ABOUT US

Origens Brasil® is a network that promotes ethical business that valorizes forest peoples and the living Amazon.

We are a diverse network formed by Indigenous peoples, traditional populations, support institutions, community organizations and companies.

We promote a new way of doing business in the Amazon by connecting companies and producers in Indigenous territories and conservation units through ethical commercial relationships based on transparency, a guarantee of origin, and traceability.

When buying products from these commercial relations, you contribute to valorizing the living Amazon and its peoples. Through a seal in the form of a QR code, it is possible to discover the stories of each product, including its origin, ultimately facilitating a greater proximity and connection between producers and consumers.

Watch the video and learn how the Origens Brasil® network operates to conserve the living Amazon and the valorization of the guardians of the forest.

GUARANTEE OF ORIGEN AND TRACEABILITY

Knowing the social and environmental origin of each product, which territory it comes from, its production mode and who produced it is a way of valorizing the standing forest and its guardians. Everyone can access this information by scanning the QR code on the product or by accessing the Origens Brasil® product page.

COLLABORATIVE NETWORK

We operate as a network with diverse people serving complementary functions. This is our greatest strength. Traditional populations, support institutions, community organizations and companies participate together in a shared, decentralized governance space, with mutual discussion and collaboration as the base of all our decision-making. We value the potential of diversity as the foundation for facing complex problems, such as the protection and valorization of the standing forest.

Our governance model facilitates the participation of all members in various instances, including the territorial committee, the company committee, the management council and the administrator council.
