An Opportunity for Companies and Entrepreneurs
Start reducing your carbon footprint today
And take back money from your own trees
You’ve probably heard about what’s coming, what’s looming, what’s inevitable. Terms like ESG, sustainability, greenhouse gases, carbon neutrality, and so forth. At first glance, it seems like another bureaucratic and political burden that gradually awaits every company or business right down to the last self-employed person.
Only few realize that these subjects bring not only additional costs but also opportunities! And not just for companies specializing in related areas. But for absolutely every single company – including yours!
A bit of theory
In 2016, the so-called Paris Climate Agreement was signed, resulting in the commitment of states from practically the entire developed world to gradually reduce the production of greenhouse gases. The agreed plan states that by 2030 there will be a reduction of 55% and by 2050 we will achieve full carbon neutrality.
Note: There are many opinions in the world on our Earth’s climate changes. Some support theories on which the Paris Agreement is based, others criticize or directly refute them. The point of this text and the given opportunity is not to assess, agree, or disagree with either side of these discussions!
This opportunity is based on the facts resulting from the approach of governments and international associations (like the EU) and their intention to fulfill the goals of the Paris Agreement. It is certain that it will impact the daily life of every person, without exception.
The goals of this agreement pose companies of all sizes and business sectors, among other things, the question of how to offset the carbon footprint of all activities associated with the operation of the company. From the selection of suppliers, the type of energy used, production/manufacturing, and transport to the distribution of products to end customers. The entire agreement’s scope is much broader, but that is not the subject of this website.
Secure your own trees, create your own carbon credits!
Trees have this amazing feature that they absorb carbon dioxide, one of the greenhouse gases mentioned, and release oxygen back into the atmosphere (everyone knows this, of course).
This applies not only to wild trees or rainforests. Even the trees grown in the My Trees project on specialized farms in Latin America can do it! They generate carbon credits, which can be used as a compensation offset program for reducing the carbon footprint.
Money for trees pays back generously
Trees, besides converting CO2 to O2, also grow! One hectare of fast-growing eucalyptus gains about 25 cubic meters of wood mass (and 4 meters in height) per year. By purchasing My Trees, you invest in trees whose value increases each year, and when the time comes (the value of the wood mass outweighs the value of the carbon credits), the trees are processed, and you get a profit from the traded wood mass.
It is a very lucrative investment with very low risk. It is an investment that does not correlate directly with economic cycles and is therefore not so dependent on the state of the economy, its health. The My Trees project has demonstrated viability during all recent crises: economic, pandemic, war, and energy (it benefits from the latter!)…
The My Trees project as a provider of the highest quality carbon credits
The essence of the My Trees project lies in planting so-called fast-growing trees (like eucalyptus pellita, for example). We’re talking here about tens to hundreds of thousands of trees on our farms (currently, just under 200,000 trees are planted) in Colombia.
Trees, as we know, absorb carbon dioxide and produce oxygen. So they are perfectly ideal as clean and high-quality carbon offsets. Thanks to our local partner, our farms have the correct and necessary certifications (like “The Gold Standard” for instance) and can therefore be used for carbon offset programs.
What does all this mean?
All of this suggests that reducing the carbon footprint with My Trees brings companies several benefits, both: direct, financial, and indirect, but that much more interesting:
Reducing carbon footprint as a prestigious affair
Reducing environmental impacts is increasingly seen as a prestigious affair. "Dirty" companies generally have a worse reputation, which can impact the end customer who more often chooses the more environmentally responsible company in a competitive environment among companies.
My Trees are precisely what you need to tell the whole world, and especially your customers, that your company behaves responsibly and sustainably!
Reducing carbon footprint as a competitive advantage
Reducing environmental impacts will be more and more important in terms of the company's survival! Environmentally responsible companies will get, for example, more favorable conditions for bank loans and will be preferred as part of the supply chain of larger companies.
It's a matter of the next few years when ESG reporting and later mandatory carbon reduction become an integral part of every company.
Reducing carbon footprint as add. income from wood mass
The trees on My Trees farms are grown with the aim of later processing and sale. As such, they not only have their CO2 capturing value but also an investment value!
The My Trees project offers a brilliant combination of the carbon offset program with an investment in fast-growing trees, providing additional income and their compensation for companies that behave responsibly.
It’s up to each company whether they choose to reduce the carbon footprint earlier, voluntarily, simply because they want to, because they see 1) a societal contribution and because 2) their customers will appreciate it or whether they will take the path of minimum necessary legislative steps, just to comply with the letter of the law, when it’s absolutely necessary.
Only the My Trees project offers unique added value in reducing carbon burdens in the form of a connection with an investment in fast-growing trees. This connection will give every company that joins the project a return on part of the ESG costs that will sooner or later affect each of us! Every company and every individual.
Secure enough quality carbon credits for your company!
Be ahead, secure them for yourself, for your company, and perhaps even for individual employees.
Thanks to the My Trees project, it’s possible today!
Everyone loves planting trees.
