Jobs in the North

Currently, Grupo BBF stands out as one of the companies that employs the most people in the North of the country, with more than 6,000 direct jobs and 18,000 indirect jobs. The company is present in Acre, Amazonas, Pará, Rondônia and Roraima.

The company plans to double its workforce in the Amazon region by 2026, the year in which it intends to start producing the unprecedented Green Diesel (HVO) and Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) biofuels in Brazil.

"Since 2019, we've had a big jump in the number of employees, increasing our staff by 18 times, from 345 in 2019 to 6,280 in 2023. We now expect to double the current number over the next few years," says Grupo BBF CEO Milton Steagall.

Currently, around 29.6 million people live in the Amazon region, according to the Brazilian Institute of Research and Statistics (IBGE). For Grupo BBF it is essential to create job and income opportunities for this population, as long as the forest remains standing.

"We will only have a fair country and be able to talk about stopping deforestation when we can provide jobs for this population. We have 31 million hectares that can be recovered with oil palm in the Amazon region and oil palm cannot be mechanized, which keeps people in the countryside. This work is important because it is inclusive," says Steagall.

Grupo BBF has created an integrated business model in which it operates from the beginning to the end of the value chain - from sustainable oil palm cultivation, crude oil extraction, biofuel production, biotechnology and renewable energy generation - with assets totaling around R$2.2 billion and activities generating more than 6,000 direct jobs in the northern region of Brazil. Grupo BBF 's operations are located in the states of Acre, Amazonas, Rondônia, Roraima and Pará, comprising 38 thermoelectric plants (25 in operation and 13 under implementation), 3 palm oil crushing units, a soybean extruder and a biodiesel industry.

The company is expanding its supply of biofuels and has signed partnerships for the production of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) and Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO), also called green diesel. The new sustainable fuels will be produced as of 2026 in the country's first Biorefinery, currently under construction in the Manaus Free Trade Zone.
