BaumInvest AG

BaumInvest AG is a renowned company that has been active in sustainable forestry since 2007, aiming to combine economic aspects with ecological responsibility and social action. Founded as a pioneer in the reforestation of tropical forest landscapes in Costa Rica, the company has developed into a significant player in sustainable mixed forest reforestation with native tree species.

• Reforestation and Forestry: BaumInvest has so far converted about 2,000 hectares of land, mainly former pasture areas, into permanent mixed forests. Around 20 native tree species are used, enabling continuous harvesting and an optimized value chain[1][2][3].
• CO2 Certificates and Climate Protection: The company offers various CO2 product portfolios, including CO2 certificates, CO2 forest units, and CO2 corporate forests. All projects are certified according to the Gold Standard, a globally recognized seal of approval for sustainability and climate protection[2][3].
• Wood Processing and Distribution: BaumInvest processes and distributes valuable timber from sustainable production and develops high-quality, durable products[1][3].
• Forestry Consulting and Education: The company offers forestry consulting services and promotes the training and education of the local population[1][3].

The mission of BaumInvest is to enable a livable future for current and future generations in harmony with nature. The company strives to make a significant contribution to climate protection by committing to the continuous growth and preservation of near-natural reforestation and natural forest areas. Sustainability is the core component of the corporate culture, and the company is committed to a sustainable future in all areas[2][3].

• CO2 Storage and Climate Protection: Through reforestation with native tree species, CO2 is permanently removed from the atmosphere and stored. By 2020, over 175,000 tons of CO2 had already been sequestered[3].
• Biodiversity and Ecosystems: BaumInvest creates biodiversity corridors and improves the ecosystem through reforestation with site-adapted tree species. Endangered animal species such as soldier macaws, tapirs, and jaguars benefit from the created habitats[1][3].
• Social Responsibility: The company creates long-term jobs, promotes local infrastructure, and provides housing and self-sufficiency opportunities for employees. It places great importance on gender equality and offers regular training and first aid courses[1][3].
• International Expansion: Since 2022, BaumInvest has also been expanding into Colombia, implementing its sustainable forestry concepts there[2][3].

BaumInvest has been awarded multiple times for its sustainability efforts, including a nomination for the German Sustainability Award in the forestry category. All reforestation projects are certified according to the Gold Standard, meeting the highest quality requirements in the voluntary carbon market[3].

BaumInvest AG is thus a pioneer in sustainable forestry, having a positive impact on the environment, the local population, and the global climate situation through its integrated approach of ecology, economy, and social responsibility.
