Biodiversity credits program
Our biodiversity credit program is still undergoing certification and might have changes based on legal compliance and international scientific feedback in the coming months. Currently, we are offering:
50% of biodiversity credit revenue to the Grower who originated the credit within 60 days of sale.
7% of Savimbo equity is distributed between biodiversity of carbon Growers who have completed a successful year on their contract.
Enrollment is ongoing, please contact your local office to see if this program is available at your site yet.
Savimbo pays local monitoring staff a monthly salary independent of sales, provides equipment, identify and categorizes species, and performs scientific and market advocacy for the credit to be adopted on international markets.
Grower carbon contracts
Our contracts are designed to be transparent, fair, and scalable.
-
Please read the sample contracts fully, but take note of the following elements.
- We do annual recurring contracts.
- Growers get 20% of all revenue from their credits.
- We subsidize growers with monthly micropayments in advance (like fair-trade coffee). -
Our growers are independent. They own their own land, and their own trees, and we like it that way. We are a bit like a farming collective, or an agro-futures market. We help our growers aggregate to sell their crop of carbon credits internationally which gives them more economic power.
-
We believe in aligned incentives. Everyone we work with has the same motivations, and benefits from the same outcome: store carbon = make money = improve lives.
