Its our philosophy to do business in an optimal social, environmental and economical balance. We are an economical viable social responsible investment fund for people who care about the future.

SuperVerde aims to become a leading producer of green renewables. We base our business case on concrete and verified information and risks analysis. By the end of 2007 we will scale up our operations. We will attract private capital for this. In 2008 SuperVerde will be publicly listed at the London Stock Exchange. Investors are offered a super green portfolio with a blue chip return.

Why invest in super green renewables?

The demand for renewable energy is rising. Now in Europe, Brazil and the US low percentages of biodiesel are mixed with normal diesel. In Europe there is a strong lobby to increase the present 2% to 5% as soon as possible. These quantities seem insignificant. Realise that in the long term strategies of the oil companies up to 30 years from now target that over 40% of the global energy demand remains to be diesel. Their fossil production is reaching about 100 million barrels of oil per day. The present biodiesel demand could therefore be estimated at 1 million barrels per day.

Production capacity is being built but often the only crops available are taken from the existing food chain (i.e. corn and soybeans). Building sustainable agricultural capacity is far more complex. In Ceará Brazil for instance there is now a production capacity of 1000 barrels biodiesel a day. In spite of all efforts by the local government only 20% of this capacity can be filled by non food crops such as Mamona. The pressure on commercialising food crops is therefore still increasing. Irresponsible production too can be a threat (deforesting of rainforests, use of land, excessive use of agrochemicals and water spillage).

SuperVerde offers an intelligent alternative. We calculated and tested that a good return is still possible doing everything right. We go for an operational profit before taxes of 10 to 20%. This is regarded as an excellent result for mainstream and even blue chip companies. For large scale agriculture in Brazil this is however a medium to low result. SuperVerde doesn't want to maximise its profit but will re-invest the surplus in new technology, facilitation of micro farming and environmental precaution.

 

Why invest in agricultural land in Brazil?

In the Nordeste of Brazil good agricultural land is available and the prices of land are often still low. For agriculture we need plenty of affordable good land with access to water. SuperVerde has excellent opportunities in acquiring these lands. We offer 10% return for a period of 10 years to our land investors. They will need to invest in irrigation as well, but also here we guarantee a yearly return of 10% on the total investment. The advantages for the investor are numerous:

1. The return on investment is good
2. The investor participates in a socially responsible project embraced by public and governments
3. Good agricultural land is becoming scarce and therefore will increase in value
4. The land will be actually used and therefore the risk of illegal occupancy is avoided
5. The investment is about the future for us all
