Symbiosis Investimentos e Participações S.A is a vertically integrated forestry and genetic improvement company focused on the Atlantic Forest in Brazil. One of the pioneers in sustainable hardwood production in Brazil, Symbiosis now has over 1.4Kha of planted production and conservation forests.
Biomas is an impact company created in partnership between Banco Itaú, Rabobank, Santander Brasil, Marfrig Global Foods, Vale, and Suzano, with the goal of restoring and protecting 4 million hectares of native forests over 20 years across the Amazon, the Atlantic Forest, and the Cerrado. The company focuses on developing restoration projects that are economically sustainable and foster social development in their service area.
Samauma is an ecosystem of projects dedicated to sustainable development and the transformation of realities, working together with local communities to conserve the rainforest.
Since its founding, Samauma has partnered with FRAM Capital, BTG Pactual, MyCarbon and Mata Nativa BR to develop its first project in Acre State, with more than 148k hectares of native forest and which will directly impact more than 2.000 people.
Beyond carbon avoidance and forest conservation, Samauma also has a partnership with UNICEF to support the UNICEF Seal Program, which focus on improving social indicators in undeveloped municipalities, especially those related to access to water, sanitation and hygiene.
& the Reverte program, an initiative of Syngenta and Banco Itaú, the Reverte program provides long-term financing to Syngenta’s clients who seek to expand soy production over degraded pastureland in the Cerrado using regenerative agriculture practices, including integration with livestock production. This initiative is backed by Itaú as a financial partner and The Nature Conservancy, which developed its socio-environmental criteria. The fund aims to demonstrate the economic feasibility of restoring degraded pastures instead of opening new areas for cultivation, thereby avoiding deforestation.
