The Ceará Export Processing Zone (ZPE Ceará) received, this Friday (28), the TCE Ceará Sustentável Seal. The award ceremony was held this Friday (28), at the headquarters of the State Court of Accounts (TCE-CE), and was attended by representatives of the bodies honored in the 2025 Edition.
This is the fifth consecutive year that the ZPE of Ceará has been awarded the seal that recognizes members of society, the jurisdictional entities, and civil servants who adhere to the TCE Ceará Sustainability Policy and invest in socio-environmental responsibility within their activities.
The seal was presented by the president of TCE-CE, Rholden Queiroz, to the Operations Director of ZPE Ceará, Michel Mourão, and to the Environment and Work Safety Manager, Ademar Filho.
“This award is the culmination of several of our efforts to better address aspects of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance). And, considering that ZPE Ceará was recently elected the best ZPE in the world, more than ever, we have to set a good example. It is an example made with attitudes and actions that may seem, at first, small, but which have a great effect,” highlighted Michel Mourão.
Recognition
The Ceará ZPE participates every year in the certification granted by the Court. This year, those registered to compete for the seal had to select one of the items from the Sustainable Logistics Plan (PLS), prepared according to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations (UN).
The chosen item was “Conscious Consumption: Reduction in the consumption of materials such as paper, water, and energy,” and the ZPE was recognized for the “Rational Use of Natural Resources and Public Goods – Electric Energy.”
According to the Environment and Work Safety Manager, Ademar Filho, ZPE Ceará has adopted more conscious actions focused on energy efficiency, aiming to reduce impacts and optimize processes.
“The adoption of measures such as energy rationalization and socio-environmental initiatives demonstrates not only compliance with institutional standards but also a future vision based on sustainability as a strategic axis,” stated the manager.
Ademar also emphasized that the fact of receiving the seal all these years proves the environmental maturity acquired by the Ceará ZPE over the years. “This seal strengthens the image of ZPE Ceará before society and the international market. We believe that development and environmental responsibility must go hand in hand,” concluded the manager.
