Incubation and Acceleration of Local Businesses and Entrepreneurs

Challenge

Suzano is one of the world's largest pulp and paper producers. It needed to strengthen its relationship with local communities in Conceição da Barra and São Mateus (ES), including rural and urban quilombola areas. The company faced low engagement with its social actions and sought to promote local development and income generation more effectively.

Solution

In response, Transforma.ai developed an 18-month Private Social Investment Programmefocused on incubating and accelerating local businesses, based on an inclusive and robust corporate call for proposals:

Mapping of Suzano's previous actions in the region and creation of a new call for proposals with selection criteria, regulations, and engagement strategy, allowing the participation of formal and informal entrepreneurs.

On-site visits and workshops for project registration, diversifying participation channels and making them even more inclusive.

Evaluation of 670 projects using the Balanced Scorecard methodology, selection of 72 projects, and design of an action plan for project implementation.
