While celebrating the first five years of a successful and innovative partnership, a Technical Cooperation with Votorantim Cimentos and the Brazilian Speleological Society. It is under the umbrella of this partnership that a new instrument was developed, aimed at the conservation and sustainable use of the natural and cultural heritage within properties of land-based companies: The Sustainable Land Management Plan – SLMP, whose conceptual basis and methodological framework are described in this book.
As it seeks to reduce environmental liabilities and risks and costs associated with them, the SLMP also targets the identification, conservation and sustainable use of environmental assets – often overlooked in the management of private areas – seeking to generate benefits for businesses, neighboring communities and society in general.
In this regard, the Environmental Assets program and the SLMP propose a new look at conservation-development relationships, in which the environment presents itself not as an obstacle to production, but rather as a real opportunity to promote economic growth, with sustainability and social responsibility.
