ABOUT IT

In 2021, Amcham developed the #BPMA to share best business practices for environmental preservation in Brazil. Throughout the year, 125 projects were gathered from 74 companies, involving investments of around BRL 12 billion. The initiative was well accepted by Amcham members and was used to support advocacy actions with representatives of the Brazilian and US government on the subject. 

In 2022, Amcham held the second edition of #BPMA, with the aim of expanding environmental advocacy actions. The second edition of #BPMA brought together the successful cases that the Brazilian private sector has developed, seeking ever more ambitious results. 
 

In 2023, in order to ensure its position in favor of a more ambitious role for Brazil on the international stage, Amcham took environmental initiatives to COP 28 in Dubai, carrying out a panel of companies to present BPMA cases and the platform was made available in the Brazil Pavilion for everyone to access. The platform achieved a record number of participating projects and companies, as well as the highest amount of funds mobilized for environmental projects. 

#BPMA 2024, in its 4th edition, to demonstrate the leading role of the Brazilian private sector in the world's largest meeting on climate change, at COP 29 in Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan, present an overview of the results of the projects registered with BPMA. This will promote new environmental advocacy actions by the private sector, especially with the aim of increasing the priority given to the environmental agenda, as well as better positioning Brazil on the international stage, with a view to COP 30 in Belém do Pará, Brazil.
