DGB invests, manages and develops projects to generate nature compensation in the form of biodiversity offsets and carbon offsets. Demand for biodiversity and carbon offsets is expected to grow rapidly over the next few years as countries and companies strive to meet climate targets.
The world’s ancient and endangered forests are being logged at an alarming rate, putting species and communities at risk. DGB works with companies and their suppliers to develop business solutions that protect these endangered forests through carbon offsetting and biodiversity offsetting projects.
DGB plans to reforest the world’s land at scale and bring back nature where it cannot return unaided. DGB is the world’s first publicly traded purpose company focused on restoring ecosystems biodiversity and nature conservation through carbon offsetting.
The scale of global ecosystem restoration that needs to be undertaken in the coming years is almost unimaginable, but it represents an exciting opportunity for the capital markets and for private individuals.
There is a need in the world to improve and scale up both mandatory and voluntary nature compensation, especially for offsetting carbon emissions.
DGB’s projects generate nature offsets which compensate individual’s or company’s damage to nature and impact on the environment by funding an equivalent elsewhere. DGB currently produces the following nature offsets:
- Carbon offsetting credits
- Biodiversity offsetting credits
- Tailor-made wildlife protection credits
DGB is underpinned by:
- the value of the carbon offsets generated from its nature-based projects which it sells to customers
- recurring revenue generated from its nature-based projects
- the inherent asset value of the underlying land in which it is investing.
We have mapped a large number of opportunities and locations globally where there are existing plans to realise new natural habitats. Landowners who want to engage in purposeful development of their land play an important role in these opportunities.
Due to decentralisation and the course of shared societal responsibility (the implementation of) nature policy in the world has changed in recent years. The current situation makes it possible to make nature-based solutions feasible through carbon offsetting projects that generate carbon offsets.
