And that&rsquo;s not all: Vallourec&rsquo;s 164,400 hectares of land also constitute a formidable reserve of biodiversity. Flora, fauna, engagement with local communities: Andr&eacute; Dezanet, General Manager of the Forestry unit, explains the work he and his team are doing. He discusses their efforts to develop, protect and foster this invaluable asset, and how it is contributing to Vallourec&rsquo;s environmental strategy.<\/strong>\n<br>\n<br>\nThe Forestry unit of Vallourec in Brazil currently produces roughly 260 kt of charcoal every year, most of which is used by the VSB blast furnace to produce pig iron.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4894967 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"4894967\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e7d5213 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"e7d5213\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0761656 elementor-widget elementor-widget-testimonial\" data-id=\"0761656\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"testimonial.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"testimonial w-full md:mt-[79px] md:mb-[44px] my-0 relative\">\n  <div class=\"md:block hidden absolute right-0 -top-[79px] custom-padding-right\"><svg width=\"146\" height=\"146\" viewBox=\"0 0 146 146\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n    <path d=\"M125.143 72.2502H84.1787V11.1787H145.25V73.0002C145.25 106.84 117.924 134.414 84.1787 134.817V115.458C107.249 115.056 125.893 96.1647 125.893 73.0002V72.2502H125.143Z\"\n        stroke=\"#009EE0\" stroke-width=\"1.5\" \/>\n    <path d=\"M41.7142 72.2502H0.75V11.1787H61.8215V73.0002C61.8215 106.84 34.4956 134.414 0.75 134.817V115.458C23.8204 115.056 42.4642 96.1647 42.4642 73.0002V72.2502H41.7142Z\"\n        stroke=\"#009EE0\" stroke-width=\"1.5\" \/>\n<\/svg>\n<\/div>\n            <picture class=\"block h-[314px] md:h-[442px] mx-auto md:mx-none w-full max-w-[280px] md:w-[295px] md:-top-[77px] rounded-lg relative md:absolute shadow shadow-1 overflow-hidden\">\n        <source srcset=\"\" media=\"(max-width: 768px)\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/brazil.vallourec.com\/app\/uploads\/2023\/09\/andre-dezanet.jpg\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"w-full h-auto min-w-full min-h-full object-cover select-none pointer-events-none\">\n      <\/picture>\n        <div class=\"relative -z-10 flex flex-col min-h-[321px] md:pt-[55px] md:custom-padding-right p-4 md:pl-[109px] md:ml-[234px] md:mt-0 mt-12 rounded-lg md:rounded-none bg-blue-secondary-200\">\n    <div class=\"block md:hidden absolute right-0 -top-[30px]\"><svg width=\"50\" height=\"50\" viewBox=\"0 0 50 50\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n<path d=\"M42.857 24.2501H29.3213V4.32153H49.2499V25.0001C49.2499 36.1513 40.3775 45.2692 29.3213 45.6653V40.0174C37.2654 39.6253 43.607 33.0399 43.607 25.0001V24.2501H42.857Z\" stroke=\"#009EE0\" stroke-width=\"1.5\"\/>\n<path d=\"M14.2857 24.2499H0.75V4.32129H20.6786V24.9999C20.6786 36.1511 11.8062 45.269 0.75 45.6651V40.0171C8.69411 39.6251 15.0357 33.0396 15.0357 24.9999V24.2499H14.2857Z\" stroke=\"#009EE0\" stroke-width=\"1.5\"\/>\n<\/svg>\n<\/div>\n    <div class=\"pb-[24px] text-blue-secondary-800 italic leading-[40px] flex flex-col justify-center flex-1\">This work is at the heart of Vallourec&rsquo;s sustainability strategy and crucial to helping it achieve greenhouse gas targets<\/div>\n    <div class=\"pb-[28px] flex flex-col\">\n      <div class=\"title-h6\">Andr&#233;
