What IMPACTO does

IMPACTO (legal entity: IMPACTO PLATAFORMA LTDA, CNPJ 37.949.032/0001-48) is a Brazilian SaaS company headquartered in Rio de Janeiro that operates an ESG transparency and traceability platform connecting corporations to civil society impact organizations. Founded in 2017 with approximately 300 employees, the company targets large corporations and listed companies subject to ESG regulatory requirements in Brazil (CVM 193, effective 2026) and the European Union (CSRD, effective 2024), alongside OSCs that receive and report on funds routed through the platform, and individual socioenvironmental investors. Notable enterprise customers and partners include PwC, Microsoft, Banco Safra, Itaú BBA, Rede D'Or, L'Oréal Brasil, and LATAM Cargo, with additional relationships across nonprofits (The Caring Family Foundation, Instituto da Criança), academia (PUC-Rio), and impact-tech firms (CIVI-CO, DEEP ESG, Liqi, Grana, Nibo).

The platform, branded "ESG 360°," is built on a modular architecture comprising five modules: a Dashboard module for ESG data intelligence and customizable KPI reporting; an Engagement module for stakeholder participation, donations, and interactive AI chat; an Organizations of Impact module for managing OSC beneficiaries, receipts, and impact reporting; a Security & Support module providing ISO 27001, LGPD, and GDPR compliance; and a Smart Chat AI module that delivers real-time conversational access to field-collected project data. Payment processing supports credit card and Brazil's PIX instant payment rail, with cryptocurrency support reportedly forthcoming. The platform operates across 26 Brazilian states and 17 countries, with an ecosystem claiming 1,100+ supporters and volunteers, 4,444+ active socioenvironmental investors, and 6,000+ curated projects reaching 400,000+ people.

IMPACTO generates revenue through SaaS subscription fees from enterprise customers and transaction-based fees on donations and fund flows routed through the platform. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; enterprise prospects are routed to a 15-minute product demonstration, indicating an enterprise field sales motion. Distribution is primarily direct enterprise sales supplemented by strategic partnerships, most notably a flagship alliance with DEEP ESG for integrated ESG solution delivery, with secondary partnerships spanning PwC (advisory), Microsoft (cloud/technology), and PUC-Rio (research and ESG expertise).
