Rich in natural resources, Brazil has its own challenges that companies planning to do business there need to address. Environmental laws demand permits and licences that must be obtained prior to operations, as part of the enterprise implementation planning.

Habtec Engenharia Ambiental builds bridges between businesses and Brazil's environmental agencies. "Habtec offers its clients science and technology in order to give man, in his habitat, a high quality of life," says executive director Guaraci Sathler. "We offer viability of enterprise without sacrificing environmental protection."
