Good morning, good afternoon, good evening to everyone that is joining us for the session of the fourth quarter results of Suzano. It’s a great pleasure to be with you. Guys today is a very emotional day for me. As you know, yesterday, we announced the transition of Suzano’s role as a CEO, to be part of the Board of Directors, and to be on several committees. Of course, I’m very proud from the 11 years contribution that I have been delivering to the company and being part of the transformation of this company for the last 11 years. I’d like to start some issues.
First, to welcome Alberto Abreu, I think it’s a person that is going to have an important contribution to the company on the next coming years. I think and I recognize that he has the right skills to continue and the word is like that is continuing the transformation of Suzano. I’d likely as well to thank you the 20,000 people that is working every single day on Suzano to being transforming Suzano on a better company that is impacting the society. Of course, I would like to thank you the leaders and the management team, our Silevo that have been with me for the last many years and being part of this transformational journey that has been very positive to all stockholders.
