Get to know our pillars and priority themes
Environmental
- Absorption of C02;
- Contribution to climate containment (avoiding an increase of 1.5ºC);
- New forests with maximized biodiversity.
- Generating biodiversity
- Maintenance of a 26,000 m² Atlantic Forest area (RPE), the only stadium in Brazil with a fully preserved forest;
- Mata dos Morcegos - maintenance of the largest green area in the California neighborhood, covering 76,000 m²;
- Planting more than 55,000 tree seedlings over a 10-year period. This corresponds to more than 10% of the total number of trees in the city, including counterparts and compensation for suppression;
- Detention tank with a capacity of 1.8 million liters of water, essential for safely draining water into the city's public networks;
- Rainwater storage at the MRV Arena: a reservoir with a capacity of 1.5 million liters that is used to irrigate the lawn, urinals, etc;
- Preserving the springs that exist in the RPE and channeling the watercourse into the public network;
- MRV Arena's RPE is a finalist in the Sport Positive Award, an international sustainability prize. Our "Together for the Planet" campaign, in partnership with MPMG, Instituto Galo and Bahia, to warn against global warming, won two categories at the international NYX Awards in the United States: best public relations campaign overall and in the sports category.
Governance
- Environmental Restorer Seal
- Creation of Ético, the Club's compliance channel.

The Aurora Verde project is a successful case of greening Brazil through environmental restoration.
At the beginning of 2022, we planted 100,000 seedlings of native species to restore an environmental area in Cana Verde (MG). The process of tokenizing trees is innovative and allows more and more people to easily become environmental restorers. Each Abundance Token represents a tree and a part of a forest that is being formed, generating carbon credits and abundance for the planet. Contribute to this initiative!
"The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago.
The second best is now!"
Paulo Cesar Miranda
CEO & Founder VerdeAzul
1 million trees
Aligned with the UN's 2030 Agenda and the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals), our desire and commitment is to accelerate the best Brazil has to offer: sustainability and environmental abundance.
We want to plant at least 1 million trees in Aurora Verde over the next few years, in partnership with people and companies who will help make this dream come true. On average, a tree sequesters 1 ton of C02 in its 40-year life cycle. So Abundance Tokens are issued to preserve each one and the process of decarbonizing the planet has a significant contribution to make to our forest.
