Introduction

Continued Progress

The inpEV - Instituto Nacional de Processamento de Embalagens Vazias (the National Institute for Processing Empty Containers) presents, in its third sustainability report, its economic, social and environmental performance regarding its activities in 2012 (from January 1st to December 31st, 2012). This publication reports performance indicators, whose measurement was based on guidelines and submitted to the analysis of Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), a reporting model globally adopted by public and private companies, as well as governmental bodies (read more in About this report). <2.1, 3.1 and 3.9>

The initiative continues the reporting process to the main relationship groups: farmers, distribution channels and cooperatives, employees of Campo Limpo System receiving units, associated companies and associations, institutional partners, suppliers, media organizations, public authorities from all levels and the society in general. <3.5>

The economic and financial data were measured according to criteria defined in the Brazilian accounting standards, with inspection of external and independent audit. 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 inspection of external auditors. This work required the participation and direct involvement of all areas of inpEV. <3.13>

Thus, this new report 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. These data also enable readers to understand the reverse logistics of these products – that is, the integrated management of the Campo Limpo System -, as well as new opportunities and initiatives headed by inpEV.

The 2012 Sustainability Report shows the continuous improvement of several actions coordinated by inpEV in economic, social and environmental aspects, wherever the institute operates throughout the country.
