It administers the FSC-certified Produtores Serranos Certificados (PSC) group (FSC-C151757) and operates across all five Brazilian regions, reaching more than 60 municipalities and certifying over 50,000 hectares.

The company's underlying technology is scientific methodology combined with field-based monitoring instruments for biodiversity assessment, environmental diagnostics, and forest management; its differentiators are technical precision, scientific rigor, and domain specialization across HCV assessment, forest inventory, chain of custody, and fauna management.

Sumatra's business model is project-based professional services, billed on a quote basis against customized engagement scope, typically structured as multi-year contracts. Revenue is generated from four streams: environmental consulting, forest certification advisory, environmental licensing, and training, served via a sales-led, direct-engagement go-to-market targeting forest producers (SLIMF to large-scale), project developers, rural property owners, and government entities. The company is privately held with no external funding rounds disclosed and a 1-10 employee footprint.
