News That Grows: Reforestation Stories

The Corporate Carbon Concession (CCC) is a long-term pre-purchase of carbon credits designed for companies seeking a future, stable supply of high-quality credits. The CCC secures access to a supply of carbon credits over decades, supporting both climate goals and sustainable forest management.

 

 

 

After the crediting period, we maintain permanent forest cover. Unlike conventional carbon projects, we ensure the permanence of carbon benefits through the careful and sustainable use of timber.  This provides an economic incentive for local communities not to clear the forest.

 

Regrowing forests that lack a tangible use or value for local communities often results in subsequent deforestation at alarming rates. It is reasonable to assume that this pattern will also apply to carbon projects after their crediting periods. To counter this, we selectively extract timber and rely on a combination of active replanting and natural regeneration to close canopy gaps. The responsible harvesting of timber creates long-term jobs and income, even after all carbon certificates have been issued.

Through the CCC, companies receive a future stream of high-quality reforestation-based carbon certificates at a fixed price, without the need to own and manage the land and the forest themselves. Concession holders may also benefit financially from future carbon credit price increases, as the CCC secures certificates at pre-defined concession payments.

Generation Forests provide significant biodiversity benefits by restoring and preserving natural ecosystems. Through reforestation and sustainable management, they constitute habitat for diverse species, support ecological functions, and improve soil and water quality. These forests help protect endangered species, promote biodiversity, and enhance resilience to climate change, ensuring the long-term health of ecosystems while contributing to climate change mitigation.

The CCC can significantly enhance your company’s branding by demonstrating a commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility. By participating in carbon offset projects and using CCCs, companies can showcase their efforts in reducing their carbon footprint, which appeals to eco-conscious consumers, investors, and stakeholders. This not only boosts corporate image but also helps build trust, differentiates the brand in a competitive market, and aligns the company with global environmental goals, potentially driving customer loyalty and increasing market value.
