Case study of our customer l'aventure Michelin: The Climate Partner projects that our customers can support are selected to focus on the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals and fulfill many of the goals directly with measures on the ground.

In 2022, the French customer l'aventure Michelin commissioned nagels to produce their tickets. The customer wanted this production to be climate-neutral. To this end, the nagels team calculated the costs for offsetting and presented a corresponding Climate Partner project.

166 kg of CO₂ neutralized: Tickets that protect the rainforest and improve lives

166 kg of CO² had to be neutralized for the production of the tickets. This was achieved with the combined project VERs + Regional Commitment. This is a project initiated by the Schutzgemeinschaft Deutscher Wald e.V. (German Forest Protection Association). Carbon offsetting is carried out entirely via a climate protection project that is certified according to international standards. The project protects over 97,000 hectares (climatepartner.com/1056) protects the forest in Pará on the Brazilian Amazon estuary and avoids commercial deforestation. It creates alternative sources of income for the local families, e.g. through trade in the açaí fruit. The largest Colombian REDD+ project protects 1,150,200 hectares of rainforest and preserves its biodiversity (climatepartner.com/1402). It provides education, healthcare, sanitation, food security and other social services for 16,000 indigenous people.

Climate protection is doubly effective with CO₂ offsetting worldwide and new trees in Germany

In addition, as a combined project, one tree is planted in Germany for every tonne of CO² offset, thus helping German forests to adapt to climate change.

nagels supports all customers in calculating the additional costs to have their own project produced in a climate-friendly way. Get in touch - nagels will be happy to advise you.

Improved livelihoods and income opportunities for 800 families in one of Brazil's poorest regions.

As part of the project, an agricultural food production program was created that enables 3,600 families to ensure their own food security and adequate nutrition. In addition, the project supports around 800 elderly people in the community with food and necessities.

The project improves the health and well-being of around 16,000 people by offering first aid training, building six community health centers and providing the necessary materials. A dental care campaign was also carried out as part of the project.

As part of the project, a training and education program for the administration and management of local natural resources was developed. In 2018 and 2019, more than 120 local young people received financial support for their education. The project has also provided 13 schools with foundation funds to support children in their education.

The project has created jobs for the local population and trained hundreds of guards and captains to carry out the project activities. It also promotes entrepreneurship among the local population in the areas of agriculture, traditional crafts and tourism.

Production of organic açaí and sustainable agroforestry products instead of deforestation.

The project saves around 72,330 tons of CO2 emissions per year.

The project contributes to the protection of wetlands and water networks: 78 sub-catchments and numerous water catchment areas are of crucial importance for the species in the forest and all have their own valuable ecosystem. The project will conserve 136 fish species.

The project helps to preserve the rich biodiversity of the area, including 249 bird species, 198 butterfly species, 33 dung beetle species and 121 plant species. Many of these species are rare or endemic.

The project strengthens the administration in the area by improving the capacity and connectivity of the authorities. The project trains and educates the communities about their rights and obligations in the indigenous reserve within the country's constitutional and legal framework.
