Native Tree Planting & Community Reforestation

Kymera International is proud to support long-term environmental restoration efforts in Barbacena, Brazil, through an ongoing partnership with the Municipality of Barbacena.

In August 2022, Kymera partnered with the municipality to help structure and implement a nursery at the Municipal Forest Garden, known locally as Horto Florestal, dedicated to the production of native tree seedlings. The initiative was designed to support ecosystem preservation, expand local green areas, aid in the recovery of water springs, and protect regional biodiversity.

Since its launch, the project has also served as an important environmental education resource for the community, engaging students and local participants through educational programs, lectures, workshops, and hands-on activities. Individuals and institutions receiving seedlings are also provided with technical guidance and training to help ensure proper planting practices and long-term impact.

As part of this initiative, 1,000 native seedlings were planted in December 2023, followed by an additional 1,000 native seedlings planted in February 2026 — further expanding the project’s positive environmental footprint.

Through continued collaboration between public and private partners, Kymera is helping demonstrate how sustainable development can be advanced through measurable action, education, and long-term community engagement.

Each tree planted represents an investment in a greener, more resilient future for Barbacena.

Employee-Led
Commitment to Sustainability

Sustainability at Kymera International is a shared responsibility — one shaped by the everyday actions, ideas, and commitment of employees across our global organization.

Through our Global Sustainability Challenge, cross-functional teams work together to identify opportunities that reduce environmental impact, improve operational efficiency, and create a pipeline of sustainability-focused improvement projects. These employee-generated ideas help advance practical solutions across our sites, from energy efficiency and waste reduction to emissions reduction and process improvements.

One current challenge-generated initiative is focused on reducing total carbon emissions by 3,000 metric tons, reinforcing the important role employees play in helping Kymera achieve measurable progress.

Our commitment also extends beyond our own operations. Through our responsible sourcing program, we work to engage suppliers in support of Kymera’s sustainability values and align goals across the manufacturing value chain. This approach helps strengthen supplier collaboration while promoting responsible practices throughout the broader network that supports our business.

By combining employee engagement, operational improvements, and responsible sourcing, Kymera continues to build a culture where sustainability is integrated into how we work, make decisions, and create long-term value.
