A Decade And Three Years Of Sustainable Partnership In Mato Grosso

For over 13 years, Atiaia Renováveis, part of the Cornélio Brennand Group and specialized in the generation and commercialization of renewable energies, has established a valuable partnership with the indigenous communities of Xingu and Xavante in Mato Grosso. This collaboration is part of the company’s ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) initiative, a core strategy aimed at going beyond mere sustainability, seeking to transform society as a whole.

Integrated Initiatives For Community Well-Being

The program for comprehensive care of indigenous components, named the Basic Environmental Program, started in 2008. This program resulted in the preparation of the ECI (Indigenous Component Study), which assessed the conditions and needs of indigenous peoples in the Xavante and Xingu indigenous lands. The results of this study, which were approved by both FUNAI and the indigenous communities, led to the implementation of a series of programs focusing on environmental, sociocultural, and economic aspects. Some of these include initiatives in management, social communication, social and economic development, ethno-environmental sustainability, territorial and environmental support and monitoring, infrastructure, and training in environmental recovery, promotion of food practices, health and environmental education, strengthening indigenous organizations, and cultural appreciation.

In each of these programs, Atiaia Renováveis seeks to bring its vision of being 100% renewable to life. For example, the PBA Management Program established an administrative and advisory committee composed of three chiefs from different regions of Xingu. This committee acquires training programs and serves as a support and communication point in their respective localities. The company also created a logo, called Yakã, to identify the actions carried out by the programs and increase visibility for the cause and commitment to sustainable transformation. Yakã, which means river in Guarani, underscores the relevance of this natural element to the lives of indigenous communities.

All actions we take have the authorization of both the indigenous peoples and FUNAI, as we seek to understand and meet the needs of this community while always respecting their values, culture, and traditions.”

About Atiaia Renováveis

While in Brazil a 10-story building takes 2 years to complete, in China a company stacks pre-fabricated modules and raises the entire building in just 28 hours and 45 minutes.

BRICS is preparing a payment system inspired by the Brazilian PIX that will allow direct transactions between countries using national digital currencies without relying on the dollar or Western banks as intermediaries.

Ethiopia has banned gasoline and diesel cars, placed over a hundred silent electric buses on the streets of Addis Ababa, and now aims for half a million electric vehicles by 2030, all powered by Africa’s largest dam and a courage that few countries have shown.

On the coast of China, fishermen received an official reward after finding 10 foreign underwater devices capable of “stealing secrets” in just two years, showing that the silent war for the seabed has already reached the nets of those who rely on fishing.

A view from space, an image made by NASA shows the impressive Richat Structure, a geological formation located in the Sahara Desert, also known as the “Eye of the Sahara.”

Egypt wants to draw 10 million cubic meters of water from the Nile per day into the desert, irrigate a new agricultural frontier, and build a city where there is currently only sand.

In the South Atlantic, three isolated volcanic islands cause the wind to draw perfect spirals visible from space: a rare phenomenon called von Kármán vortex streets forms symmetrical patterns behind the peaks of the South Sandwich Islands and was recorded by the NOAA-20 satellite in 2025.

A parachutist crashed into the giant screen of the stadium and hung from the structure in front of thousands of people while carrying the flag of the United States during an exhibition flight.

With floating cranes and millimeter precision, Japan erected the cable-stayed bridge of Kesennuma over the bay after the 2011 tsunami, lifting steel modules weighing thousands of tons during tidal windows.

A 1953 Fusca that almost no one knows exists can be auctioned for R$ 570,000 in Brazil, and the reason it is worth so much money surprises even experienced collectors.

Social experiment leaves a bottle on the ground and reveals who ignores the trash and who picks it up right away, showing why clean cities live in more peace.

A couple fled from the most expensive coastline in Brazil in Santa Catarina and is now paying R$ 400 for rent with a house, land, and nearby beach, while those who stayed in Itapema continue to pay a fortune to live in cramped conditions.

After 14 years of construction and a diplomatic crisis that nearly led to a military confrontation over control of the Nile, Ethiopia inaugurated the largest hydroelectric power plant in Africa — the dam is 170 meters high, holds 74 billion cubic meters of water, and generates 5,150 megawatts.

Brazil strengthens partnership with Germany and directs billion-dollar investment to green hydrogen in the Northeast, boosting energy innovation, increasing industrial competitiveness, and consolidating real opportunities for regional sustainable development.

While Brazil sets records in solar and wind energy, the electrical system shuts down power plants every day because the transmission lines can’t handle it — and the losses have already exceeded R$ 5 billion in three years.

While the world still relies on polluting and slow energy, the island of Samsø in Denmark has started producing 40% more energy than it consumes, with 11 turbines, projects of up to 40 million euros, and a sustainable revolution built by just 4,000 inhabitants.

Renewable energy companies suspend R$ 40 billion and consider leaving the Northeast after rising costs and cuts in generation.
