What CLAM does
CLAM Meio Ambiente is a Brazilian environmental and ESG consulting firm headquartered in Belo Horizonte, founded in 1997, with 501–1,000 employees and operations across Brazil. The company delivers an integrated portfolio of six core service lines: environmental permitting and management, water resource management, integrated social management, specialized technical services (including speleology and land regularization), integrated management systems aligned with ISO 9001/14001/45001, and ESG strategy and consulting. These services are delivered through project-based professional engagements with enterprise clients in mining, energy, oil & gas, infrastructure, and agribusiness, supplemented by proprietary software tools such as curvaWEB (genetic-algorithm-based hydrological analysis) and Laudos Reader (water quality report processing), as well as a whistleblower channel operated in partnership with a compliance office.
The company serves over 150 clients, including Vale, Petrobras, Anglo American, Cemig, Omega Energia, and Ipiranga, and operates a sales-led, enterprise-focused go-to-market motion anchored by direct client engagement, industry event participation (Exposibram, COBRAMSEG, Forum Conexão ESG), technical content marketing, and partnerships with state environmental agencies and industry unions. CLAM became a signatory to the UN Global Compact in October 2023 and has pursued ecosystem expansion through partnerships with Greenlegis (GRC/ESG technology), GWS Engenharia, SEMAS/PA, IEF, Cemig, and Sinduscon-MG, including regional expansion into Pará ahead of COP 30. Revenue is generated through customized, quote-based consulting engagements with no publicly disclosed pricing or rate cards.
