Partnership with BNDES to generate large-scale positive social and environmental impacts

On November 10, at the 26th United Nations Climate Change Conference, COP26, Vale, through Fundo Vale, joined the Living Forest Initiative, launched by Brazil’s national development bank, BNDES. The goal is to reforest between 16,000 and 33,000 hectares with native species and biodiversity in the next seven years. To achieve this, financial support will be given to reforestation projects involving native species and agroforestry systems in several Brazilian biomes. Fundo Vale already has expertise in this area due to its Voluntary Forest Commitment.

“Impact Carbon” proposal, from philanthropy to venture capital

This unique, innovative and audacious project created by Fundo Vale to help achieve Vale’s 2030 Forest Goal was the subject of an article published at the end of October by Capital Reset. This strategy combines financial returns with positive social and environmental impacts, in a virtuous environmental, social and economic cycle that is unparalleled in Brazil. The aim is to restore 100,000 hectares of degraded areas by investing in impact businesses involving productive restoration models.

FIIMP2: Publication about social and environmental impact investments and businesses

Between 2017 and 2020, Fundo Vale took part in several discussions and other activities carried out by Impact Foundations and Institutes (FIIMP). The experience gained in the last two years is set out in a new publication called “A New Learning Journey in Social and Environmental Impact Investments and Businesses.” The report describes the formation of FIIMP2, which was focused on deepening connections with the ecosystem’s dynamic agents – organizations that support positive impact businesses – in order to systematically record the group’s experience between 2018 and 2020. It is hoped that the report will help and inspire other institutes, foundations and companies on this path.
