Company Overview

Cosan S.A. is a Brazil-based holding company operating across the energy, logistics, fuel distribution, lubricants, natural gas, and infrastructure sectors. Listed on the B3 exchange and traded in the United States through ADRs under the ticker CSAN, the company has evolved from a sugar and ethanol producer into one of Brazil’s largest diversified infrastructure and energy groups. Its operations are concentrated primarily in the Brazilian market, with international exposure through trading activities, lubricants, and logistics investments. Cosan’s major revenue drivers include fuel distribution, ethanol and sugar production, natural gas distribution, lubricants, logistics concessions, and rail transportation.

The company’s principal businesses include stakes in Raízen, Compass Gás & Energia, Rumo, Moove, and other infrastructure-related investments. Raízen, a joint venture with Shell, is among the world’s largest sugar and ethanol producers and a major fuel distributor in Brazil. Rumo operates one of Latin America’s largest rail logistics networks focused on agricultural commodities. Cosan’s strategic positioning is tied to Brazil’s role as a global agricultural and biofuels exporter, its integrated logistics network, and its exposure to energy transition themes through ethanol, biomethane, and renewable energy initiatives. Founded in 1936 as a family-owned sugar mill operation in São Paulo state, the company expanded aggressively through acquisitions, infrastructure investments, and strategic partnerships over several decades.
