Bio Abundance Program
During the event, Concepta Ingredients is also presenting the Bio Abundance Program, which reinforces its commitment to Brazil’s forests. The initiative is built on five pillars: connecting people through a virtuous value chain between the richness of the forest and the market; keeping the forest standing; respecting the peoples and communities who inhabit it; encouraging the use of ingredients sourced from Brazilian biomes; and promoting socioeconomic inclusion and the reduction of social inequality. The Bio Abundance Program contributes to the indirect conservation of 578,000 hectares of native vegetation across the Amazon, Cerrado, Caatinga, and Atlantic Forest biomes, and involves approximately 6,000 families.
