“2030
Voluntary Forest Commitment” Series
Interview 1 – Patrícia Daros and
Gustavo Luz
Based on a logic of sustainable impact investments and innovative
nature-based solutions, Fundo Vale is responsible for the strategy and
execution work behind Vale’s voluntary challenge of protecting and restoring
500,000 hectares of forest.
Fundo Vale is launching a series
of interviews to share stories and initiatives involving this bold voluntary
initiative. By embracing the challenge of protecting and restoring 500,000
hectares of forest by 2030, Vale, through Fundo Vale, presents a new large-scale
approach, contributing capital and investing in the social and environmental
impact business ecosystem with a view to earning returns and scaling up
solutions with positive results, not only for the environment, but for the
entire social and economic environment of each region.
In this first
conversation, Patrícia Daros and Gustavo Luz, Fundo Vale’s managers, explain how
an idea that originated in some scribbles on a napkin turned into a grandiose
large-scale project underpinned by the three principles of conservation,
combating deforestation in the Amazon and contributing to offsetting greenhouse
gas emissions, and led to the creation of five startups focused on restoring
forests.

Climate Change (UNFCCC). It was created to financially reward developing
