Tailored for companies
We believe in the power of 'tailor-made' collaboration.
What goals does your organization have in terms of offsetting CO2 emissions? We are happy to help you find the right solution for your company.
Examples
- Donate 1 m2 of forest per product sold.
- Offsetting the CO2 emissions of the entire company.
- Compensate for your employees daily commute
- Reforestation based on annual profits.
Plenty of options and tax deductible!
Concrete action
- Calculate your company's CO₂ emissions using our calculator.
- We determine how many hectares are reforested for compensation.
- Your employees donate the trees and the labour.
- Your suppliers/customers help expand this area.
- You have a 'company forest' to be proud of!
Corporate social responsibility and CO₂ neutral entrepreneurship is more the rule than the exception these days. Customers and consumers select companies based on their green image.
- We are happy to help you deliver the necessary social media content.
- We can also provide a certificate for your 'social annual report'.
- In addition, the investment in 'your forest' is also tax-deductible.
- Donate an annual amount of your choice; e.g. a percentage of company profit.
- Donate a percentage per product sold.
- One-time donation for the purchase of an important plot on our wish list.
- Give a piece of the jungle as a gift! You will receive a certificate from us stating the number of m² of forest you've protected.
- As a birthday/Christmas gift for employees: a certificate for part of your company forest. Finally you have a really nice gift to give!
Naturally! You can come to CR to see 'your' forest and do some other beautiful excursions. With donations from € 30,000.- a stay in our guesthouse in Costa Rica is included.
Your stay can also be combined with an executive training (leadership/ communication/ personal growth).
Calculation
To give an idea of how the cost price of reforestation is determined, below you will find the calculation for the surface area of 1 football field (0.5 hectares).
| Purchase 1 soccer field worth of land | € 2.000 |
| 410 cultivated trees | € 410 |
| Planting and maintenance for 10 years | € 590 |
| Total costs | € 3.000 |
Reforestation is more expensive than protecting existing jungle because no trees need to be planted/ maintained. For more information about the calculations please contact us.
There are two pillars for the purchase of land:
1. existing forest (to protect).
2. pasture land (for reforestation).
Our preference is to reforest pasture land, because that way we expand the amount of forest. And pasture land is easier to use than, for example, old palm oil plantations.
We buy existing forest if it is threatened by commercial activities (logging) and/or is located in a crucial place in the corridor. Usually a plot consists of both pasture land and forest, so we can serve both purposes in 1 sale.
Purchasing and protecting existing forest is cheaper than (labour-intensive) reforestation.
An average person emits 7.5 tons of CO₂ annually (transport & energy at home). [source].
Assuming 1 tree per 12m² and an annual CO₂ absorption of 30 kg per tree, compensation for 1 person requires 0.3 hectares of forest with 250 trees.
We use a cost price of € 1.95 per planted tree (excl. purchase of the land).
