BrasilAgro develops concrete initiatives and invests in social and environmental projects and activities, fostering the development of the communities where it operates. In this harvest year, total investment in such initiatives exceeded R$ 440,000.00.

Between 2015 and 2019, through its Social Responsibility Committee, BrasilAgro has supported several initiatives targeted at education, sports and supporting the community. In its 5 years of operations, BrasilAgro has been committed to making possible and fostering the development of initiatives in socially vulnerable communities. Several initiatives have been developed, through which we were able to benefit thousands of people through different working groups.

In 2020, the Company took an important step towards social investment by creating the BrasilAgro Institute, developed to be the Company’s social arm and is geared towards transforming people’s future. The Institute’s mission is to “Foster and implement social initiatives that offer opportunities for responsible development of low-income and socially-vulnerable communities”.

Amigos do Bem supports communities in the Northeastern Sertão (hinterlands), through several education and sustainable projects whose target is to change people’s lives, providing basic goods for their survival as well as the possibility of employment through hand-crafted items and cashew planting. Over 60,000 people have been served in the states of Alagoas, Ceará and Pernambuco. BrasilAgro subsidizes an agricultural technician who is responsible for monitoring a team of recently trained workers and for regular overseeing them in order to ensure the adequate planting of cashew crops. Furthermore, the Company offers the support of its environmental team to help in irrigation projects, in obtaining environmental licenses and Rural Environmental Registration.

In 2019, Palmeiras S.A entered into an agreement with Escola Santa Teresita II, to remodel the school’s infrastructure for the benefit of attending students.
The agreement has directly benefited over 350 children and adolescents between ages 4 and 18, and indirectly, 300 families living in the local community as well as 21 teachers working at the school.

The program seeks to offer initiatives targeted at technical training and continuous education of education workers, to increase the democratic management of the institutions, ensuring the school community the right to actively participate in the education process. The school was built to meet the needs of the São Raimundo das Mangabeiras community to serve children and adolescents.
