OUR MEMBERS

aDryada's ambition has always been to find ways to finance biodiversity protection and restoration. That's why we co-created OBC: to build a mechanism that enables a local and accurate valuation of positive impacts on biodiversity

Accelerating the financing of biodiversity actions requires a support tool for decision, which is why OBC is essential.

Ardian aims to be a world leading investor in nature restoration projects. High-quality carbon credits have been so far one of the only available tools to finance such projects, which can have a strong positive impact on biodiversity. We are convinced that biodiversity certificates will be an additional tool in the future, if it is based on a methodology with strong scientific basis, and if it is easy to use for companies. We feel that the project led by OBC meets these two criteria. We are extremely glad to be a member of the OBC and to contribute to building the certificates framework and the basis for an associated market.

ATIBT, the International Tropical Timber Technical Association, works to promote the sustainable management of tropical forests and a healthy economy that fosters social development. Our certified forest manager members implement sustainable forest management measures, thereby helping to maintain biodiversity. We are contributing to the development of biodiversity certificates as a means of supporting this modelfor preserving tropical forests.

Biota is a biodiversity project operator that offers integrated project management to its clients, th help them commit to biodiversity and climate within their territories. Biota joined the OBC to contribute to a participatory, innovative and demanding initiative for the valorization of projects useful for biodiversity.

For more than a year, we have developed our internal expertise to identify the most appropriate carbon neutrality contribution strategy. The mono-indicator approach presents its limitations and the OBC links two inseparable topics: contributing to the life and ecosystem restoration while contributing to the increase of sustainable natural carbon sinks

EcoAct strongly advocates for the need to channel financial flows towards biodiversity projects in alignment with the goals of the Global Biodiversity Framework. With more than 15 years of experience in developing methodologies and climate-benefits projects, and a strong understanding of the nature-based solutions market challenges and opportunities, we are pleased to join the OBC to participate to the development of a robust framework and support the global effort on biodiversity preservation and restoration

EcoTree carries out restoration projects of natural ecosystems in Europe and enables the contribution of companies and individuals to Nature-based Solutions. We are convinced that the elaboration of a European framework for measuring the positive impact of projects on biodiversity will accelerate the contributions of everyone to ecosystems, in addition to actions to mitigate the impacts of organizations.

Fransylva is the only organization representing forest owners in all their diversity. We joined OBC to value the services provided by sustainable forest management.

The GoodPlanet Foundation aims at making all stakeholders aware of the current environmental and social issues. It implements projects on the ground to act for the planet and its inhabitants. Our approach has always included the protection of biodiversity. OBC's proposition, of accelerating the protection of ecosystems by valuing practices that contribute to it, is up to the challenge of stopping life erosion by 2030.

Soils and biodiversity preservation have been a priority for Icade for several years. We believe that the financial valuation of actions in favor of biodiversity will allow for their propagation and, thus, an overall positive impact. That is why we are pleased to participate in OBC and the development of this mechanism of collective interest

Kering is thrilled to join the Organization for Biodiversity Certificates (OBC), a milestone that underscores our commitment to advancing science-based solutions for biodiversity conservation and restoration. By integrating OBC's rigorous methodologies into our existing initiatives, such as the projects of the Regenerative Fund for Nature, we aim to elevate and demonstrate the impact of our efforts to protect and restore ecosystems

By protecting biodiversity, we fight against climate change. The biodiversity certificate mechanism is a promising way to act effectively to fight against its collapse. Let’s build it together.

Pernod Ricard produces and sources more than 100 ingredients (wheat, barley, cane, beets, grapes, agave, botanicals, etc.) from different terroirs around the world. Attentive to natural balances, we are committed to taking care of each terroir and its biodiversity and we believe that a biodiversity index is a good tool for assessing ecosystems' health and promoting regenerating practices

Planète Urgence is an association that preserves and restores forests in the most vulnerable areas – Indonesia, Cambodia, Madagascar, Benin, Cameroon, Ecuador, and Peru. Each project aims to generate impacts on 3 levels: biodiversity, community resilience, and climate. Through its involvement in OBC, Planète Urgence wishes to improve its understanding and capacity to measure biodiversity impacts within an ecosystem.

As a forestry, vineyard and agricultural asset management company, our commitment to preserving biodiversity is at the heart of our mission. Joining the OBC reinforces our determination to promote sustainable and responsible practices, while actively contributing to the conservation of the planet's essential ecosystems. What makes this initiative even more significant is the common desire of OBC members to develop a robust framework for quality biodiversity credits. This ambition is part of a broader view: to highlight the importance of biodiversity in international discussions.

For the past 19 years, the Biodiversité Amazonienne association has been protecting almost 40,000 hectares of forests and wetlands, making up a biodiversity hotspot in the heart of the Peruvian Amazon.
Faced with multiple threats to ecosystems, we are convinced that the challenges of climate change and the preservation of biodiversity are intertwined, and need to be addressed from a comprehensive perspective, which is why we joined OBC for its innovative and inspiring approach.

Noé, as a leading NGO for the conservation of biodiversity in France and internationally for 20 years, is a field actor that will share its expertise and experience with the members of OBC. Our ambition is to see the emergence of demanding systems that will contribute to the 30/30 objective and create new models for sustainably financing the preservation of natural spaces and species diversity, the restoration of areas favorable to life, and the support of all stakeholders (individuals, institutions, companies) in reducing their pressure on nature and reconnecting with it

Fronterra, a Franco-Latin American company, works at the frontiers of deforestation and land degradation in Latin America, protecting national parks and restoring biodiverse areas. We partner with the Peruvian government to implement biodiversity credits and are keen to collaborate with OBC in developing a biodiversity certificates framework. With our expertise in forest carbon, geoscience, and community impact, we are enthusiastic about sharing our knowledge with OBC members.

At AGROMAP we develop sustainable agriculture and reforestation projects that combat climate change, enhance biodiversity, and improve the lives of farmers and their communities. We are convinced that the need for such solutions has never been greater since global warming accelerates. Nevertheless, the biodiversity gains generated by these projects are not sufficiently valued today to allow their deployment on a large scale. We find the OBC approach, which combines scientific rigor with the ease of use of biodiversity certificates for companies, convincing. This is why AGROMAP offered itself as leader of the OBC Agroforestry technical group, and leader of the deployment of biodiversity certificates in Ivory Coast. We’ll make it!
