The origins of Conservation that Transforms: Community-based conservation in Brazil
The journey of the Conservation that Transforms program began in 2021 with the launch of Project Ybá, a pilot initiative supported by Dow’s Business Impact Fund in collaboration with Instituto Peabiru and The Nature Conservancy. Our first commercial partners Natura cosmetics brand and Univar Solutions played a crucial role in supporting Project Ybá, which was designed at its core to promote conservation, drive social development and create innovative business solutions.
As Project Ybá progressed, valuable insights and lessons emerged, prompting us to refine and enhance our approach to regional development—particularly in Breu Branco, where our operations include the production of silicon metal, a feedstock for silicone production. This evolution paved the way for the expansion of the initiative into what is now known as the Conservation that Transforms program. Supported on a global scale by Dow, the program has grown to become our company’s largest conservation endeavor.
Today, Conservation that Transforms stands out for its integrated approach—it not only addresses local community needs but also combines community development, nature conservation, biodiversity preservation and carbon mitigation. The program supports our broader sustainability strategies, exemplifying a new model for the responsible corporate stewardship of water and nature and collaborative environmental action.

Market opportunities
Consumers are becoming more environmentally conscious, and many consider sustainability in their buying decisions. By lowering GHG emissions and participating in value chain decarbonization earlier, businesses can attract more consumers, differentiate themselves from competitors, and help create supply chain security. By connecting consumer value with upstream investment, partnering companies can accelerate the pace of emissions reductions.
Competitive advantage as early movers
Based on the study “Scaling Products for a Net Zero World” realized by the World Economic Forum in partnership with the Boston Consulting Group, a significant supply-demand imbalance is expected for low-carbon products, with downstream companies facing scarcity risks as they pursue decarbonization. Early movers can secure supply and reduce costs, while upstream players have a major opportunity to meet growing demand by investing in green capacity. Strong signals of intent and long-term partnerships will be key to bridge this gap. Delayed action may result in missed opportunities and higher costs.2
Innovation and long-term growth
Sustainability and innovation are no longer separate topics. Companies that focus on GHG reduction often develop new technologies and processes that can lead to new offerings and benefits to delight consumers. By investing in sustainable practices, businesses can help to future-proof themselves in the shift towards a low-carbon economy.
