Grupo MYR

What Grupo MYR does

Grupo MYR is a privately held Brazilian consulting firm that delivers integrated sustainability and territorial intelligence services to governments, multinational corporations, real estate developers, and multilateral development banks. Founded over 20 years ago, the company has completed more than 300 projects across Brazil and Canada and operates from offices in Belo Horizonte, Rio de Janeiro, and São Paulo. Its core offering is a Territorial Intelligence Platform that connects urban planning, environmental licensing, climate adaptation, geotechnologies, water resources, biodiversity, ESG reporting, and socio-environmental governance as a single integrated practice — explicitly differentiated from consultancies that treat these as isolated disciplines.

The company's technology stack rests on ESRI-based geospatial tools and data governance capabilities that convert territorial data into evidence for licensing, planning, monitoring, and public decision-making. Specialized service modules cover environmental licensing (with 5+ GW of renewable energy licensed), masterplans and territorial development, sustainability certifications (LEED, Fitwel, EDGE, GBC Casa, PROCEL), climate risk diagnostics and adaptation financing, biodiversity and protected area management, and ESG reporting aligned with GRI, SASB, IFRS, and TCFD standards. MYRTECH operates as a wholly owned technology subsidiary focused on LEED frameworks and digital solutions for sustainable construction.

Grupo MYR generates revenue through professional services on a project basis, with no public pricing disclosed. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting governments, municipalities, large corporations (Vale, Novo Nordisk, Atlas Renewable Energy, Localiza, Iguatemi, Patrimar), and multilateral institutions (CAF, World Bank, IDB). Distribution relies on direct engagement with decision-makers, plus consortium partnerships for development bank-funded programs (notably the 2025 Cidades Resilientes Brasil program with I Care by BearingPoint and Acclimatise). Marketing presence spans LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube, Spotify podcast, and active participation in industry forums including COP climate conferences and Greenbuild.
