On June 16, CEBDS (Brazilian Business Council for Sustainable Development) hosted a meeting between CEOs of major companies and Finance Minister Fernando Haddad. The meeting aimed to discuss priority points related to the Ecological Transition Plan, the federal government's "Green Package," which the manufacturing sector sees as a tool with the potential to direct important and necessary infrastructure investments in the country toward the transition to a green economy.
The CEOs present represent companies from sectors such as law, energy, forestry, water and tires.
At the meeting, the minister received a Letter in which the productive sector highlights priority areas for the Green Package, such as bioeconomy, energy, the Amazon, economic incentives, the carbon market, and basic sanitation. The document emphasizes the urgency of investing in these areas, highlighting the window of opportunity provided by the G20 summit in Rio de Janeiro in 2024 and the UN Climate Conference, COP30, in Belém in 2025. "These are opportunities for Brazil to strengthen its global leadership. Therefore, it is essential to act now to deliver results, seize these opportunities, and exercise its leading role."
At the meeting, the business sector also highlighted its commitment to collaborating with the government in advancing agendas linked to sustainable development.
