• In 2018, the Raízen Foundation revised its operating model and started a pilot class for a new educational approach that encourages the development of socioemotional skills and permanence in school. The program is aimed at 9th grade students and lasts for 12 months. This change made it possible to increase the number of young people benefited.
• In 2019, we expanded the program to 5 branches of the Raízen Foundation.
• In the 19/20 harvest, we reached the highest number of young people assisted since the Raízen Foundation revised its operating model and started the pilot class for a new educational approach that encourages the development of socioemotional skills and permanence in school.
• In 2020, during the pandemic, the methodology was adapted to a remote model. The positive results obtained made it possible to develop a program using the same principles in a hybrid model. This change enabled our ambition to reach a larger number of locations. Also in 2020, the Raízen Foundation revised its program aimed at children.
• In 2021, in line with the Raízen Foundation's strategy—which involves the affective relationship with children and young people, the family, and the school and the contribution to reducing school drop-outs in Brazil—we have committed to be present in 100% of the areas surrounding* our operations by 2030, expanding our ties with the community and generating a positive social impact.

• In 2021, we committed to serving 100% of the territories where we operate by 2030, expanding our community ties and creating a positive social impact. This commitment aligns with the Raízen Foundation's strategy, focusing on nurturing relationships with children, young adults, families, and schools.
• Also in 2021, we aimed to broaden the presence of the Raízen Foundation in the territories where Raízen operates. We introduced a hybrid model of the Ativa Juventude Program, partnering with municipal and/or state public schools. These schools provided spaces on a weekly basis outside of regular school hours. This initiative led to the largest number of young people served in the program's history.
• Furthermore, we made progress in the governance and management of the Ativa Juventude Program's operating model. Additionally, new territories were included in our commitment due to the acquisition of new bioenergy parks by Biosev.

• We conducted a comprehensive study to identify macro trends, scenarios, and the social impacts of Raízen's operations. Based on this study, we defined a long-term positioning: commitment to community relations.
• We accelerated the plan to expand the Ativa Juventude program and surpassed the established target. We engaged with 20 municipalities and received positive feedback, reflecting our strong local relationships.

• Baseline 18’19: 7%
• Result 23’24: 57.1%

In recognition of this action, Raízen received the Women on Board seal, an initiative supported by UN Women that recognizes the presence of women on boards of directors.
• Started in August 2021, Mentorship for Women is a program intended to train women with the potential to hold senior management positions. The mentoring program lasts 12 months and includes support and mutual growth sessions through meetings.
