IAM
The Mission of
IAMazonia
Identify, develop and manage projects that, by improving both living conditions of local communities and existing ecosystems, and by enhancing renewable natural resources of the territory, contribute —today and forever, through certified and monitored methodologies— to neutralize the effects and remove the causes of the ongoing climate change process, while creating a productive economic system capable of enduring throughout time ("perpetual").
Partnership & people involved
One of the pillars of the Mejuruà project and the IAM model is represented by the open architecture, i.e., the partnerships that IAM has deemed and considers necessary to strengthen the long-term sustainability of the project and ensure best practices in every aspect of the Project.
1. Partnerships with local political, economic and social institutions
the Amazonia State Government, the municipality of Caruari, labor organizations, the açaí farmers' cooperative, others to be defined; The active and convinced involvement of local institutions in the project is a key element for its sustainability. On the one hand, it is in fact a matter of “preemptively occupying” all spaces for potential challenges from institutions in the area that could generate doubts to third parties about the quality of the project. On the other hand, being able to share the objectives of the project as much as possible with those of institutions in the area fosters an alignment of the interests of all stakeholders and a process of institutionalization of the project in the target area.
2. Partnerships with economic and social actors specializing in project activities, including
- SMTP (sawmill and biomass power plant)
- FSC (Sustainable Forest Management)
- The Earth Day (study on IAM intervention model)
- Banca Intesa San Paolo (senior bond)
- PWC (industrial plan, market analysis)
- Pineiro Neto (legal Due Diligence)
