AB  - Considering the unique relevance of Brazilian biodiversity, this research aims to 
      investigate the main barriers to biodiversity-based R&D and eco-design 
      development in a leading national company which has been commended for its 
      innovation and sustainability. The methodology for this research was based on 
      on-location visits, in-depth interviews, and consensus building among R&D, 
      sustainability, and quality managers. A multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) 
      approach was adopted through interpretive structural modelling (ISM), a method 
      that assists decision makers to transform complex models with unclear data into 
      structural models. Some of the most influential barriers to biodiversity-based 
      eco-design initiatives are "lack of legal incentive", "not enough demand from the 
      market", and "not enough available knowledge/scientific data." The most relevant 
      barrier was "no legal incentive" from government. Consequently, managers should 
      concentrate their efforts in tackling those barriers that may affect other 
      barriers known as 'key barriers'. Government should work decisively toward 
      promoting a framework of legal incentives for bio-based eco-design; otherwise, 
      metaphorically, "there is not carnival without the samba singer who pushes the 
      rhythm". The results given here reveal the barriers for bio-based eco-design in a 
      Brazilian leading company, and this is the first work combining ISM to barriers 
      to biodiversity R&D and eco-design.
