Climate change may seem like something distant from our lives and unrelated to our personal choices, right? But does this great challenge for humanity really have nothing to do with your daily life? In reality, yes, there is and Grupo Botic\u00e1rio is already helping you do your part.<\/p>\n

Remember that saying \u201cyou are what you eat?\u201d So, we are what we eat, what we wear, what we talk, what we dream and also what we consume. It seems confusing, but we explain. The products we buy say a lot about us and also about the companies that produced them. We, at Grupo Botic\u00e1rio, understood very early on that our business could generate positive or negative impacts on society: the choice of which side we would adopt was completely ours.<\/p>\n

Therefore, in 1990, we started investing 1% of our Net Revenue in environmental actions and created the Grupo Botic\u00e1rio Nature Protection Foundation. In 26 years of operation, our foundation has supported 1500 projects throughout Brazil, acquired two private natural heritage reserves and started to work on the Brazilian climate agenda.<\/p>\n
