Vamos advances and achieves an A- grade; other companies in the group record a B grade
São Paulo, February 2025 - Vamos, a SIMPAR group company, has improved its CDP (Carbon Disclosure Project) score from B to A-, followed by the other group companies assessed in the index - JSL and Movida and SIMPAR itself - which secured a "B" score in the ranking.
Sustainability at SIMPAR and its subsidiaries
SIMPAR invests in efficiency and prioritizes renewable energy sources, including CO2 Emissions Management, waste management and conscious consumption of natural resources. The subsidiaries are working to reduce their emissions intensity by 15% by 2030, a target linked to the Sustainability-Linked Bond.
JSL has a modern fleet and invests experimentally in new technologies and systems that contribute to efficiency gains and reduce emissions and environmental impacts. The company adopts eco-efficiency actions and buys renewable energy, always considering climate risks and opportunities in its business strategy.
Movida is the first publicly traded company in the sector to be certified as a B Corporation. In 2020, it became the first global rental company to issue a Sustainability-Linked Bond (SLB) committed to reducing emissions and the first in America to have targets recognized by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Its initiatives include encouraging the use of ethanol, installing solar panels in stores and using containers in unit structures.
Vamos promotes sustainability throughout its chain by expanding its offer of trucks and machinery for hire, which contributes to fleet renewal in the country. The company created the first electric 100% mobile workshop and, since 2019, has offered Vamos Carbono Zero, neutralizing emissions from scopes 1 and 2 and offsetting for customers in scope 3.
Other recognitions
In 2024, SIMPAR joined B3's Carbon Efficient Index (ICO2) for the first time. This recognition reinforces the Group's commitment to best management practices and efficiency in reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Created in 2010, B3's ICO2 promotes transparency and efficiency in the management of GHG emissions.
In B3's ISE (Corporate Sustainability Index), SIMPAR stands out for having the largest number of companies participating in this important indicator. Like the holding company, the group's other listed companies - JSL, Movida and Vamos - are also part of B3's ISE Portfolio. The holding also stands out in the Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA), with its companies among the highest scores in their respective sectors in Brazil.
As a global platform for disclosing environmental data, the CDP and other indexes help companies to manage their environmental impact, improve their transparency and demonstrate their commitment to sustainability. "The companies' good results reflect their sustainability strategies and our role, as a holding company, in contributing to and encouraging the continuous evolution of our operational processes, efficiency gains and sustainable development through the adoption of high governance and socio-environmental practices, driving the agenda throughout the group," says Paula Pedrão, SIMPAR's executive director of communication and sustainability.
