Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

Here, the differences come together for our best

Valuing plurality and encouraging inclusion are essential to reaffirm the potential of people, which in practice, represent our strong entrepreneurial culture.

Our differential is that we are capable of transform potential into power, and this is only possible due to plural teams that lives in an environment that values multiple identities, stories, trajectories and experiences. With this in mind, our recruitment and selection processes value diversity and, in byond that, we are strive to provide  leadership with an inclusive and representative shortlist.

At Cosan, we learn and improve every day on how to value different perspectives, and above all, create an environment where each person finds their place as a protagonist.

EXPLORE THE PLURAL POWERS

In 2021, a group of professionals from different teams across Cosan organically engaged in the theme of diversity. Thus was born Plural Powers. Supported by leadership, the initiative operates on four major fronts or affinity groups: Gender, Black People, LGBTQIAP+ and Generations & People with Disabilities.
