RELATÓRIO DE SUSTENTABILIDADE | MENSAGEM
Dear friends,
In recent years, we have made this delightful job of communicating how we are evolving in
Sustainable and Social issues. This report briefly presents some examples of how we work. It is
not exhaustive, and it is certainly limited in presenting all of our daily decisions, which we always
try to embed the values related to People and Sustainability, considering the latter the way we
like to describe it: Doing More with Less.
We believe it is important, even working hard on hitting targets, to improve our results and our
team, to innovate and be more productive, and to share with you how we can do this within our
Values, which include the care of our Team, Community and Environment.
Message
from Pepe
CECRISA S.A. PRESIDENT
This is the most important message that we would like to present to you this year: there is no
trade-off between these issues. On a more conceptual level this is clear, but also on a daily
basis it is clear to us all. When we improve our industrial efficiency, we are doing more with less.
When we integrate with customers and suppliers, reducing stock levels and doing a more
productive chain, we also affect the Environment positively.
When we think and execute programs, such as Together for Our Children, in which we take care
of our special children as a group (one of my kids, that inspired this program, has autism), we do
not help us only as a Team, but we become better professionals and people, being more
productive. All these energies intensify, add and integrate each other. We live it and when you
read this report, you will understand that it is not something isolated from our daily lives, on the
contrary, it is part of everything else.
Finally, we would like to thank the people and organizations who inspired us with their examples
and allow us to join forces productively. Much of what we do is done in partnership. Without
our partners, we would do much less.
We are available to share our experiences and exchange what we have been learning with those
who want to get closer. We are on progress, building a path. Exchanging experiences, it will
certainly be more pleasant and productive.
Regards,
Pepe

"Together for Our Children" Program
This program began in December of 2013 aiming
to give financial support (to employees’ children)
that are in need of special medical treatment, in
order to promote the citizenship among the
professionals, doing good actions and developing
a new world where the economic, social and
environmental dimensions are always in balance.
The target audience are children of professionals,
under 12, with special needs who require medical /
psychological / therapeutic treatments, where the
financial assistance will make a difference. During
the year, the accompaniments of children are
followed by godparents (company managers),
that periodically keep in touch with each case.
Through visits, they fill up a report that is sent
every two months reporting the pathology, the
current situation of the child and which assists
they are using.

"We become better people when we promote efforts in good causes, and the
highest reward is the pleasure and the joy that we feel when we practice it. Projects
of this nature provide better living conditions to the ones who receive the benefits
and show to the professionals who are part of these activities their real importance.
It leads them to achieve an immense gratification with the work done, contributing
to self-growth, because many begin these actions in the organizational environment,
and see the results in their personal life. In addition, the relationship with social actions
allow people to discover talents for activities that they never knew they could have,
more than a challenge to overcome it can be a highly rewarding experience, involving
learning, commitment and identification with causes of vital importance for the
individual and collective development within the organization and its surroundings."

“The invitation made by the President of Cecrisa was a great joy for the Amplitude
Project. We are an organization that provides multidisciplinary care for autistic children
with low family income and all is offered for free. The year of 2014 came full of complex
challenges and the opportunity to rely on the initiative of a "Dinner / Auction" fit like a
glove for the project. The financial resources achieved with the dinner invitations sale and
the results of the ceramic pieces auction, allowed us to keep some activities that were at
risk. Not mentioning other benefits such as showing the Amplitude Project to other people
who can help us within their professional and personal realities. We thank Cecrisa’s
President and Cecrisa employees who made this event possible. This appreciation is done
not only by the direction of Amplitude Project, but also by the families of children who
are there and that may continue going there because of these initiatives. Thank you very
much.”

Process Waste
Cecrisa Waste Management Program involves a set of actions aimed mainly
to reduce the generation of waste and prevent negative environmental
impacts on the environment.
All waste generated in the process undergo a selection process, qualification
and quantification before the evaluation to define their proper disposal. After
an awareness campaign and source reduction, the waste generated are
separated internally by professionals in defined collectors, and a definition of
the appropriate recycling of it is made, or as a last resort to a final disposal in
landfills.
Only in 2014, 33.000 tons of recycled waste were used in the development
of new products, avoiding that raw materials were extracted from the
environment.
In the packaging recovery process, in 2014 more than 63 thousand pallets
were recovered to be reused for storage of the finished products, reventing
the cutting of new trees.

Industrial Processes
With the recycling process, we send about 1.364 million tons of recyclable waste (paper, plastic and
metals) to others production processes for reuse.
Recyclable waste is separated and sent to specialized companies that will perform a new segregation in
recyclable rows and turn them into other finished products. As a management system indicator, only in
2014, of the waste generated by the process, 91% were sent to some process of internal reuse or
recycling, equivalent to 2.93 kg of waste / m² produced.
The process’ wastes are separated by types and reused in the formulation of new products.
Some of these materials are crushed in mills, reducing its particle size for reuse in the ceramic paste
formulation, reducing milling time and energy consumption in the process.
Considered as non-recyclable waste or dangerous, those not eligible for reuse, are intended for industrial
landfills in order to minimize their impact towards the environment and in order to meet environmental

Reverse Logistic
Composting
Cecrisa has partnerships with its major suppliers in
order to use reverse logistics for the packaging
of their products. The materials used for storage
and transportation of raw materials are separated
and returned to their suppliers. This action
contributes to minimization of waste generated
internally (pallets, bags, and other packagings),
while meets legal requirements. Also, we develop
works with suppliers, aiming the formulation of
new inputs to the production process, using
waste generated in their own plants.
In the industrial units the composting technique is
used in order to process the organic waste
generated in the cafeterias where the meal for our
professionals are prepared. The organic waste
generated in the meal preparation process are
separated and sent for composting located in the
industrial plants, where the waste is broken down
biologically, turning food leftovers into organic
fertilizer, being distributed to its employees and
used in the company's sites.

Atmospheric Emissions
All gas emissions generated in the production process in the ceramic mass preparation stage are treated using

The sludge from this system is separated and sent to cement companies that make the reuse in the
formulation of cement artifacts.
Periodic monitoring are performed in these emission sources, comparing the results obtained with applicable
laws, and passed on for analysis of environmental agencies.
In the step of burning the ceramics, the heat generated in the process is transferred trought pipes and reused in
the drying phase of the product. With that, we reduce the consumption of natural gas, and energy in the

Cecrisa makes use of an electronic system to purchase its inputs. All suppliers are subjected to a preliminary
questionnaire, and at the end they receive a score aiming the balance between economic, social and environmental
dimensions. The score ranking will influence the purchase of an input, demonstrating our conduct toward the companies
that does not meet the legal standards.
Considered one of the most impressive activities of the ceramic industry, the stage of raw materials extraction is
controlled strictly by the company. To control these impacts, Cecrisa adopts a system of regular inspection in the fields
of its suppliers where it is extracted raw material of the environment. Such surveys have the goal to check with the
suppliers the compliance of the requirements set by environmental agencies and responsible for the mineral production,
and ensure the integrity and quality of the supply of raw material for the manufacture of our porcelain tile.
One of the main care is in relation to the possible interference of extraction activities in the areas considered
environmental preservation (near springs and water streams), and for this control to be possible our suppliers adopt a
simultaneous process of recovery of these fields. Thus, the recovery process takes place in parallel to the extraction, with
continuous monitoring of stages and advances of the environmental recoveries, and areas already rehabilitated by
suppliers.
