Generate high-quality carbon credits, both avoidance and removal, linked to measurable ESG outcomes and co-benefits.
Sectors targeted
Nature-based solutions including forest conservation and management, afforestation/reforestation, wetland restoration.
Investment stage
We deploy capital in projects at early to mid-stage phase.
Long-term perspective
We aim to support long-term ecological and socio-economic impact building infrastructure and supporting local development.
Extra-financial support
We partner with sectoral and local experts to ensure environmental integrity, community engagement, and strong monitoring, reporting and verification (MRV) systems.

Dibetou
Spanning over 400,000 hectares of tropical rainforests, the project is a conservation programme which aims at protecting its rich biodiversity by tackling deforestation and forest from small-scale shifting cultivation (slash-and-burn), as well as alleviating poverty with the creation of tangible economic opportunities for local communities.
Developed in close collaboration with local and governmental authorities, the initiative ensures an inclusive approach. We have partnered with a French Nature Based Solutions developer, the Shared Wood Company, with proven track records in the development of such projects in Central Africa.
Among the various environmental strategies envisioned, the project will develop agroforestry in the rural complex and perennial crops in forested landscapes, while protecting savannahs and forest mosaics with high conservation value.
