Publicly-held Company
São Paulo, November 30, 2021 – Camil Alimentos S.A. (“Company” or “Camil”) concluded on
November 18, 2021 its first green debentures issuance (R$150 million corresponding to the
1st series) as funding for investment in the construction of a new thermoelectric plant, which will
enable the Company to increase its capacity for generating renewable energy used in its
industrial grain units in Brazil.
With the new thermoelectric plant, powered by biomass, Camil wants to use the rice husk from
one of its processing operations to generate energy. Rice husk has a high calorific power and
thermal regularity for the production of thermoelectric processes, making it a more sustainable
alternative to fossil fuels.
In Brazil, 95% of the energy consumed by Camil´s industrial units comes from renewable sources,
of which 43% came from its own generation in the last year. The generation is carried out from
the volume of husk from the industrial process as fuel in the Company's two small thermoelectric
plants, located in the cities of Itaqui and Capão do Leão (RS). The company has been increasing
its own generation in recent years, recording an annual increase of 7% of its own generation in
the year ended February 2021.
The new unit is expected to begin operating in 2023 and will increase the capacity of energy
generation using it´s rice husk production.
Keeping up with the best market practices through innovative solutions to expand sources of
clean energy and generate greater energy efficiency in Latin America is among the most relevant
topics for Camil's environmental management. As a tool to promote transparency, we keep the
market informed of our environmental practices and advances in the Company's ESG Report,
available with CVM and on the investor relations website.
