Carbon quantification

Emission of carbon credits

Get high-quality carbon credits. Seriously managed projects give rise to a multitude of co-benefits, including carbon capture, which we are able to value in your extra-financial reports or on the market. As the carbon credits we generate come directly from your assets, they benefit from exceptional traceability.

EcoTree

KPI's biodiversity

Enrich your carbon actions by integrating biodiversity for a complete, long-term environmental impact. To ensure the sustainability of the projects we carry out, we take into account the challenges of preserving and enhancing biodiversity. Concrete recommendations are made, actions are then taken and monitoring over time gives rise to detailed reports that are shared with you. These reports help to better assess your impact and reinforce the legitimacy of your CSR strategy.

Meeting compensation and reporting objectives

We worked with a French property developer to implement reforestation projects covering 22 hectares. These projects generated more than 4,000 carbon credits, which were included in the company's CSR report, enabling it to meet the growing expectations of its stakeholders in terms of environmental impact while contributing to the carbon neutrality of its projects.

EcoTree

A precise assessment of natural assets to guide its CSR strategy

An international tourism company decided to carry out a detailed inventory of its natural assets, to assess their condition and value. This inventory formed a solid basis on which to build its environmental strategy in a way that was effective and met its customers' expectations in terms of sustainability.

EcoTree

Optimising your forestry assets

A major banking group decided to assess its forestry assets, covering several thousand hectares, by integrating the carbon and biodiversity dimensions. Thanks to this collaboration, we have become a trusted partner, regularly called upon to help various group entities optimise their forestry assets and their contribution to the group's CSR objectives.

EcoTree

Maximising the value of your forestry assets

A private landowner was considering selling his forest and approached us to obtain a full estimate of the value of his forestry assets, from the value of the land and the standing timber, to the projected income from silviculture, as well as the benefits in terms of carbon, biodiversity and recreation. Having realised the potential of his woodland, he finally decided to conserve it and capitalise on it by undertaking improvement work, thereby optimising the asset itself and its environmental impact.
