Main Mission and Values
editThe mission of 12Tree is to make direct CO2 sequestration, holistic social impact, and biodiversity investable for institutional and professional investors. The company is committed to addressing the most pressing issues of our time, such as climate change mitigation, improving food and water supply, and preventing biodiversity loss. People are at the center of all activities[1].
Sustainability Goals and Initiatives
editSince 2017, 12Tree has directed investments into regenerative agriculture to achieve financial and impact-oriented returns for investors and stakeholders. The company decarbonizes agricultural production, creates and protects natural habitats and biodiversity, restores degraded landscapes, and improves rural living conditions. 12Tree has established climate-resilient, biodiverse, and productive agricultural systems in over 10 countries[2].
The regenerative agricultural systems of 12Tree use fewer inputs than conventional farms and actively sequester CO2 from the atmosphere while creating safe and fair employment opportunities. The company voluntarily certifies its projects according to standards such as FSC, UTZ, organic, or Gold Standard and employs social impact audits to establish and track key impact goals[4].
Global Presence and Projects
edit12Tree operates and develops projects in seven countries in Central and South America as well as Africa, covering a total area of 20,000 hectares. Projects include the rehabilitation of cocoa plantations, planting of native hardwoods, teak, acacias, coffee, bananas, and coconut palms in sustainable agroforestry systems[3].
By combining cutting-edge technology and best agricultural practices, 12Tree achieves outstanding yields and product prices for investors while simultaneously delivering comprehensive social and ecological benefits.
