This figure reflects the company's commitment to sustainability, although specific Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions data were not disclosed.

The company has not inherited emissions data from any parent organization, indicating that their sustainability initiatives are independently managed. GELITA's headquarters is located in Brazil, and their climate commitments align with industry standards, focusing on reducing environmental impact through improved production practices. As they continue to monitor and report their emissions, further transparency and specific reduction targets may enhance their sustainability profile in the future.
