Organization and Conduct of Public Hearings

Organization and Conduct of Public Hearings

Virtú Ambiental has consolidated expertise in organizing and conducting public hearings for projects that face significant challenges of social acceptance. Our strategic approach and sensitivity to local particularities has demonstrated exceptional results in transforming scenarios of resistance into opportunities for constructive dialogue.

A striking example was the conduction of the public hearing of the company Biomar in Tutóia-MA, where the public was essentially composed of local fishermen initially resistant to the project. Through our engagement methodology, we were able to conduct the process in such a way that the community transitioned from the great initial resistance to the genuine interest in the enterprise.

We have also conducted multiple public hearings for SRN Mineração, a project that faces significant resistance from potentially affected local communities. Our experience in challenging scenarios allows us to develop context-specific strategies, promoting transparent dialogue and consensus-building.
