Through BMV Group Solution, Company Preserves Native Forest Area and Is Able to Remove 126 Tons of Carbon Dioxide from the Atmosphere
Sapura has innovated in its area of operation and has become the first Brazilian company specialized in submarine services to acquire the Green Treasure Sustainability Seal, a BMV Group solution that certifies that the company adheres to ESG practices (Environmental, Social, and Governance). To achieve this, the company offset the environmental footprint of its offices in the cities of Rio de Janeiro, Caxias, and Rio das Ostras, in addition to making Sapura NET-Positive (a new way of doing business that gives back more to society, the environment, and the global economy than it takes).
Through the BMV Group solution, Sapura is avoiding the emission of 126 tons of carbon dioxide and preserving over 1,658 m² of native forest. Additionally, it is still storing 43.45 m³ of wood, 5,446L/Year of hydrological flow influenced by preservation, and hundreds of species of fauna and flora are being protected.
“For Sapura, it is a pride and a responsibility to be the first company in the field to achieve the Green Treasure Sustainability Seal from BMV. We strive to see ourselves as a reference in our field, and inspiring good examples aimed at the environment and society is part of this. With the investment in the Green Treasure Sustainability Seal, we gain a competitive edge and generate a real environmental benefit by removing additional carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, in addition to the other 26 parameters included in the process,” emphasizes Sapura’s CEO, Rogerio Salbego.

While hydroelectric plants lose capacity due to evaporation caused by heat in the reservoirs, the Philippines are installing floating solar panels on the plants’ own lakes, generating energy, reducing evaporation by up to 70%, and cooling the panels to increase electrical efficiency at the same time.

Small and flexible hydropower plants can be a game-changer for clean energy by generating electricity in previously overlooked rivers, without requiring large dams or aggressively altering the water flow.

Born from a joint venture between two multinational companies of unique importance in their markets: Seadrill and Sapura Energy, Sapura is one of the main players in the Brazilian submarine engineering market. It decided to hire the BMV Group solution to go beyond simply neutralizing the carbon emissions of its offices.
This investment is used to fund the preservation of native forest. For this, farmers join the BMV program and sign a commitment to preserve and protect the forest. Soon after, a team conducts an inventory of the area, applying a methodology validated by scientists from the Faculty of Economic Sciences at Unesp and registered with the UN (United Nations). Subsequently, the inventory is recorded on blockchain.
“It is a unique product that adapts to all the needs of companies and countries when it comes to ESG, allowing for a net positive related to carbon and incorporating another 26 environmental benefits, such as the preservation of species of fauna and flora,” explains the economist, co-founder, and chief operating officer (COO) of BMV Group, Alessandra Umbelino.
SGS (the world’s leading inspection, verification, testing, and certification company) audits the entire process. Therefore, SGS ensures that the BMV Group’s Green Treasure certification for companies is aligned with ESG practices as an external action of the companies, generating positive impact, the so-called “net positive.”
