Urban Orchard
(GRI EC8)

CTEEP is one of the supporters of the Urban Orchard Project, an initiative of the São Paulo State Department of the Environment, jointly with public and private sector companies. The goal is to recover the environment and the landscape along the banks of the Pinheiros River (São Paulo City), in addition to job training and environmental education programs.

The Government sets and monitors parameters to allow the recovery of the river banks. In turn, the other partners hire employees to care for the area. CTEEP is currently responsible for an 800-m stretch of the river banks.
