SUSTAINABILITY
Oliveira Trust operates responsibly, with a genuine commitment to society, respect for human rights, social inclusion, and sustainable development. These principles are not peripheral: they are embedded in our strategy and operations.
Since 2019, the Group has measured and offset the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions generated by its activities. During this period, we have invested in reforestation projects in the Serra da Mantiqueira region, within the Atlantic Forest biome [Mata Atlântica — one of the world’s most biodiverse and threatened tropical forest ecosystems, located along Brazil’s Atlantic coast], in partnership with Iniciativa Verde (Green Initiative NGO) and the Amigos da Floresta (Friends of the Forest) project. Between 2020 and 2023, these initiatives resulted in the planting of more than 3,400 trees, significantly exceeding the volume required to offset our historical emissions, which totaled 587 metric tons of CO₂ over the period.
In 2024, we made structured progress: we implemented a GHG emissions inventory in compliance with the GHG Protocol framework, covering all three scopes of the methodology: direct emissions from operations (Scope 1), energy consumption (Scope 2), and indirect value chain emissions (Scope 3).
The offsetting of CO₂ metric tons generated during the fiscal year was carried out through the retirement of 389 carbon credits from the CGR Guatapará Landfill project, approved by the UNFCCC (United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change), the UN’s primary body for climate matters. The initiative captures methane gas from sanitary landfills and converts it into renewable electricity connected to the National Interconnected System [Sistema Interligado Nacional (SIN): Brazil’s integrated power grid, which transmits electricity across the country’s main regions].
The outcome was Oliveira Trust’s Carbon Neutral certification for fiscal year 2024, an achievement that reflects the same rigor and consistency we apply to our operations, now extended to our ESG journey.
Governance
The best governance practices are adopted at Oliveira Trust, ensuring transparency and equity in information, in order to contribute to decision-making processes.
The Group understands that the adoption of good corporate governance practices adds value to a company and contributes to its longevity. In particular, for OT, this fact is intrinsic to its activity, in which rules, controls and trust are the principal basis. Considering that, corporate governance practices adopted are in line with the best ones in the Brazilian market, in addition to complying with the rules of the Central Bank of Brazil and the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Policies and management mechanisms are constantly evolving to ensure its excellence, as well as the sustainable growth of the organization. Therefore, OT has a Compliance area, responsible for working with the internal areas, in order to ensure compliance with established guidelines, acting as an independent organizational unit, subordinate to the Executive Board.
All of this is supported by an active board of directors made up of 3 members.
