Forest as a business
Within our management model, we seek to evaluate the wealth of biodiversity within our managed reserves to outline the best strategies that combine forest conservation with revenue generation and shared value creation.
Native Plants Production
We have the objective of taking the native forest back to urban centers. To achieve this, we rely on the Biodiversity Centers of the reserves we manage, with a production capacity of 400,000 plants per year. Production of species from the Atlantic Forest and Cerrado focuses on landscaping and reforestation. We seek to reconnect people to nature, contributing to mitigating climate change and reducing the risks of biodiversity loss. In addition, we are also committed to the relationship between carbon and biodiversity. At Legado das Águas and Legado Verdes do Cerrado, we added 63 thousand hectares of preserved native forest, sequestering 20 million tons of carbon.
Biotechnology
In our business model, we map the wealth of biodiversity of the reserves we manage through scientific research, and, combined with biotechnology, we identify the potential of the forest to generate active ingredients for medicines, fragrances, and flavors for cosmetics and food industries.
Scientific Research
We understand that conservation is made possible as the value of the forest is increasingly perceived and guaranteed in the long term. Therefore, we aim to promote scientific research in the reserves we manage since it is the key evaluatingthe richness of local biodiversity and outlining conservation strategies, generating public knowledge for the whole society.
Governance
Integrating people,
business, and nature
Annually, we hold the Diálogos, the Encontro Técnico, and the Semear, events focused on sharing information with our stakeholders, as we believe in the importance of maintaining dialogue with civil society, the government, and our partners, to share the main results of our research, social projects and economic development carried out in the areas we operate.
Internally, divided among our companies, we have a team of more than 150 employees from multiple backgrounds, such as agronomists, administrators, lawyers, journalists, tourism professionals, biologists, among others, who form a multidisciplinary team capable of offering the best solutions in sustainability.
We also have a Supervisory Board whose objective is to identify, discuss and ensure the dissemination of the company’s values and principles, to define strategies, and make decisions that protect and enhance our organization, optimizing the return on investment in the long term and to seek a balance for stakeholder expectations.
