Suzano Ventures

We're pleased to announce our strategic investment in Simplifyber’s Series A funding, as the lead investor in the round!   Founded in 2021, bio-based materials innovator Simplifyber has already made strides in transforming traditional soft goods manufacturing, used in sectors ranging from apparel to automotive. This funding demonstrates the startup’s continued momentum, following flagship partnerships with the likes of Danish fashion brand GANNI, and will fuel its next phase in providing manufacturers with a scalable solution to reduce their reliance on fossil-based materials.   We’re excited to be on this journey with Simplifyber. Not just as an investor, but as a strategic partner – providing access to Suzano’s vast market expertise and production capabilities in bio-based raw materials, while taking a collaborative approach to enhancing and scaling Simplifyber’s novel technologies.   We believe Simplifyber is a promising start-up in this ecosystem with its pioneering approach to bio-based materials.   Swipe below to find out more about Simplifyber and our investment! 👇   #CorporateVenture #WePlantTheFuture

At Suzano, the world’s largest pulp supplier and a major producer of bio-based raw materials, we know we need to be part of the solution to our planet’s biggest challenges – such as climate change. We recently published our 2024 Sustainability Report, which demonstrates our collective and ongoing commitment to planting a more sustainable future through pioneering advancement and innovation, across our global ecosystem. Last year was marked by several exciting milestones for our Suzano Ventures team, as we continued to invest in groundbreaking deeptech startups, each pushing the boundaries of sustainable innovation and with the potential to support and realize Suzano’s ambitions for a greener planet.   🔎 Throughout the year, we identified and evaluated more than 750 companies 🤝 We made 7 investments in pioneering businesses spanning our 4 verticals, including Bioform Technologies, Nfinite Nanotech, BemAgro S.A, Marvin and Entropic Solutions 💰 These amounted to a total capital allocation of US$20.3 million   But as a CVC, it’s not just about the capital that we provide. By sharing our deep technical expertise and access to our global network, we’re forming long-term partnerships which hold the potential to grow businesses and revolutionize sectors, all in support of the urgent need to transition to a more sustainable economy.   Check out the full report to find out more about how we’re shaping the future of our business and the bioeconomy: https://lnkd.in/eKkzAaz5   #SustainableInnovation #CorporateVenturing #WePlantTheFuture

Um resumo do nosso portfólio de soluções para a economia sustentável. Suzano Ventures, renovando a vida a partir da árvore!

As an investor, it’s important to look for the signal and not the noise. Climate change is an urgent issue that is already causing major disruptions to supply chains.   But if we look beyond the record temperatures, fossil fuel emissions, and coffee prices that made the headlines last year, we can see a more promising outlook: there is a strong business case for many of the solutions to the climate crisis.   📈 Investment in the energy transition increased once again in 2024, passing $2 trillion 🌎 Climate and the environment are now considered the two most likely factors to impact investment decisions in the next 2-5 years   For Suzano Ventures, the signal is clear. We remain committed to identifying, investing in, and developing solutions to our planet’s greatest challenge. In doing so, and by working alongside the next generation of innovators, we continue to play our part not only in boosting the efficiency and sustainability of Suzano’s operations, but paving the way towards a more sustainable future, too.   All data and imagery from Nat Bullard: https://lnkd.in/eGevk7_3   #climatechange #sustainableinvestment #innovativesolutions

🌱 Suzano Ventures. Where legacy meets innovation. 🌱 As a corporate VC, one of our functions is to identify, invest in and nurture pioneering startups with the potential to shape Suzano’s business in years to come. But we’re also part of something much bigger. Suzano Ventures acts as the bridge between Suzano’s 101-year legacy in the Brazilian and forestry ecosystems, and the new global wave of deeptech innovation.
