clark: a US$1.7 billion investment that includes 22 plants in 14 countries, with an installed capacity of 1 million tonnes of tissue per year.

    ‌None of this would have been possible without the people who make Suzano happen: a team of people who inspire and transform and who

    drive us to go further. We are proud to know that 92% of employees recommend the company as an excellent place to work-a reftection of the strength and kindness that shape our culture.

    We also increased the percentage of women in leadership positions (functional manager and above) to 30.18%, reinforcing our commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion.

    We maintain our conviction that it is only good for us if it is good for the world. Therefore, we continue to improve our production and business models, having innovation as a cross-cutting axis and increasingly integrating sustainability into our strategy. We firmly believe that positive impact, competitiveness and value creation

    go hand in hand-a principle that guided the evolution of our sustainability strategy and accelerated our Commitments to Renewing Life, aligned with the UN SDGs.

    We also expanded dialogue with communities and strengthened our value chain, establishing partnerships that boost our environmental and social agenda. We recognize that these factors are essential for the resilience of our business model and for the development of the regions where we operate.

    In the social arena, we celebrated the milestone of helping lift 44,344 people out of poverty in 2025, through our initiatives and partnerships with development banks, international agencies, governments, the Brazilian S System and private social investors. In total, 141,686 individuals have been supported so far, moving toward the goal

    of lifting 200,000 people out of poverty in the areas where Suzano operates by 2030. This result, audited annually, demonstrates our ability to drive income generation with autonomy and support real transformation in people's lives.

    In the environmental area, we made progress toward our goal of connecting half a million hectares of land fragments in the Amazon, Atlantic Forest and Cerrado biomes-a key step in curbing biodiversity loss. In the last year, we incorporated 55,366 hectares into these ecological corridors, connecting a total of 214,368 hectares since 2020.

    I invite you to learn about our main results and achievements in 2025 on the following pages. Each development reinforces our purpose of renewing life inspired by trees and contributing to the creation of a more sustainable future.

‌PRODUCTS AND BRANDS

GRI 2-6, 3-3: PRODUCT DESIGN AND LIFE CYCLE MANAGEMENT

‌



Suzano's solutions and innovations are part of the everyday lives of people and organizations, meeting both individual needs and the demands from several value chains. The origin of this portfolio are trees, which are grown under

forest management and then transformed into sustainable materials. The company's farms, located Brazil, are dedicated to eucalyptus-which is grown exclusively for the production of pulp, paper and other bio-based inputs-and reestablished after each harvest cycle.

Through continuous investments in research, development and new technologies, Suzano increases the efficiency of its processes and strengthens its role in the bioeconomy, leveraging the use of renewable resources as an alternative to fossilbased materials. These are processes that combine functionality, innovation and environmental responsibility, while focusing on current and future needs of society.

Suzano's value chain encompasses everything from the supply of inputs and services to forestry and industrial operations, to the sale of pulp (including ftuff), papers for different uses and consumer goods. The pulp business serves primarily producers of toilet paper, printing and

writing paper, specialty papers and packaging, sold in Asia, Europe, Latin America and North America.

Across this value chain, bioproducts are key elements in the strategy to drive the transition to a renewable-based economy. By expanding the use of renewable fibers to replace fossil-based raw materials, such as plastic, the company establishes the fossil-to-fiber concept, which consists of using eucalyptus fiber in solutions that would traditionally use other non-renewable fibers or inputs.

In the ftuff market, the company primarily sells to manufacturers of absorbent products (such as baby and adult diapers, menstrual pads and pet mats, among others), focusing on markets such as Brazil, China, Japan, Mexico, European countries and the Middle East.

In the paper and packaging segment, Suzano engages with different players in the value chain, such as printing companies, converters and distributors, maintaining a close relationship with brand owners through joint projects. In this segment, the company emphasizes that it has

no direct involvement in supplying inputs to the tobacco value chain.

In the consumer goods sector, converting of final products takes place in seven industrial sites: Aracruz, Belém, Cachoeiro de Itapemirim, Imperatriz, Maracanaú, Mogi das Cruzes and Mucuri. Suzano's tissue business is divided into two main lines: consumer (at home) and professional (away from home).

‌Increased Competitiveness

As part of a continuous process of strategy evaluation and disciplined capital allocation, Suzano periodically reviews its portfolio of businesses and innovation initiatives. This exercise is key to ensuring that the company's investments are aligned with priorities and long-term value creation, and boosts its competitiveness in an increasingly challenging global environment.

In recent years, Suzano has made progress in the exploration of new technological routes and business models. However, as the company reached the end of a cycle of significant investments and homed in on execution, efficiency and return on invested capital, it decided to deprioritize some initiatives that,

although technically sound, no longer align with its current capital allocation guidelines.

The reassessment of its stake in Woodspin, its joint venture with Spinnova, for example, reftects this change. Suzano decided not to further invest in the business, including the plant inaugurated in Finland in 2024. The discontinuation of the microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) plant in the Limeira (SP) site follows this same focus, since its viability was directly linked to the scale and continuity of the Woodspin initiative.

After a comprehensive analysis that considered factors such as strategic alignment, technological efficiency and return on invested capital, Suzano also decided to discontinue its lignin business, including the Ecolig® product line. The decision aims to direct the company's competitiveness and efforts toward solutions with greater potential for long-term impact and scalability.

Commitments made to partners and customers are being honored, including technical support during the transition period.

In 2025, this move toward simplification also motivated the decision to close down operations at the research lab in Burnaby, Canada, and migrate its activities to Suzano's labs in Brazil, enabling the company to prioritize larger-scale and more competitive businesses.

Also in line with its focus on competitiveness and prioritization, Suzano is discontinuing Suzano Ventures, an initiative created to support and develop startups. Active partnerships will

be maintained and will be managed by the business units associated with the area of each project. The company believes that it is more effective and agile to monitor and collaborate with external startups that already offer mature solutions to business challenges, thus optimizing the innovation ecosystem and value creation.

Reftecting this move toward strategic focus and

asset optimization, Suzano also announced the end of operations at the Rio Verde site, on January 5, 2026. After in-depth studies and several diversification attempts, Suzano chose to concentrate its printing and writing paper

operations in sites that already manufacture these products: Suzano, Limeira and Mucuri, in Brazil, in addition to its international facilities in Pine Bluff and Waynesville, in the United States.

Following this review, investments in innovation have been concentrated on two key strategic areas. The first is forest biotechnology, focusing on increasing the productivity, resilience and efficiency of Suzano's farms. The second is the exploration of new applications of short fiber, as part of the fossil-to-fiber and fiber-to-fiber agendas, expanding the use of pulp in different renewable solutions that also replace fossilbased materials or other less competitive fibers, thus unlocking new sustainable markets.
