About us

Nature preserved to promote life. This is our vision.

Our voice comes
from nature

We are the Boticário Group Foundation for Nature Protection, a nonprofit organization maintained by the Boticário Group through Private Social Investment. Founded in 1990 by Miguel Krigsner, the founder and chairman of Boticário Group, this is one of Brazil’s leading environmental institutions.

Since then, we have been committed to prioritizing the conservation of Brazil’s biodiversity across all sectors of society. Through partnerships, innovative solutions, impactful businesses, and public engagement, we address critical environmental, social, and economic challenges.

Understanding that a healthy environment is essential for societal well-being and a robust economy, the Boticário Group Foundation now focuses on climate adaptation, water security, and coastal-marine resilience.

And we are just getting started, conserving nature to sustain life.
