AGROCORTEX REDD PROJECT
Emission Reduction Carbon Standards
The VCS Program is the world’s most widely used voluntary GHG program. Almost 1500 certified VCS projects have collectively reduced or removed more than 200 million tonnes of carbon and other GHG emissions from the atmosphere.

BRAZIL
"Beyond the project’s ecological and carbon benefits, a proportion of the carbon credits generated will be dedicated to improving the social and environmental conditions in the project region, specifically contributing to improving deforestation control, and developing environmental education and other social activities. The contribution to sustainability is being monitored through the application of the SOCIALCARBON® Standard, which is based on six main indicators: Biodiversity; Natural; Financial; Human; Social and Carbon Resources."
Agrocortex REDD project is registered under the Verified Carbon Standard (new name Verra since February 2018) and SOCIALCARBON®.
