Forests are our planet’s guardians, storing and absorbing carbon from the atmosphere in their roots, trunks, and leaves. This natural process helps mitigate climate change and maintain the balance of our ecosystem.

Carbon Cycle

Carbon is one of the main elements of life on Earth and circulates constantly between the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living beings in processes called the "carbon cycle".

In forests, the carbon cycle works through a natural balance between carbon absorption and release. Whether this carbon comes from human activities or not, a forest ecosystem often acts as a "carbon sink", that is, it absorbs more carbon than it releases.

Neutralization

Carbon storage occurs in the entire forest ecosystem. Thus, initiatives that support forests are of paramount importance to keep carbon in forest biomass.

By investing in carbon credits, companies and individuals can offset their emissions; thus encouraging the restoration of forest ecosystems, protecting biodiversity and preserving the carbon cycle.

Our Genco Eco Project

Carbon offsetting is a mechanism that allows the neutralization of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, mainly carbon dioxide (CO2), through the purchase of carbon credits. Together with ESALQ Junior Florestal, we created Genco Eco, our project that neutralizes carbon emissions in your imports.

Benefits of choosing carbon offsetting

• Mitigation of climate change;
• Incentive for environmental projects;
• Visibility;
• Ease of joining;
• Low cost.
