Our Progress

We are consolidating our organizational footprints for scopes 1, 2 & 3 with the Carbon Trust to determine our Green House Gas inventory baseline, to ultimately set and approve Science Based Targets in line with 1.5°C trajectory. (to be concluded in Q4/21).

We are supporting PlenaMata portal, through a partnership between Natura, MapBiomas and InfoAmazônia, which gathers data and indicators of deforestation and initiatives for the conservation and regeneration of Amazon biome.

The purpose of this portal is to engage governments, private sector, civil society organizations and local communities in support of the fight against deforestation and successful conservation and environmental regeneration initiatives (to be launched in Q3/21 at http://plenamata.eco).

We are part of the SBTN’s (Science Based Target Network) Corporate Engagement to apply the initial guidance on science-based targets for nature (to be concluded in Q3/22).

Our Progress

The development of the LCA (life Cycle Analysis) tool methodology that combines an integrated life cycle assessment of environmental impacts to measure and guide our choices will start in the 2Q21 and will be concluded in Q4/22.

We are committed to explore disruptive regenerative solutions that capture more carbon than its emission, conserve and restore biodiversity and ecosystems and generate quality of life through means that are just and inclusive for all.
