All projects begin with an analysis of the feasibility of purchasing the land and the soil conditions, considering the needs imposed by the size of the development. Before the acquisition, we check the ground for contamination. Calculations are made to assess the feasibility of absorbing decontamination costs when this occurs.
Our assessments take into account land use and local biodiversity. In this sense, the Monumento SP project is a case. The development has a permanent preservation area (APP). Under the commitment assumed by the municipality, we carry out annual monitoring of the development of biodiversity (fauna and flora) during the entire period of the construction works.
Monumento SP Enterprise
The project helped to mitigate the impacts on fauna and flora in a preserved area of over 13,000 square meters, where revegetation was carried out with native species (ingá, pau-viola, aroeira-pimenteira, pitangueira and cerejeira do rio grande), which attract the local fauna and serve as protection and food source.
The APP has a stream that cuts through the development. To protect the stream, the riparian forest and the forest fragments existing in the terrain from external agents, the limits of the area and the forest fragments were duly delimited and fenced in, preventing the entry of people and domestic animals.
Proving our environmental concern and transparency in our accountability, the table below reveals the total areas that were decontaminated and remedied on our land in the last three years. The technical name “remedied” represents the entire area that previously had contamination in the soil or groundwater, and after undergoing environmental remediation processes, conditions for human health and the intended occupation were reestablished.
Area (m²) | 2019 | 2020 | 2021 |
---|---|---|---|
Total area of land decontaminated and remediated to intended use | 7,915 | 42,820 | 31,495 |
Total area of land assessed for remediation but not yet remediated. | 85,170 | 48,115 | 16,440 |
Total (m²) | 93,085 | 90,935 | 47,935 |
The oscillation is associated with Even's landbank over the years.
