What Sete Soluções e Tecnologia Ambiental does

Sete Soluções e Tecnologia Ambiental is a privately held Brazilian environmental consulting firm founded in 1997 and headquartered in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais. The company conducts environmental studies, plans, and executes integrated environmental management projects for enterprise clients across four verticals: energy (hydroelectric, thermal, solar, wind, transmission lines and substations), mining, industry (steel, chemical, cement), and large-scale infrastructure. It supports clients across all project phases from studies through licensing, fauna and flora monitoring, environmental compensation, socio-environmental programs, and execution during implantation and operation. Named clients include CSN Mineração, Vallourec, and Anglo Gold Ashanti.

The firm operates as a multidisciplinary services organization of over 500 professionals and specialized consultants spanning biology (including botany, ornithology, chiropterology, ichthyology, herpetology), engineering, geology, geography, geoprocessing, hydrology, archaeology, and sociology. Its delivery is organized into interconnected service modules — Project Office, Health/Safety/Environment, Information Technology, People Management, Supplies, Logistics, Geoprocessing, Administrative/Financial/Accounting Management, Report Editing/Production, and Governance/Quality Management. Technical differentiation rests on GIS/geoprocessing systems for satellite and aerial imagery and cartography, proprietary IT tools developed over two decades, and an innovative bioacoustics technique for monitoring bats (chiroptera) in wind farms that the company positions as more efficient and lower-cost than traditional mist nets.

The business model is B2B professional and managed services, monetized through custom-quoted environmental consulting engagements and project management/execution fees; pricing is not publicly disclosed and depends on project scope and complexity. Go-to-market is a direct enterprise/field sales motion led by a commercial team, delivered through a nationwide network of ten offices concentrated in mining and energy regions across Brazil (Belo Horizonte, Nova Lima, Brumadinho, Jaíba, Bom Jesus do Itabapoana, Parauapebas, Canaã dos Carajás, Ourilândia do Norte, Marabá, and Porto Velho). The company holds ISO 9001:2015 certification, is a UN Global Compact member, and publishes GRI-standard sustainability reports.
