The Brazilian Emissions Trading System (SBC), approved on December 11, 2024, is a milestone in the New Brazil - Ecological Transformation Plan. Inspired by successful international experiences, it establishes a greenhouse gas emissions cap - which will decrease each year - in large economic sectors. Companies that exceed this limit will be able to trade allowances or invest in offset projects, such as reforestation.
This model guarantees a gradual reduction in emissions, encouraging innovation and improvement in production processes. The ultimate goal is to become carbon neutral by 2050, in line with Brazil's commitment to addressing climate change.

With the new system, carbon credits become tradable securities, boosting a dynamic market and creating sustainable investment opportunities. Brazil is consolidating its position as a leader in the transition to a low carbon economy, attracting green investments and strengthening its global competitiveness.
In addition, the system creates skilled jobs in strategic sectors such as biotechnology, renewable energies and forest restoration, promoting sustainable economic growth.
