We continuously deepen our sectorial capabilities to invest and innovate across the value chain of climate and sustainability.

As an entrepreneurial business ourselves, we thrive in partnering with entrepreneurs and teams to craft and develop businesses that enable economic prosperity. Through our on-the-ground and active engagement approach, we are able to mobilize resources at scale to evolve the entrepreneurial and business ecosystems of the markets in which we invest.
We believe that good governance is the bedrock of successful businesses. At Patria, we have carefully built a legacy of transparency, accountability, and sound governance protocols that has earned us the trust of investors, shareholders, and peers. The same principles inform how we approach governance matters in our investment decision-making.
Eixo SP manages more than 1,200 kilometers of highways in São Paulo that pass through 62 municipalities, from Rio Claro, in the central region of the State of São Paulo, to Panorama, in the extreme west, on the border with the State of Mato Grosso do Sul. The highway is certified in five ISO standards on which the Integrated Management System is structured – namely ISO 9001:2015 (Quality management systems), 14001:2015 (Environmental management systems), 45001:2018 (Occupational health and safety management systems), 39001:2012 (Road traffic safety (RTS) management systems), and 37001:2017 (Anti-bribery management systems).
In a move to reduce the GHG emissions from its services, in February 2023, Eixo SP launched the first tow truck powered by clean energy. They have also applied an asphalt micro-surfacing that uses milled material taken from highways in its composition, on a 1.5 km stretch of SP 304. In 2023, the highway concessionarie was awarded the Gold Seal from the Brazilian GHG Protocol Program. Eixo SP received the Gold Seal for the third consecutive year.
