Breakdown – Material topics 102-44 102-47 103-1

The following chart presents a detailed description of each material topic, its relevance to inpEV, and an indication of where impacts may occur.

Material topics Description Why the topic is considered material? Where does the impact occur?
Operational expansion Geographic expansion following the expansion of the agricultural frontier; processing of other agricultural product containers The topic on operational expansion consists of two pillars. The first is related to physical expansion since the Campo Limpo System must follow the expansion of agricultural frontiers regarding empty packaging receipt after their use by farmers, which requires new physical units or itinerant receiving stations, which are under the responsibility of distribution channels with support from inpEV. The second has to do with inpEV's vision of becoming financially self-sufficient where the incorporation of new activities (such as managing waste from other agricultural sectors) and providing consultancy are considered as possible revenue generators and subsidiary means for such.

Operational eco-efficiency Natural resource management: use of materials, water and energy; reduction; and recycling of materials resulting from operations; sustainable facilities and emissions. Eco-efficiency and environmental protection are part of inpEV's DNA. The Campo Limpo System is a concrete case of a circular economy and guarantees that 94% of crop protection packages placed in the market receive environmentally proper destination at its partnering incinerators or recyclers. The quest for ever more sustainable processes and more eco-efficient facilities are also an ongoing activity at the Institute. Material outside inpEV
Innovation & technology Innovation and technology in operations. Innovation has always been a transversal material topic within inpEV: the Institute is always seeking more efficient ways to do more and better, whether by means of process innovations (e.g., unwashed packaging compacting, receipt of post-consumption leftovers, or project to change the empty packaging cleaning process), or in products (such as the development of the Ecoplástica® and Ecocap packaging materials). Material inside and outside inpEV
Human development Career management; collaborator training and development; employee preparation for retirement; talent attraction and retention. Developing internal competencies is key to any business activity. For inpEV, collaborator development generates motivation, business innovation, talent retention and less turnover. Material inside inpEV
Multistakeholder dialog and cooperation Multistakeholder engagement processes; dialog and partnerships; interaction with government and influence on the public power; sector articulation with a positive influence upon the regulatory environment. One of inpEV's values is an "integrating attitude", which reflects the Institute's leadership characteristic, value placed on teamwork, integration among chain links and knowledge dissemination. It brings together characteristics such as "team spirit", "satisfaction of members and other stakeholders" and "solutions developed with the client". Thus, to value dialog and multistakeholder cooperation is in the essence of inpEV's DNA. Material inside and outside inpEV
Education and awareness Socio-environmental awareness development and educational actions involving surrounding communities of the receiving units or regions considered critical from a packaging correct disposal standpoint; actions focusing on farmers that reinforce the importance of the correct disposal of packages. Law nr. 9.974/00 and its Regulatory Decree nr. 4.704/02, which establish the shared responsibilities within the agricultural chain to execute the reverse logistics of empty crop protection packaging, set forth educational and awareness actions regarding the various responsibilities of manufacturers, distribution channels and government. Thus, since inpEV represents the crop protection industry with regard to reverse logistics, development and application of educational actions is part of the Institute's activities since its foundation. Material inside and outside inpEV
Logistics Reverse logistics; safe routes; logistics infrastructure; ease of returning packaging and conditions of transportation. In order to dispose of packages throughout the country, inpEV coordinates a complex logistical operation. Only in 2018 more than 12,000 trucks hauled packaging from receiving units to their destinations (recyclers or incinerators). This is why logistical management is an essential part of the inpEV business, which is responsible for enabling the reverse logistics of packaging all across the country. Material outside inpEV
Economic feasibility Economic and financial performance; growth; new businesses; generation of shared value. InpEV is a nonprofit entity whose activities are mainly funded by the contributions of its members and, to a lesser extent, from revenues generated by the System itself. The topic of "economic feasibility" was considered material since it is directly related to the Institute's vision regarding economic self-sufficiency. Towards this purpose, cost reduction actions, increased efficiency, productivity gains, revenue generation resulting from managing waste from other agricultural sectors and consultancy gain relevance.

How to join inpEV

Manufacturing industries or importers that are registrants of crop protection products according to Federal Law nr. 7802/89 can become members of inpEV provided that, at the time of becoming members they fall under one of the following circumstances: they manufacture (directly or indirectly by means of “tolling” contract), formulate or import at least one crop protection product already commercialized in the Brazilian market; and are the titleholders of the manufacturing, formulation or import rights relating to the registration of said product before the competent organ.

The company must contact inpEV by e-mail or phone to receive the information necessary to schedule an in-person meeting with its legal representative. During this meeting the inpEV reverse logistics system will be explained, as well as the membership procedures, internal processes and costs. The membership proposal is submitted to the Board of Directors once a month for final approval.
