Social Responsibility
We are committed to building a legacy in the communities where we operate, generating socioeconomic opportunities, conserving biodiversity, and ensuring human rights.
To achieve this, we strive to generate sustainable value through social projects focused on community management and territorial vulnerability issues, structuring our initiatives around the strategic pillars of Women’s Empowerment, Education and Workforce Inclusion, and Promotion of the Bioeconomy. These pillars are aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), promoting positive impact in regions of direct influence.
