Tout savoir sur le métier de consultant RSE
Reforest’Action is a social company created in 2010 that works daily to preserve and restore forests in France and around the world. Through a collaborative approach based on the principle of “crowdplanting”, citizens and companies can take concrete action in favor of forests by planting trees in rows. The trees are then planted in the field by our technical partners. Each plantation project has a global impact, in favor of the climate and biodiversity, and a local impact, in favor of the socio-economic development of the populations. Reforest’Action has already planted more than 17 million trees, with 300,000 Reforest’Actors and 3,000 companies, and is attracting a growing number of organizations acting within the framework of their CSR strategy or carbon approach.
To reach its goal of 1 billion trees planted in the next 10 years, Reforest’Action is linking its activities to the Voluntary Carbon Market (VCM).
The VCM is a market-based mechanism designed to reap the low-hanging fruits of climate change mitigation. It allows individuals and organizations to finance demonstrated carbon removals at an optimized cost-for-impact. As an industry, the VCM is constantly evolving to remain at the forefront of emission reductions monitoring, while continuously raising the bar in terms of credibility of the credits generated.
The Voluntary Carbon Market is expected to grow 15-fold by 2030 and demand for forest-based carbon credits is already driving the development of our reforestation and forest conservation activities.
