BOARD

Alberto Castro

Chairman of the

Board of Directors

We are transparent, aware that this stimulates the will to change, to be better from the bottom perspective, and that good economic performance is not incompatible with a strategy in which the planet and people are, not just a responsibility, but a priority.

2023 was a challenging year

It is known that the cellulosic fiber industry is exposed to cyclical fluctuations, with greater or lesser regularity. That good or excellent years, such as 2021 or 2022, could be followed by less good years would therefore come as no surprise. But, paraphrasing the title of a book on economic crises, it would be said that "This time was different", not so much in nature, but in the speed and intensity with which the descent phase of the cycle occurred, particularly with regard to price trends. Combine this situation with the inertia of factor prices returning to pre-inflationary levels, and we have an environment of "perfect storm", especially demanding when operating in highly competitive commodities markets. As always happens when there are these changes in context, the past has not served as a good predictor of the future, posing additional and even new challenges for management, the organization and people. The future will likely bring us more situations like this. The ability that Altri as a whole has shown to manage such an adverse environment is reason for optimism.

The crisis became yet another opportunity to strengthen the Group's cohesion and competitive capacity, putting values such as Simplicity and Courage to the test: from purchasing processes to sales management, from industrial organization and production to people management, the entire business community mobilized, taking on the challenge, showing its resilience, but also its ambition. Altri comes out of this process with more strength, and more awareness of the priority issues that the future, closer or farther, will put us and, therefore, more prepared to answer them, something that has been recognized by investors and the financial market.

At the same time that our industry was experiencing a less positive situation, the world around it did not stop, complicating the surrounding environment, for reasons ranging from geostrategic tensions to the demands associated with sustainable development objectives (SDGs). The challenges have increased, and their nature has changed. To cope with them, it's not enough just to be more efficient, in the narrow sense of the term. The answer must be more elaborate, which poses new challenges for management, in terms of the diversity and quality of processes, products and skills to be mobilized.

For a company that embraces the motto "Building a more renewable world",
