Amadeus Pulp Mill, Brazil

EKN is considering to reinsure* financing to the project.

The project comprises construction and operation of a mill with capacity to produce 540,000 tonnes of so-called dissolving pulp per year. The project involves supporting infrastructure for the mill and the raw material will be sourced from a total of 70,000 hectares of Eucalypt plantations certified under the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC).

Amadeus project has a preliminary classification as a category A-project. The key potential environmental and social and impacts of the pulp mill project relate to labour and working conditions; resource efficiency and pollution; community health and safety; and sustainable sourcing. Additional information on the social and environmental impacts are available in the following documents:
