Our Risk Management Framework and our actions for a green world and caring for the environment
The risk management framework is fundamental to the successful implementation and long-term stability of our sustainable reforestation projects. Our approach for a green world allows us to identify potential risks and develop effective countermeasures to address them.
RISK ASSESSMENT
Environmental Risks
Climate Change
Climate change poses significant risks to reforestation efforts. To mitigate them, we select species adapted to climate change and develop contingency plans for extreme weather events, ensuring project resilience.
Spread of Diseases in Species
Disease outbreaks can decimate plant populations, delaying projects and requiring investments in resistant or alternative species.
Pest Infestation
Diversity in plant species reduces vulnerability to pests and strengthens the ecological robustness of reforested areas. Crop rotation helps to reduce the propagation niche of potential pests and prevents them from reproducing and affecting the permanent crop.
Unexpected Soil Degradation
Undetected soil conditions can hinder plant growth, requiring complex remediation or changes in species used.
Financial Risks
Market Volatility
Market fluctuations affect financing and revenues. Flexible financial planning and diversification of species and income sources mitigate these uncertainties.
Delays in Fundraising
Delays in funding could cripple operations. We strategically adjust operations to available funding.
Cost Surge
Increases in the cost of essential materials, such as seeds or tools, can inflate budgets. In-house seedling production helps reduce this risk.
Exchange Rate Fluctuations
For projects funded with foreign currencies, exchange rate fluctuations can impact the available budget. Holding capital in different currencies mitigates this impact.
Social Risks
Local Community Acceptance
Relating to local communities and contributing to local infrastructure is vital to care for the environment, acceptance and success of the project.
Working Conditions
We guarantee high labor standards, complying with local and international standards.
Local Political Changes
To minimize the impact of changes in governance or land use laws on project approvals and restrictions, we stay in close contact with authorities and respond at an early stage.
Community Disputes
Insufficient consultation or inadequate distribution of benefits, could lead to conflicts that disrupt or delay projects, which is avoided with fair distribution and transparent communication. This is directly related to the reduction of environmental pollution.
Operational Risks
Permitting Delays
Efficient administrative processes and proactive communication with authorities are key to avoid delays.
Human Resource Management
A positive work environment and fair compensation keep morale high and ensure efficient executions.
Equipment Failures
Regular maintenance and backup equipment minimize significant delays.
Data Management
Loss of critical data would affect monitoring and strategic decision making. We implement data backup and mirroring systems.
Climate Risks
Alterations of the Amazon Hydrological Cycle
We implement specific measures, such as crop forms, water storage and drought-resistant species, to mitigate risks.
Severe Droughts or Floods
Extreme weather events impact plant survival rates. We install irrigation and drainage systems to counteract these effects.
Increased Fire Risk
In fire-prone areas, we strengthen prevention measures and prepare recovery plans.
GENERAL RISK MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES FOR A GREEN WORLD
Selection of Climate-Adapted Species
- Implementation: We collaborate with agricultural universities, research institutions, and environmental experts to identify suitable species.
- Monitoring: We measure growth rates, survival, and environmental impact, adjusting selection accordingly.
Engagement with Local Communities
- Implementation: We conduct regular community consultations and involve residents in the planning and execution of the project, as well as the actions to care for the environment that they consider most relevant. We offer employment and training, as well as investing in local infrastructure.
- Monitoring: We evaluate social impact and adapt strategies according to local needs.
Revenue Diversification
- Implementation: We diversify funding sources (environmental investors, ecotourism, funds) and explore by-products such as CO₂ certificates.
- Monitoring: We track market conditions and revenues with financial management tools, adapting strategies to ensure sustainability.
Strengthening Operational Efficiency
- Implementation: We use advanced management tools, train personnel and maintain strong relationships with suppliers.
- Monitoring: We track key performance indicators (KPIs) and conduct regular operational risk audits.
Environmental Safeguards Improvements
- Implementation: We use integrated pest management (IPM) and soil conservation techniques, designing biodiversity corridors.
- Monitoring: We evaluate soil quality and biodiversity levels, cultivation methods, adapting practices according to data obtained.
RESPONSIBILITIES AND FUTURE PLANS
Risk management is currently part of the team’s duties. In the future for a green world, an independent team will be formed and the use of insurance to mitigate potential impacts will be evaluated.
