The REDD+ Business Initiative (RBI) is a non-commercial initiative with the aim to mobilize businesses to voluntary use certified carbon credits from  REDD+ projects to offset their unavoidable carbon emissions. By doing so our company members help safeguard undisturbed rainforests for their huge CO2 storage capacity, their wealth of biodiversity and the ecosystem services they deliver to local and global communities.
As most REDD+ projects are not only based on the sale of carbon credits but also on the sale of sustainable commodities, also companies that wish to purchase such commodities from REDD+ projects are welcome as members of RBI.
RBI aims to contribute to the further development of REDD+ and the still fragmented voluntary carbon market in a practical way, highlighting good practices and solutions rather than focussing on problems.
The purposes of the REDD+ Business Initiative and it’s mode of operation are secured in a Memorandum of Understanding, signed in the Spring of 2020.
