Dow announced that that Natura cosmetics brand will be the first commercial collaborator for Project Ybá, a strategic sustainability project for balancing commercial growth with environmental preservation at a local community in Brazil’s Amazon Rainforest. Since 2021, Dow has invested $200,000 in Project Ybá in collaboration with the Peabiru Institute and The Nature Conservancy. The initiative aims to develop a local cooperative, which will sell the bioactive products from Dow’s preserved areas of the Amazon Rainforest and increase family incomes in the community while conserving the rainforest.
