Does your company use Brazilian biodiversity assets?
The risk may be where you least expect it

If you develop products using extracts, oils or essences from Brazilian flora and fauna — like açaí, cupuaçu, aloe or essential oils — you fall under Brazil's Biodiversity Law.

The catch? Most companies don't realize it until IBAMA comes knocking.

This isn't just about "being compliant": it's about protecting your business from fines that can shut your operation down.

Item II Fines Fines of up to R$ 10 million for companies and R$ 100,000 for individuals
Item VII Shutdown Partial or total shutdown of the establishment, activity or operation
Item X Incentives Loss or restriction of tax incentives and benefits granted by the government

Why RegulaBio exists

Brazil holds the largest biodiversity on the planet. Yet the legislation regulating access to this heritage is so complex that many companies give up on innovating — or operate without knowing they are at risk.

RegulaBio was born to change that. We combine legal expertise with technology to make biodiversity compliance accessible and actionable.
