IBÁ 10 ANOS_177

The Brazilian Tree Industry (Ibá) acts strategically to represent and defend the institutional and commercial interests of the sector that plants trees for industrial purposes and restoration, in Brazil as well as abroad. 

It works to foster growth and competitiveness in this production chain, with guidelines focusing on sustainability and combating climate change, incentives to implement infrastructures that support development, promotion of products from this sector, and defending access to new markets. 

Ibá works to promote appropriate institutional and business environments with the executive, legislative and judicial branches of the government, public prosecutors, as well as regulatory agencies, institutes, non-governmental organizations, confederations and trade associations. Creating partnerships, building win-win relationships, and dialoguing with diversity is the Ibá way.
