Timeline
In order to understand where we stand today and prepare for the future, we must first comprehend how we got here. We have traced our history and highlighted the main milestones in the relationship between the environment and the Brazilian economy since the 19th century.
Emerging vision
In addition to mitigating the negative environmental impacts generated by economic activity, the emerging view is moving towards integrating positive environmental impact into businesses, making it strategic and fundamental for corporate sustainability.
Challenges
Despite all the wealth produced in our country, there are still challenges that require more efficient action, both from private and public initiatives, such as: climate change; deforestation and forest degradation; unregulated occupation of land; and insufficient basic sanitation.
Green markets and opportunity matrix
Within the green economy, there are market trends that could gain a lot of ground in Brazil. The world today presents business opportunities in the fields of bioeconomy, environmental asset markets, product traceability and regenerative businesses.
Regenerative future
Our future as humanity depends on a new economic model oriented towards the regeneration and rehabilitation of the planet. The integration of sustainability in private initiatives, mainly based on ESG criteria, is a major advance in recent years, but this is only the tip of the iceberg.
