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.
166 kg of CO₂ emissions offset: Support for a rainforest conservation project
To offset the CO₂ emissions generated by the production of the admission tickets, 166 kg of CO₂ had to be offset. This was achieved through the combined VERs + Regional Engagement project. This initiative was launched by the Schutzgemeinschaft Deutscher Wald e.V. (German Forest Protection Association). The project protects over 97,000 hectares (climatepartner.com/1056) protects the forest in Pará at the mouth of the Amazon River in Brazil and prevents commercial deforestation. It creates alternative sources of income for local families, such as through the trade in açaí fruit. The largest Colombian REDD+ project protects 1,150,200 hectares of rainforest and preserves its biodiversity (climatepartner.com/1402). It provides education, health care, sanitation, food security, and other social services for 16,000 Indigenous people.
CO₂ Offsetting Combined with Reforestation Projects in Germany
As part of a complementary initiative, one tree is planted in Germany for every metric ton of CO₂ offset, thereby helping German forests adapt to climate change.

10 of 17 targets supported
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.
