Message
from Our Leadership

Atvos made important strides in the 2021/2022 crop year. We expanded our operations—resuming investments in our mills and new sugarcane plantations—and we laid the foundation to become more efficient, sustainable and competitive in producing clean energy from sugarcane.

Internally, we began an effort to restructure our company with the approval of a new Business Plan outlining four pillars that will guide our activities over the coming years: Agricultural Productivity, Cost Efficiency, Organizational Alignment and Business Sustainability. Together with our recently approved Agricultural and Industrial Master Plan, these pillars lay out a blueprint for a more sustainable future for our business, underpinned by a solid governance foundation.

Atvos is experiencing a period of transformation and growth. We are grateful for the daily dedication of our team members, suppliers, partners and all of those who are helping us to build our future. We invite you to learn about our challenges and successes in the 2021/2022 crop year in this Annual Report.
