National Sugarcane Harvest Officially Open

The ETH Bioenergia Santa Luzia Unit, loca-

ted in Mato Grosso do Sul, served as stage to

the opening of the Brazilian bioenergy sector’s

2011/2012 national sugarcane harvest.

The event was held by the company with

the support of the Mato Grosso do Sul State

Government, the National Sugar-Energy Sector,

Mato Grosso do Sul Bioenergy Producers’

Association (BIOSUL) and the Sugarcane Industry

Union (UNICA), and involved the presence of the

sector’s main leaders.

UNICA estimates that the milling in the Central-

South region for the new harvest will reach 568.5

million tons - a 2.11% growth with relation to the

total amount processed during the last harvest

- and that the ethanol and sugar production will

increase slightly, for a total of 25,507 million liters

and 34,580 tons, respectively.

Perolândia, in Goiás.

Each agro-industrial unit, which has the capacity to mill

3.8 million tons of sugarcane per harvest, received invest-

ments of R$ 1 billion and will generate 1,500 direct and

3,000 indirect job opportunities.

With a total investment of R$ 7.3 billion, ETH aims to

become the leader in bioenergy by 2012, with a production

of 3 billion liters of ethanol and 2,700 GWh/year of electric

energy produced from sugarcane.

The company has four production poles located the

states of São Paulo, Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul and

The 18th edition of the Braskem Theater

Award - the biggest award for local theater

and one of the most important in the coun-

try - took place on April 13 at the Castro

Alves Theater in Salvador.

With the theme “The Bahia Actor on the

Screen,” the 2011 edition highlighted the

actors who left Bahia stages to grace natio-

nal television and movie screens. According

to the Ceremony Director, Luiz Marfuz, the

theme was chosen due to the recognition of

theater professionals from the state since the

1950s, such as Harildo Déda, Wilson Mello

and recently, Lázaro Ramos, Vladmir Brichta,

Fábio Lago and Wagner Moura, among

others.

With the support of the Municipal

the company plans to train 600

workers over the upcoming months,

including bricklayers, carpen-

ters, assemblers and assistants.

Over 2,000 people signed up to

participate in the program.

OVER 800 TRAINED ON THE

CARAJÁS RAILROAD

In the municipality of

Açailândia, in Maranhão,

Odebrecht Infraestrutura is cur-

rently expanding the Carajás

Railroad, which connects

Parauapebas, in Pará, to São

Luís, in Maranhão.

From the start of the Acreditar

program - first undertaken in

the cities of Santa Rita, Bom

Jesus das Selvas and Açailândia

- in November of last year, the

company received over 3,200

new registrations and has alrea-

dy qualified 886 workers.

On April 14, 356 students from

Açailândia received their conclu-

sion certificates, and should like-

ly be hired during the months of

May and June of this year.

However, the first Acreditar groups began their classes

in November 2010.

The partnership between Odebrecht, Braskem, the

National Industrial Learning Service (SENAI), the State

Government and Municipal Government will prepare

640 workers for construction jobs at the new industrial

unit. Over 1,060 people from the region signed up and

those selected can choose between the training cour-

ses for the professions of carpenter, hardware assem-

bler, electrician, assembler and adjustment mechanic,

industrial plumber, boilermaker welder and welder.

“The program reinforces the importance Odebrecht

gives to training people in the communities in which

it operates and leaves a legacy to the residents,” said

José Carlos Aversa, Contract Director.

The presence of several women in the courses has

surprised the program’s coordination team and even

the participants themselves. “In the two first carpen-

try groups, which began in November of last

year, 86% of the students who signed up were

women,” said Ana Carolina Alves, Acreditar

Coordinator at the PVC Plant.

From Monday through Friday, Sandra

Márcia, age 30, dedicates four hours per day

to the Assembler Electrician course classes.

“I am loving it and I hope to soon be able to

help increase the family’s earnings,” said the

resident of the Poeiras neighborhood, located

in the periphery of Marechal Deodoro. Of the

18 students in Sandra’s class, 13 are women.

“This shows that many professions are no lon-

ger ‘exclusively’ for men,” said Alves.

Homemaker Rosângela Santos da Silva

closed the snack stand she ran in downtown

Marechal Deodoro to sign up for Acreditar.

She chose carpentry because she believes

that it will bring good work opportunities

after the end of the unit construction work.

“I want to have a profession and a job with

benefits,” said Silva. “My life has begun to

change,” she said.

Federal Government’s social programs, such as the Family Stipend.

A total of R$ 17.2 million have been invested in the program and 24,900 participants have

been contracted to work on 16 Odebrecht Organization projects. Acreditar is currently being

On April 14, the CONPAR Consortium, for-

med by Odebrecht Engenharia Industrial,

UTC Engenharia and OAS, re-inaugurated the

Califórnia Municipal Children’s Education Center

(CMEI) in the city of Araucária in Paraná after the

revitalization projects.

The action, the result of the consortium’s par-

tnership with the Jardim Califórnia Children’s

Full Assistance Center, an entity tied to the

Municipal Government, included the remo-

deling of the children’s park, the construction

of a lactarium - for the production of milk for

children in the breastfeeding phase - and impro-

vements in the school’s electrical network. The

initiative included repairs of the loose flooring,

cleaning of the awnings, replacement of broken

windows, painting of the indoor area, remode-

ling of the cafeteria and installation of a new

clothes washing machine. The institution also

received donations of new awnings, an indus-

trial four-burner stove and two play houses.

employees of the teaching institution paid tri-

bute to the members of the consortium, who

distributed gifts to the students after the ope-

ning of the park.

The Municipal Secretary of Education, Maria

José Dietrich, emphasized CMEI’s importance

for the local community - the school is the lar-

gest in Araucária and currently has 230 children

ages 1-4. “We have worked hard to increase the

CMEIs, and that is why we need partners like the

CONPAR Consortium,” said Dietrich.

OTHER INITIATIVES

The partnership between the consor-

tium and CAIC has resulted in several other

actions, such as the installation of a “Hit the

Net” Program classroom, the holding of the

“Cook Brazil” event and the distribution of

gifts for children on festive dates.

“Our construction project at the

Presidente Getúlio Vargas Refinery (REPAR)

is currently in the conclusive phase, but as

long as we are in Araucária, we will continue

undertaking Social Responsibility actions.

“We hope that these initiatives encoura-

ge other companies to contribute toward

the development of the communities,” said

Antônio Costa, Contract Director.

During the event, participants learned the

guidelines for the area, debated topics such as

own lecture agendas for the first time, allowing

them to become immersed in topics of pro-

fessional interest to each. Companies such as

Oracle, Microsoft, HP and Dell presented unique

solutions recently-launched onto the market, in

addition to opening the floor for discussions.

André Amaro, the individual responsible

IT Members’ role when it comes to supporting

The access viaduct to the District of

Sousas, at the km 125+800 of Highway Dom

Pedro I (SP-065), in the region of Campinas,

was inaugurated by the Governor of São

Paulo, Geraldo Alckmin, on April 20.

The viaduct was delivered to users after

a year of construction work undertaken

by the Rota das Bandeiras Concessionaire,

which completed it 45 days before sche-

dule. The access way will benefit 35,000

residents from the districts of Sousas and

Joaquim Egídio.

day, the new viaduct reduces the course of

the Campinas urban perimeter by 5 km for

those who commute along the Southern

lane of SP-065 (in the direction of Jacareí).

in the construction of the viaduct, which is

part of the concessionaire’s investment plan

until 2015. According to the concession, R$

2.3 billion will be invested in modernization

projects and in improving the 297 km of the

Dom Pedro Corridor.
