BVS&A - The Environmental and Social Investment Exchange

The Environmental and Social Investment Exchange - (BVS&A) is an initiative introduced by Bovespa -- São Paulo Stock Exchange -- designed to boost projects fostered by Brazilian NGOs especially targeted at promoting improvements in the country’s social and environmental outlook.

Its main goal is to set up an environment intended to create values contributing to worthwhile projects in a transparent and reliable form. Accordingly, Bovespa and its associated Brokerage firms introduce the portfolio of the BVS&A-listed social and environmental projects intended to attract funds for them.

In line with the same analogy used on the stock market, where corporations strengthen their business through Bovespa that turns investors’ capitals into profits and dividends, the supported NGOs can become stronger and turn their investments into a fairer society and a more protected environment.
