About the report

Improved Report

The 2012 Sustainability Report covers the activities developed by inpEV from January 1st to December 31. This third annual report, based on economic, social and environmental dimensions, presents a group of 35 indicators defined according to the guidelines of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), a model of world reference adopted in the production of corporate reports, in version 3.1. <3.1, 3.2 and 3.9>

This publication reached the application level B, according to the GRI requirements, which also indicates improvements in some process aspects in relation to the content of the prior report, for 2011, based on version 3.0 of international guidelines, and which fulfilled the parameters of level C. <3.3>

The report ensures continuity of the accounting process started in 2004, to the main audiences to which inpEV relates: farmers, distribution channels and cooperatives, employees from the container receiving units of the Campo Limpo System, associated companies and associations, institutional partners, suppliers, media vehicles, public authorities and the society in general. <4.17>

This report, as it consolidates the main initiatives and the balance for 2012, is an updated source of reference about the final disposal of post-consumer containers of pesticides in Brazil, considered an international reference due to results obtained since 2002, when the Campo Limpo System started operating.

The economic and financial performance indicators were measured according to criteria defined in the Brazilian accounting standards and properly analyzed in external and independent auditing. On the other hand, all socio-environmental information, covering the administrative activities of the institute’s headquarter and the actions related to the Campo Limpo System, were internally consolidated, without any analysis and validation of external auditors. <3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.9 and 3.13>

All structured areas of inpEV were engaged in the different stages of this report, whose content was defined internally by the institute to fulfill the demands of different stakeholders. The comparability with the 2011 report content is ensured, and the alterations are indicated in the text itself or in explanatory notes. <3.5 and 3.10>

As a form to further improve the reporting process, inpEV also decided to conduct, in the next period, the first test of materiality, involving employees, associates and experts, which are closer audiences and with expertise in the sector. In practice, the purpose of this broadened test is to keep the alignment of the content that will be reported to fulfill different expectations and information needs of stakeholders about all activities developed by the Campo Limpo System, which has enabled integrated actions of different players, with shared responsibilities, in the chain value.
