Let's be honest: a business model that does not take the environment and nature into account - either in the form of protection or restoration of nature - is no longer a viable business model today or in the future. But how do you ensure that projects to restore nature are actually "legitimate"? When you seek out nature-based projects (NbS) to meet the ever-growing sustainability goals, performing due diligence on potential projects is crucial. Cases like the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA) have shown that relying solely on certificates is not enough—a project that suffers from various flaws thorough due diligence may have identified earlier. To avoid shortcomings, you need extended, comprehensive due diligence that also focuses on the following key aspects: ↪️ Environmental assessments to understand a project's effects on biodiversity ↪️ Social impact studies consulting local communities to identify cultural concerns ↪️ Financial modeling through cost-benefit analyses ensuring outcomes outweigh costs ↪️ Expertise in evaluating technical feasibility and mitigation of greenhouse gases Due diligence will allow you to make well-informed decisions that balance returns with responsible, long-term impacts. Unfortunately, these steps are often overlooked in practice. That’s why recarb® thoroughly checks all the points in a reforestation nature-based project. How do you ensure the project you're investing in is high-quality? 💭 📑 source: carbonmarketwatch(.)org #recarb #biodiversity #nature #naturerestoration #natureduediligence #naturefinance

🌳 'The business case for nature should be centre stage, and has the potential to be transformative.' 🐾 Read our Co-founder Maria Eugenia Filmanovic's thoughts on insetting and Scope 3 emissions in Reuters. Maria argues that insetting poses a real opportunity to get desperately needed corporate finance flowing into nature-based solutions, particularly given the Science Based Targets initiative's recent stance on the potential use of crediting mechanisms within company value chains. For more on how insetting can be scaled to tackle Scope 3 emissions, download Abatable and the International Platform for Insetting (IPI)'s report: https://lnkd.in/dEbYHyKD #Scope3 #EmissionsReduction #ClimateAction #Biodiversity #Nature #Sustainability #SBTi

♻️ #EnvironmentalSustainability is at the heart of everything we do. Each of our projects undergoes thorough Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA) to ensure we are minimizing our ecological footprint and maximizing positive outcomes for the communities we serve. Our #EIA process begins at the initial stages of project planning. We conduct extensive studies to understand the potential impacts on local ecosystems, wildlife, water resources, and communities. These assessments involve: 🔸 Data collection: Gathering detailed information about the local environment through field studies, satellite imagery, and consultations with local experts. 🔸 Impact analysis: Identifying potential environmental impacts and evaluating their significance. 🔸 Mitigation planning: Developing strategies to avoid, minimize, or offset negative impacts, ensuring that our projects align with the highest sustainability standards. 🔸 Community engagement: Engaging with local communities to gather their input and address any concerns, fostering transparency and trust. 🌱 Our Commitment in Action: 🔹 Solar anergy projects: From the deserts of the Middle East to the plains of Australia, each solar plant is designed with sustainability in mind, using advanced technologies to reduce land use and preserve natural habitats. 🔹 Innovative solutions: Implementing #BatteryEnergyStorage Systems (BESS) and green hydrogen production to enhance the efficiency and sustainability of our energy solutions. By integrating comprehensive environmental assessments and innovative technologies, we are leading the way in sustainable energy development. We work day by day to drive the #GlobalTransition to a greener future, ensuring that every step we take is in harmony with the environment.

What is Sustainable Growth? Sustainable growth is the concept of expanding economies and businesses without depleting natural resources or causing long-term environmental harm. It's about finding a balance between economic development and environmental preservation. Companies and governments focus on reducing waste, promoting renewable energy, and using resources efficiently to meet the needs of the present while safeguarding the planet for future generations. In practice, sustainable growth encourages the use of eco-friendly technologies, circular economies, and green infrastructure. For businesses, it means creating value while minimizing their environmental impact. For governments, it involves policies that promote responsible consumption, renewable energy, and environmental stewardship. The goal is to ensure that growth can be maintained without exhausting the Earth's finite resources. At the heart of sustainable growth is a shift in mindset, one that prioritizes long-term well-being over short-term profits. It involves investing in renewable energy, reducing carbon footprints, and enhancing biodiversity. To learn more about how we are applying sustainable growth principles at our self-sustainable city project, read our blog articles here https://lnkd.in/gU3nFcHh #SustainableGrowth #GreenInfrastructure #CircularEconomy #RenewableEnergy #EcoFriendlyLiving #SelfSustainableCity #EnvironmentalStewardship
