KAURI CAB Group Berlin

Participant ID: DE-2800-1221

Valid until: 06.04.2024

This certificate guarantees that the reported quantity of 201 tons CO2 has been calculated according to Greenhouse Gas Protocol Standard, scopes 1, 2 and 3. The resulting emissions have been saved in Gold Standard and VCS tested climate projects.

KAURI CAB Group Berlin has acquired shares (certificates) in climate protection projects corresponding to the calculated volume of CO2 and therefore plays a transparent part in the realisation of the projects. This ensures that the company compensates for its own CO2 emissions, and thus scales back the rise in global warming.

The projects have been certified, and the issue and closure of the certificates is registered transparently.

KAURI CAB Group Berlin is therefore a voluntary participant in emissions trading, and thus makes a contribution to maintaining a viable environment by reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases. The holder of this certificate makes a sustainable contribution to the commitment to tackle global warming.

Carbon positive: The 67 tons of CO2 identified in the GHG greenhouse gas emissions report were additionally offset with +200% certificates, i.e. three times. This makes the company carbon positive.

ADPML Pacajai Portel-Para REDD Forrest Project

Brazil

Avoided Deforestation Project (Manaus) Limited (ADPML) 

The project is located within the Amazon, the largest remaining rainforest on our planet. The Amazon is known for its amazing biodiversity; home to 10% of all species, including some endangered species that rely on it for their survival.

THE PROJECT IS IN AN AREA OF EXTREME IMPORTANCE FOR BIODIVERSITY CONSERVATION.
According to the Brazilian Ministry of Environment, this area holds a great diversity and abundance of species, not only important for the maintenance of ecological relationships, but also of socio-economic importance such as Brazil nut trees and other noble tree species.

THE KEY PROJECT ACTIVITIES INCLUDE:
  • Providing training on forest and biodiversity monitoring and management and opportunities to work as a monitoring/enforcement staff.
  • Enhancing community’s organizational capabilities.
  • Providing legal land-ownership rights versus results for conservation.
  • Providing capacity building on steps to gain land use rights over Government owned forests.
  • Providing capacity building in agroforestry techniques and implement agroforestry pilots.
  • Providing capacity building on improved efficiency cook stoves and implement cook stove pilots.
  • Providing capacity building to develop small sustainable business.
  • Providing capacity building to cattle ranchers that move inside the Project Boundary.

SOCIAL AND SUSTAINABILITY BENEFITS
The project is contributing to sustainable development: 

  • Stimulate the creation of jobs linked to forest management.
  • Training in forest management.
  • Supports critical biodiversity habitats.
VCS guarantees the transparency and accuracy of carbon accounting and CCB guarantees positive social and environmental benefits. The Gold Level Award is an additional guarantee of the exceptional social and environmental co-benefits of the project.

Vichada Forest Restoration

Colombia

Transforming fragile savannah lands into biodiverse forests to combat climate change

The Context

Situated nearby the Colombia–Venezuela border, the Vichada Climate Reforestation project is in an area that was previously a savannah and lacked investment due to its marginal, hard-to-reach location.

The Project
The project combines both reforestation and afforestation activities with biodiversity protection and ecosystem regeneration, ultimately transforming degraded savannah lands into close-to-nature forests that both produce high quality hardwoods and sequester large amounts of carbon. These forests offer a natural habitat for native wildlife, enrich the soil, save and filter water and help mitigate the greenhouse effect by acting as a carbon sink.

The Benefits
The Vichada Climate Reforestation project generates a range of significant environmental and socio-economic benefits. By mixing afforestation and reforestation activities, the project conserves remaining forests and promotes ecosystem interconnectivity by establishing ecological corridors. This improves biodiversity, and studies on the local flora have been developed through collaboration between regional NGOs. The project further protects natural resources, with trees shielding the soil from erosion to prevent flooding and optimise water quality. Where possible, minimal amounts of only the least harmful pesticides are used, softening the environmental impact of chemicals. Income from secure job opportunities with legal protections for workers helps alleviate local poverty, with leadership and development programs also offered to employees. 
The project is run by a multicultural team of men and women, and educates the community on climate change and the importance of sustainability activities. 
Community educational opportunities are further improved by capacity building programs in local schools.
