The Navigator Company

The Navigator Company is an integrated producer of forest, pulp and paper, tissue and energy, whose activity is based on state-of-the-art technology, as well as on a firm commitment to innovation and research, and to the quest for sustainable solutions. The third largest exporter in Portugal and the main generator of National Added Value, it represents approximately 1% of national GDP, about 3% of national exports, and more than 30,000 direct, indirect and induced jobs. In addition to the business vision, it is the people, their quality of life and the future of the planet that inspire and move the Company. Navigator wants to share with society not only its results, but also its knowledge, skills, and resources in the pursuit of a better future. Navigator formally committed to achieving the carbon neutrality of its industrial complexes in 2035, anticipating the targets set by the EU and Portugal in 15 years. It thus became the first Portuguese company, and one of the first in the world, to define this ambitious goal, for which it allocated a total investment of €158 million.
