- Potential acute and chronic physical risks from climate change (rising sea levels, extreme weather events).
- Transition risks related to market shifts, regulations, and decarbonization pressure.
- Scope 3 emissions not yet fully quantified.
- Two critical cases of outstanding issues at business partners (one related to labor documentation and the other related to environmental regulations).

✅ Reported Environmental Achievements
- Reduced emissions intensity at terminals.
- Commissioned 12 fully electric yard tractors at the Salvador container terminal, potentially reducing GHG emissions by up to 341 tCO2e annually.
- Rio Grande container terminal signed a 3-year contract to purchase 100% renewable energy, resulting in zero Scope 2 emissions for that terminal.
- 66% of total waste generated was reused or recycled.
🎯 Climate & Sustainability Targets
🔜 Short-term
- Define a quantitative target for reducing scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2025.
