How we develop reforestation projects

From degraded pasture to certified forest.

We develop afforestation, reforestation and revegetation (ARR) projects through a structured, stage-gated process. Each stage reduces risk before capital scales.

Why our approach works

We eliminate the predictable failure modes before implementation begins.

High-quality ARR projects fail for predictable reasons: unclear land tenure, weak carbon models, underfunded early stages, and communities engaged too late. Our process is built to eliminate these failure modes before implementation begins.

Our process

Six stages, one disciplined process.

We approach project opportunities through a structured, stage-gated process, from first screening to certification and MRV, to develop viable and high-quality projects.

01

Screening

Every project opportunity is assessed against our quality framework — eligibility, land tenure, additionality, and a first view of carbon potential. Only opportunities that clear the bar advance.

02

Feasibility

We confirm the project stands on solid ground: land tenure and regulatory position, carbon modelling against conservative benchmarks, and financial viability — with an independent pre-issuance rating and field validation on site.

03

Design

We design the project around buyer, investor and certification requirements: CCP-approved methodologies, credible baselines, benefit sharing co-designed with local communities, and stakeholder consultations and Free, Prior, and Informed Consent done properly. The result is a project built to certify, issue and sell.

04

Development

Registration, validation, nursery establishment, and planting with our local operational partners. Development capital is deployed against defined milestones.

05

Monitoring & technical support

Through GreenBranch OS, our proprietary platform, we combine satellite data with field measurement for continuous monitoring and adaptive management — and provide ongoing technical support to the project on the ground, for the whole project lifetime.

06

Finance & carbon sales

We structure the finance and commercialise the removals through our buyer network — spot, forward and long-term offtake — turning verified forest growth into issued, sold credits.
