| (ii) | Protection of society: one of Suzano's three cultural drivers is: “It is only good for us, if it is good for the world”. Since the beginning of the pandemic, Suzano has adopted a series of measures to protect society, including:
| • | Donation of toilet paper, napkins and disposable diapers produced by the Company for needy regions.

| • | Donation of oxygen concentrators acquired in a joint action involving Suzano, Bradesco, BRF, B3, Embraer, Gerdau, Ultra Group, Itaú Unibanco, Magazine Luiza, Marfrig, Natura&Co and Unipar, which were delivered to the Ministry of Health, who will be responsible to carry out the logistics for the distribution of concentrators.

| (iii) | Protection for business: to date, the Company continues with its normal operations and a crisis management committee has been implemented.
The paper and pulp sector were recognized by the World Health Organization (“WHO”), as well as by several countries, as a producer of goods essential to society. Therefore, in order to fulfill the responsibility arising from the essentiality of the business, Suzano has taken measures to ensure, to the greatest extent possible, operational normality and full service to its customers, increasing the level of wood and raw material inventories in the factories and has been advancing its inventories of finished goods product bringing them closer to their customers to mitigate possible risks of disruption in the factories' supply chain and the sale of their products. The current situation resulting from the COVID-19 also implies a higher credit risk, especially for its customers in the paper business. Thus, the Company has also been monitoring the evolution of this risk and implementing measures to mitigate it, and so far, there has been no significant financial impact. As previously disclosed during the year 2020, the Company temporarily stopped production for 30 days from April 27, 2020 and May 1, 2020 on the paper production lines of the Mucuri and Rio Verde industrial units, respectively, however, the activities of the factories were resumed at normal level at the beginning of July 2020 and have been maintained until now. Finally, it is worth noting that, as a result of the current scenario, the Company has made and maintained a vast communication effort to its main stakeholders, ensuring transparency and adequate flow of information about dynamics of the social and economic conjuncture. 1.2.2.Conclusion of commitment to purchase and sale of rural properties and forests with conditions precedent (“Closing”) On January 5, 2021, through a Notice to the Market, the Company informed the conclusion of the transaction with Bracell SP Celulose Ltda.(“Bracell”) and Turvinho Participações Ltda.

From the total amount received:

In addition, of the amount received for the sale of rural properties, R$50,415 was classified as marketable securities of long-term as escrow account, whose amount will only be released after compliance with the documentary regularization of certain rural properties as defined in the terms of the purchase and sale. Regularization costs were estimated at R$8,000 and were recognized in the other operating results. In the six-month period ended June 30, 2021, the Company recognized sales revenue in the amount of R$801,958 because of the transfer of control of part of the assets. 1.2.3.New facility in Cachoeiro de Itapemirim (ES) In early 2021, the Company inaugurated a new facility located in the city of Cachoeiro de Itapemirim, in the state of Espírito Santo, which will convert tissue paper (soft and high-absorption papers) into finished products. Mimmo and Max Pure brand toilet papers will be produced. The facility has the capacity to produce 30 thousand tons per year of toilet paper, which is equivalent to 1,000,000 rolls/day. 1.2.4.Cerrado Project Approval On May 12, 2021, the Company communicated through material fact, that its Board of Directors approved, subject to the conditions below, the realization of investment for construction of a new pulp production mill with a nominal capacity of 2,300,000 tons of eucalyptus pulp per year, in the municipality of Ribas do Rio Pardo, in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, known as Cerrado Project (“Cerrado Project” or “Project”). The Project shall have an industrial capital investment estimated on R$14,700,000, the disbursement of which shall be distributed between the years of 2021 and 2024. The Company estimates that the new plant will start operating in the first quarter of 2024. The approval and the effective execution of the Cerrado Project are subject to (i) the Company's commitment to financial discipline, maintaining compliance with the parameters established in the Suzano’s Debt Management Policy; and (ii) the conclusion of the negotiation of the acquisition of the equipment and services necessary to carry out the Project, under satisfactory conditions, to be subsequently evaluated and resolved by the Board of Directors. The Project shall be financed by the Company's cash position and cash generation from current businesses, which can be complemented by financing, provided that the conditions are attractive in terms of cost and term. The Cerrado Project represents an important advance in the Company's long-term strategy, contributing to the expansion of its structural competitiveness, meeting the growing demand for hardwood pulp and Suzano’s evolution in sustainability - especially regarding climate and waste, providing a major carbon capture increase arising from the new forest base. In addition, the expectation is that the new plant will have an excess capacity for generating renewable energy of approximately 180 average megawatts, being also considered in the industry as free from fossil fuels, a new milestone for Suzano in eco-efficiency that demonstrates its commitment to society and the planet. 1.2.5.Investment remeasurement – Spinnova On May 17, 2021, the Company increased its capital in associate Spinnova by EUR5,000 (equivalent to R$32,820 on the transaction date), changing the interest percentage from 23.44% to 27.15% and thus holding 9,808,530 shares, which generated a goodwill of R$22,553. On June 24, 2021, the associate Spinnova concluded its IPO (“Initial Public Offering – IPO”) on the Nasdaq First North Growth Market (“NFNGM”), with the issuance of 13,140,605 shares and raising EUR100,000 (equivalent to R$587,560 on the transaction date). The Spinnova's shares are traded under the ticker SPINN and are renamed as Spinnova Plc (“Public Company Limited”) (previously called as Spinnova Oy (Oy is the equivalent of a limited company in Finland)). The NFNGM is Nasdaq’s nordic growth market, designed for small and growing companies, according to the guidelines of the capital market as implemented in the national legislation of Denmark, Finland and Sweden and operate by an exchange within the Nasdaq Group. Companies listed on NFNGM are subject do less extensive rules than companies listed on a regulated market, such as the Helsinki Stock Exchange. As a result of the issuance of shares, the percentage of ownership held by Suzano in relation to the investment in Spinnova decreased from 27.15% to 19.91%. The effects of Spinnova's capitalization arising from the IPO, generated the dilution of interest, and consequent gain on the remeasurement of the investment in the amount of EUR19,495 (equivalent to R$115,562 on the transaction date) excluding goodwill, arising from the difference between the investment before the IPO in the amount of EUR1,541 (equivalent to R$9,134 on the transaction date) and investment after IPO in the amount of EUR21,037 (equivalent to R$124,696 on June 30, 2021), according to the new interest percentage. The gain was recorded as a debit under investments against income from associates and joint ventures, considering that investment was already recognized by the equity method, as an associate, which remained after the effect of dilution, in view of the assessment made by the Management, in accordance with the requirements of IAS 28 - Investment in associates and joint ventures, from its significant influence on the governance and management of the associate, which has not had significant changes due to the IPO process. As part of the transaction, the Company proportionally realized the goodwill in the amount of R$24,569, being a credit recorded in the investments against the loss from associates and joint ventures and the effect of exchange rate variation on Spinnova's investment abroad in the amount of R$746, being recorded as a debit under the heading of realization of comprehensive income, in the group of other comprehensive income, against to income from associates and joint ventures statement. As a result of the events described above, the Company recorded a gain of R$90,992 in in the statement of income for the period.
