BP assumed full control of the Brazilian operation in 2024 after acquiring Bunge\u2019s 50% stake in the former BP Bunge Bioenergia joint venture. Focused on producing ethanol, sugar, and bioelectricity from sugarcane, the company operates 11 industrial facilities across five Brazilian states.<\/p>\n<p>According to complaints submitted anonymously to the Tocantins State Public Prosecutor\u2019s Office (MP-TO) in September 2025 and first reported by Jornal Op\u00e7\u00e3o Tocantins, the installation of a water pipeline intended to irrigate sugarcane plantations and supply water to Pedro Afonso Bioenergia\u2019s biofuel plant allegedly altered the natural flow of local waterways, destroyed springs, and affected fish breeding areas in the Tocantins River.<\/p>\n<p>In May 2026, a new complaint, filed by the estate of the owner of part of the land where the project is being carried out, accused the company of clearing approximately 5,000 hectares of the Cerrado biome\u2014the equivalent of approximately 7,000 football fields\u2014to establish crop rotation areas intended for irrigation. The deforestation allegedly took place without environmental studies proportionate to the scale of the intervention.<\/p>\n<h2>Company denies wrongdoing<\/h2>\n<p>In a statement submitted to the MP-TO, Pedro Afonso Bioenergia denied any wrongdoing and said the works are part of \u201ca standard agricultural irrigation project\u201d licensed by Naturatins (the state environmental agency), and monitored by the competent authorities.<\/p>\n<p>In a statement sent to <strong>Rep\u00f3rter Brasil<\/strong>, Pedro Afonso Bioenergia reiterated the arguments presented to the MP-TO but did not answer questions regarding the impacts of the water pipeline system or the allegation that 5,000 hectares had been cleared. The company also did not respond to questions about whether it had consulted the Xerente Indigenous people who live in the region (read the full response here).<\/p>\n<div data-elementor-type=\"section\" data-elementor-id=\"77670\" data-elementor-post-type=\"elementor_library\">\n<div data-id=\"17a659f\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings='{\"background_background\":\"classic\"}'>\n<div>\n<div data-id=\"386385d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n<div>\n<h2>ASSINE NOSSA NEWSLETTER<\/h2>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div data-id=\"6546917\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n<div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div data-id=\"8c2e333\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings='{\"button_width\":\"20\",\"step_next_label\":\"Next\",\"step_previous_label\":\"Previous\",\"button_width_mobile\":\"20\",\"step_type\":\"number_text\",\"step_icon_shape\":\"circle\"}' data-widget_type=\"form.default\">\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<label for=\"form-field-email\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tEmail\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/label><\/p><\/div>\n<div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<button type=\"submit\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span>Submit<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/button>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>In the Simplified Environmental Study submitted by the company to Naturatins and reviewed by <strong>Rep\u00f3rter Brasil<\/strong>, Pedro Afonso Bioenergia stated that no vegetation clearance would be necessary to implement the irrigation system.

However, certified producers must demonstrate that the biomass used does not originate from areas that have been recently deforested.<\/p>\n<p>According to <strong>Rep\u00f3rter Brasil<\/strong>\u2018s reporting, if irregularities are confirmed in areas or data included in the certification process, the certification could be reviewed or revoked.<\/p>\n<p><strong>:: Read also: BP sugar mill in Brazil could lose certification if environmental damage is proven ::<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>A series of warnings<\/h2>\n<p>The plant\u2019s environmental licensing process began in December 2023. In May 2024, Naturatins notified the company of pending requirements, including the absence of a water-use permit from the National Water and Basic Sanitation Agency (ANA), which authorizes water withdrawals from federally administered rivers. ANA confirmed to <strong>Rep\u00f3rter Brasil<\/strong> that it issued two such permits in the following months, while three additional permits were granted in 2025\u2014therefore after the project\u2019s Installation License had been approved in November 2024.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, according to documents reviewed by <strong>Rep\u00f3rter Brasil<\/strong>, the land registry certificates attached to the licensing process showed that Pedro Afonso Bioenergia did not hold registered ownership of the land. This, in itself, does not prevent environmental licensing, provided there is proof of lawful possession with the landowner\u2019s consent.<\/p>\n<p>In February 2026, Naturatins\u2019 legal department issued a legal opinion concluding that \u201cthe documentation included in the case file is insufficient to prove ownership [by Pedro Afonso Bioenergia].\u201d<\/p>\n<figure><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\"src=\"https:\/\/redept.com.br\/blogosfera\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/7e11d7c43f97fb61b626bc69bd0ab336-width-1280-1.jpg\" alt=\"Headquarters of the Tocantins Public Prosecutor's Office.

(Photo: Handout\/Tocantins Public Prosecutor\u2019s Office)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In March, the agency\u2019s technical licensing department issued a technical opinion reaching the same conclusion and gave the company 30 days to regularize its documentation by confirming, among other requirements, lawful possession of the land or the landowner\u2019s consent for the project. The notice included an explicit warning that failure to comply would result in the revocation of the licenses. The deadline expired on April 24, 2026.<\/p>\n<p>In May 2026, a new legal opinion issued by Naturatins\u2019 legal department reiterated that the documentation remained insufficient, added that the company\u2019s claim of possession had been \u201clegally weakened\u201d by an ongoing dispute with the landowner reflected in public records, and formally recommended the temporary suspension of the environmental licensing process.<\/p>\n<p>In response to questions from <strong>Rep\u00f3rter Brasil<\/strong>, Naturatins merely stated that the licensing process remains under regular review in accordance with the technical, legal, and administrative procedures established under environmental legislation (read the full response here).<\/p>\n<p>According to the MP-TO, a preliminary injunction issued by the 1st Public Treasury Court of Palmas, Tocantins, granted a request by Pedro Afonso Bioenergia and ordered Naturatins not to suspend or reject the licensing process, which therefore remains ongoing.<\/p>\n<h2>Potential impacts on Indigenous land<\/h2>\n<p>Another issue involving Pedro Afonso Bioenergia\u2019s irrigation project concerns its potential impacts on the Xerente Indigenous Territory. According to an open letter published in June this year by the Student Front in Defense of the Tocantins River and the Environment, the project is located within a 10-kilometer radius of the territory, a distance that, under Interministerial Ordinance No. 60\/2015, requires the National Foundation of Indigenous Peoples (Funai) to issue an opinion as part of the environmental licensing process.<\/p>\n<p>According to the letter, Funai did not respond to an official request on the matter that Naturatins had sent within the regulatory deadline. The continuation of the licensing process without that opinion would, according to the Student Front, violate International Labour Organization (ILO) Convention 169 and Article 231 of Brazil\u2019s Federal Constitution, which guarantee traditional communities the right to free, prior, and informed consultation regarding projects that may affect their territories.<\/p>\n<p>In response to questions from <strong>Rep\u00f3rter Brasil<\/strong>, Funai\u2019s office in Palmas, Tocantins, stated that the Student Front\u2019s complaint alleging violations of the rights of the Indigenous peoples of the Xerente Indigenous Territory is under review by the General Coordination for Environmental Impact Assessment in Bras\u00edlia (Federal District) (read the full response here).<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"675\"src=\"https:\/\/redept.com.br\/blogosfera\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/encontro-xerente-formacao_cimi-goto-002-scaled-2.jpg\" alt=\"Meeting in the Xerente Indigenous Territory, which could be affected by construction work by Pedro Afonso Bioenergia.

Asked by <strong>Rep\u00f3rter Brasil<\/strong> about the allegations, BP shareholders did not comment directly on the potential environmental damage allegedly caused by the multinational\u2019s Brazilian subsidiary.<\/p>\n<p>One of the company\u2019s largest shareholders is Norges Bank Investment Management (NBIM), which manages the world\u2019s largest sovereign wealth fund on behalf of the Norwegian government. In a statement to <strong>Rep\u00f3rter Brasil<\/strong>, NBIM said only that it maintains climate and nature guidelines for all companies in its portfolio, but does not comment on individual investments (read the full response here).<\/p>\n<p>In a document outlining its expectations on nature for portfolio companies, the fund states that companies should \u201cdemonstrate that they have eliminated deforestation from their operations and value chains\u201d and respect \u201cthe right of Indigenous peoples to free, prior and informed consent.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to data from LSEG, the global financial markets infrastructure and data provider, investment managers BlackRock, Elliott, and Vanguard ranked among BP\u2019s largest shareholders in 2025. None responded to <strong>Rep\u00f3rter Brasil<\/strong>\u2018s requests for comment.<\/p>\n<p>In its official stewardship guidance on natural capital, BlackRock states that it expects companies with significant impacts on natural habitats to \u201cpublish no-deforestation policies and biodiversity strategies.\u201d Vanguard, meanwhile, says that corporate boards should exercise \u201congoing oversight of material risks\u201d\u2014including environmental risks\u2014that could affect long-term investment returns.<\/p>\n<p>Elliott, for its part, does not publish environmental or social commitments. On the contrary, the firm has been pressing BP to abandon its renewable energy ambitions and refocus on oil and gas production\u2014a campaign that coincided with the British multinational\u2019s 2025 announcement that it would cut approximately US$5 billion a year from its low-carbon investments.<\/p>\n<p>Eduardo Trevisan, a specialist in agricultural supply chains and biofuels at Imaflora, a Brazilian organization that works on certification, auditing, and environmental and social sustainability, criticized BP\u2019s investors for remaining silent in the face of the allegations involving the company\u2019s Brazilian subsidiary.<\/p>\n<p>According to Trevisan, investors have a range of monitoring tools at their disposal. \u201cPrecisely to reduce environmental and social risks, investors can require prior assessments, due diligence, and audits before financing a processing plant or an agricultural or forestry operation,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Merel van der Mark, coordinator of Forests &amp; Finance, an international coalition that monitors financial flows linked to deforestation, said financial institutions exposed to a global company have an obligation to assess environmental and social risks at its local subsidiaries.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat oversight should continue even after the financial relationship has been established, especially when one of those operations becomes the target of an environmental investigation,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<div data-elementor-type=\"section\" data-elementor-id=\"129686\" data-elementor-post-type=\"elementor_library\">\n<div>\n<div data-id=\"e5e1762\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n<div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"360\" height=\"300\"src=\"https:\/\/redept.com.br\/blogosfera\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/apoie--10.webp\" alt=\"Apoie a Rep\u00f3rter Brasil\" srcset=\"https:\/\/redept.com.br\/blogosfera\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/apoie--10.webp 360w, https:\/\/reporterbrasil.org.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/apoie-1-300x250.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 360px) 100vw, 360px\">\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>25 anos investigando para mudar.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>A Rep\u00f3rter Brasil j\u00e1 ajudou a impulsionar leis, fortalecer direitos e combater o trabalho escravo.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Em 2026, fazemos 25 anos \u2014 e vem muito mais por a\u00ed!<\/strong><\/p>\n<div data-elementor-type=\"container\" data-elementor-id=\"75228\" data-elementor-post-type=\"elementor_library\">\n<div data-id=\"5e8db1e6\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n<div>\n<div data-id=\"36eb6c91\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n<div>\n<div data-id=\"6f52f515\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n<div data-id=\"65d9f401\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n<div>\n<div>\n\t\t\t<span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div data-id=\"134a1245\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n<div>\n<div data-id=\"10fe55fe\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n<div>\n<p>Leia tamb\u00e9m<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div data-id=\"3c9495ae\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings='{\"template_id\":\"75221\",\"columns\":1,\"row_gap\":{\"unit\":\"px\",\"size\":10,\"sizes\":[]},\"_skin\":\"post\",\"columns_tablet\":\"2\",\"columns_mobile\":\"1\",\"edit_handle_selector\":\"[data-elementor-type=\"loop-item\"]\",\"row_gap_tablet\":{\"unit\":\"px\",\"size\":\"\",\"sizes\":[]},\"row_gap_mobile\":{\"unit\":\"px\",\"size\":\"\",\"sizes\":[]}}' data-widget_type=\"loop-grid.post\">\n<div>\n<div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The post Brazil prosecutors examine whether BP\u2019s ethanol plant caused environmental damage in the state of Tocantins appeared first on Rep\u00f3rter Brasil.<\/p>\n<!-- Begin Yuzo --><div class='yuzo_related_post style-1'  data-version='5.12.89'><!-- without result --><div class='yuzo_clearfixed yuzo__title yuzo__title'><h3>Related Post<\/h3><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t  <div class=\"relatedthumb \" style=\"width:125px;float:left;overflow:hidden;\">  \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  <a  href=\"https:\/\/redept.com.br\/blogosfera\/eua-vivem-exodo-historico-de-residentes-mais-saidas-que-entradas-pela-primeira-vez-desde-a-grande-depressao\/\"  >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  <div class=\"yuzo-img-wrap \" style=\"width: 125px;height:90px;\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"yuzo-img\" style=\"background:url('https:\/\/redept.org\/blogosfera\/wp-content\/plugins\/yuzo-related-post\/assets\/images\/default.png') 50% 50% no-repeat;width: 125px;height:90px;margin-bottom: 5px;background-size: cover;
