The forestry company CMPC stood out at COP30 through its participation in key panels and bilateral meetings, reaffirming its commitment to sustainable forest management and the bioeconomy.

During the Conference of the Parties (COP30) held in Belém, Brazil, Francisco Ruiz-Tagle, general manager of CMPC, played a leading role by participating in fundamental discussions on forest management and its relationship with climate change. The summit, which brought together world leaders and climate action experts, served as a platform for CMPC to present its advances and address the challenges of the forestry industry in the global context.

Ruiz-Tagle participated in the main panel "Linking the Action Agendas from COP16 to COP30: Strengthening Synergies between Land, Climate, and Nature," sharing the stage with the presidents of COP16 and COP30. Additionally, he held a bilateral meeting with Dan Ioschpe, Champion of COP30, where they discussed progress in carbon and the bioeconomy, key areas for the sustainability of the sector.

CMPC's presence was not limited to high-level panels; it also participated in talks on sustainable construction and forest policies at the Australian pavilion, as well as debates on the importance of forest removals at the Finnish pavilion. These activities underscore the importance of the forestry industry in the fight against climate change and the transition to a low-carbon economy.

Within the framework of COP30, Ruiz-Tagle also attended a private dinner with prominent figures in the climate and environmental fields, demonstrating CMPC's relevance in the international dialogue on sustainability. The company, with a strong presence in the Brazilian market, continues to expand its operations with the Natureza project, which will include a new pulp mill and represents a significant investment in the region.

CMPC's participation in COP30 reflects its commitment to climate action and its active role in promoting sustainable practices in the forestry industry. With initiatives like these, the company not only positions itself as a leader in its sector but also contributes to the global effort for a greener and more sustainable future.
