WE ABSORB
CARBON

EXPERTISE

We use our commodity expertise to achieve the most efficient origination of verified emission reduction certificates.

We replace areas with the most exhausted soils that has been exploited for years and bring back the native forest to them.

These lands have served for a long time. It is time for them to get back to their roots as natural forested carbon traps.

Carbon credit markets today gives us the opportunity to compensate them assisting the soil to recover the maximum amount of organic material and bio mass by knowing every inch of the large surfaces we work with and recognizing what’s best for them.

LOCAL IMPACT

The fact of us working directly down in the fields avoids the participation of intermediary parts and all what that means for such kind of projects, where is all about local impact. Knowing the region from many generations and having a strong position in all aspects needed, to deliver the expected results.

RESPONSIBLE EXECUTION

While our mission is focused on the land, our vision is the growth of carbon as an agri commodity investment for global markets.

International carbon credit markets are expanding as investors become more conscious about their funds being invested for the global good. An investment in the reforestation of Latin America is both a responsible and a profitable one.

ADDITIONALITY

The decision to embrace this transformation meant a big change for all of us. By “us,” we mean everyone and everything: our team, the communities living near the reforested areas, the local flora and fauna, and even the Earth as our home.

Our reforestation programs have changed the future of these lands. Without reforestation, the lands would have been used for low yield cattle farming, which would have produced the opposite impact on carbon reduction.

BIODIVERSITY

So the recovery of native forests on farmlands generates value in many ways by avoiding future carbon emissions, creating a natural carbon sink, and promoting biodiversity.

POSSIBILITIES

The possibility that the projects provide to the area where they will be implanted, reaches not only natural conditions but also considers local communities by including social seals fostering them to participate in the project.

PERMANENCE

Our commitment is to do what is for good and forever.

Our projects are planned to last for a minimum of 30 years. During that time, we are monitoring the forest to better guarantee that our goals of growing biodiversity and thriving lands are moving in the right direction. Our long-term commitment to the land reduces the risk of any changes in legal ownership or any unwelcome changes to our investment plan in the future.

Commodity industry but mostly commodity origination is all about time, production takes time. Also, efficiently understanding the social, legal, and economic environment takes time. The overall natural nature of the underlying asset makes it a long-term investment. As all times participant of this industry, we are organized to work that way.

CHALLENGE

Is this a significant challenge? Yes. Yes, it is. But that challenge is worth meeting because we know that our success will benefit present and future stakeholders.

We approach this work with the certainty that it will not end with us.

SOLID BASE

We are building these projects with a solid base so that what is started now will be continued and improved upon by our descendants. Today’s land recovery project is an investment in the future communities who will enjoy lands in even better condition than they were before we began.

IMPACT

Employing the most reputed policies defined to certify verified emission reductions. We seek a positive balance between carbon footprint and carbon capture.

We hold this balance in mind when making every decision, from the planning stages to the operational metrics.

efficiency

Innovating new or seeking out more efficient methods for making carbon capture a profitable investment for everyone involved. We think of efficiency in the broadest sense: of the investments we make, of the effects on natural and social environments, and of the outcomes we seek.

positive balance

Our objective is to create a positive and sustainable balance between all of the Earth’s inhabitants. From the soil, the flora and fauna, the climate, and the complex social webs of the human family – we want to make investing in the health of all a profitable option for many generations.
