“Cosan History
Our journey began in Piracicaba, São Paulo State over 70 years ago, with the Costa Pinto sugar mill that now produces sugar and ethanol. Over the years, we have consistently grown, modernized our operations, made strategic acquisitions, and become one of the industry’s largest sugar-ethanol groups.
Non-stop growth has enabled diversification into key sectors for Brazil such as energy and infrastructure.
Looking forward, we have expanded our portfolio, which ranges from sugar and ethanol production, co-generation, fuel distribution, and production of base oils and lubricants, to a logistics system taking agricultural exports from the field to the Port of Santos on the São Paulo State coast. We also manage agricultural properties.
On every front, we have shown our ongoing commitment to good, responsible management practices and sustainable practices.”
