A legacy for
future generations
On our 50th anniversary in 2017,
We decided to go beyond our businesses to provide solutions to major global challenges in sustainability.
To achieve this, we embarked on a path to protect the jaguar, biodiversity, and forests of Latin America, large carbon reservoirs that contribute to regulating the world’s climate, while generating benefits for communities.
Connection
Jaguar
It is the sustainability program of ISA and its companies that seeks to support nature-based solutions initiatives to contribute to:
Reducing greenhouse gas emissions that cause climate change.
The conservation of biodiversity and ecological connectivity through jaguar corridors.
Improving the living conditions of rural communities in the areas of influence of the projects.
Raising awareness about environmental issues through education, art, and culture.
Why the jaguar?
Jaguars and pumas play a vital ecological role in maintaining ecosystem balance: they protect biodiversity, water resources, and forests. Therefore, the presence of jaguars and pumas is synonymous with a healthy ecosystem.
Jaguar Corridor Initiative
One of the most extensive biological corridors for the conservation of a species.

our purpose
Profitable and self-sustainable conservation
- Through technical partners, who ensure that nature-based solutions projects issue and market certified carbon credits with community and biodiversity benefits, we enable companies and individuals to offset their greenhouse gas emissions with added value, generating income for the owners of the initiatives.
- Carbon mitigation mechanisms, plus the conservation and sustainable management of forests, are effective tools to reduce climate change and conserve biodiversity.
