Carbonext Supports All Actions that Uphold the Integrity of Carbon Credits

At Carbonext, we take pride in always defending best practices and upholding the highest global standards of socio-environmental and corporate integrity in all our activities. 
Integrity is, after all, the backbone of the carbon credit concept—a space where we are pioneers in Brazil. 

Integrity means that forest asset certification is conducted using auditable, internationally recognized standards. In other words, that environmental compensation for carbon emissions truly corresponds to living, standing trees. Real ones. 

But integrity goes far beyond that. It ensures that a substantial share of the proceeds from environmental assets is reinvested directly into forest protection and benefits for the communities living within. 

Carbon credits are more than an economic activity. They are a bold yet feasible economic solution inspired by the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) from the Kyoto Protocol (1997)—a mechanism to promote conservation, sustainability, and environmental protection, contribute to solving social issues in the Amazon, fight climate change, and save the planet. 

This is why Carbonext has always supported efforts to fight illegality and deforestation, and we publicly commend recent government actions to crack down on fraud and criminal behavior that threaten to compromise the integrity of the carbon credit chain. 

Our position has always been, and will continue to be, one of total transparency and full compliance with legal obligations. The law and ethics are our greatest allies. Our business depends on the public trust in documents issued by official authorities. The State has, for us, a fundamental and irreplaceable role. 

Amazon carbon credits represent a wealth capable of resolving the false dichotomy between development and sustainability. As companies transition to cleaner energy, they must offset their indirect emissions (known as Scope 3). The environmental assets of the world’s largest tropical forest are an unparalleled competitive advantage. This is a unique opportunity—one that Brazil cannot afford to waste. For that, law and order must prevail in the Amazon. 

At Carbonext, we are driven by the greatness of a mission: to protect the Amazon and the future. That’s why we would never tolerate any lesser interest interfering with something much greater than ourselves—life on this planet.
