On July 8, 2025, a personal exchange took place between Helder Melillo, Executive Director of the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF),and representatives of INSTITUTO CLIMATICO VBH. The meeting focused on offsetting harmful CO₂ emissions generated by CBF’s national and international football operations.

INSTITUTO CLIMATICO VBH expressed its intention to support CBF’s climate strategy as an official sponsor by neutralizing all associated emissions — including those caused by fan travel, accommodation, and logistics. Initial estimates indicate that full climate neutrality would require the compensation of approximately 90,000 tons of CO₂ annually, depending on the tournament calendar and match series.

Further discussions are planned to develop a concrete implementation roadmap, underscoring CBF’s growing role in promoting sustainability in global football.
