Cosan (BM&F Bovespa:CSAN3 / Nyse - CZZ) is a public company, a Brazilian conglomerate producer of bioethanol, sugar and energy.

Cosan began in 1936 in Piracicaba city in State of São Paulo, with the founding of its first factory for milling of sugar cane. From the second half of the 1980s, it quickly expanded operations through the acquisition of several factories in the State of São Paulo. Cosan cultivates, collects and processes sugar cane, the main raw material used in the production of sugar and ethanol. About 5% of all sugar and 4% of all ethanol consumed worldwide originates in Cosan sugar mills. Its 23 plants occupy almost 600,000 hectares of land and employ 45,000 people. The company owns the two largest brands of sugar in Brazil, União and Barra.
