Em outubro de 2019, a UNICA, União da Industria da Cana-de-Açúcar, atualmente denominada “UNICA – União da Agroindústria Canavieira e de Bioenergia do Brasil”, submeteu sua solicitação de adesão à Rede Brasil do Pacto Global, sendo que, em janeiro de 2020, com grande entusiasmo, recebeu a notícia da sua efetiva adesão ao mesmo. Dois anos se passaram desde então, com muitos desafios, especialmente com o cenário de pandemia, e muitas ações foram realizadas.

In October 2019, UNICA, União da Industria da Cana-de-Açúcar, currently called “UNICA – União da Agroindústria Canavieira e de Bioenergia do Brasil”, submitted its application to join the Brazil Network of the Global Compact, and, in January 2020, with great enthusiasm, received the news of its effective adhesion to the instrument.

Ethanol blends such as E10 and E20 dramatically reduce the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from automotive and motorcycle fleets.

By 2030 the EU aims to reduce CO2 by 55%, with the objective of keeping global warming well below two degrees. To achieve these targets, the European Commission has opened a public consultation on its Renewable Energy Directive, as foreseen by the European Green Deal.

The United Kingdom left the European Union on 31 January 2020 and is developing its independent trade strategy for the first time in nearly fifty years as it prepares to exit the EU’s customs union. Within this context, the British government announced the introduction of a new zero tariff, the Autonomous Tariff Quota (ATQ), for imported raw sugar as of 1 January 2021

UNICA, the Brazilian sugarcane association, welcomes the revision of the Renewables Directive and appreciates the opportunity to contribute. In order to meet the EU’s ambition of reaching climate neu-trality by 2050, enormous effort and support will be required both immediately and in the long term.

Good morning. My name is Leticia Phillips, and I am the North American Representative for UNICA, the Brazilian Sugarcane Industry Association. We are the leading trade association for the sugarcane industry in Brazil, representing 60 percent of the country’s sugarcane production and processing.

On behalf of the Brazilian Sugarcane Industry Association (UNICA), I would like to thank the European Commission for the opportunity to provide comments on the draft delegated act supplementing Directive (EU) 2018/2001
