Ecotierra among the Carbon Pricing Champions

The Sherbrooke company Ecotierra is one of the Carbon Pricing Champions, alongside major players like Philips, Nestlé, and Unilever.

Ecotierra is a leader: it is one of the first 25 companies in the world to join the project.

To gain this recognition, Ecotierra made a commitment to adopt the business leadership criteria regarding carbon pricing put forward by Caring for Climate, a joint initiative of the UN Global Compact, UN Environment Programme, and the secretariat of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change:

“Set an internal carbon price high enough to materially affect investment decisions to drive down greenhouse gas emissions”
Publicly advocate the importance of carbon pricing in each country
Communicate progress on the two criteria above in public corporate reports

Founded in 2011, Ecotierra develops forestry and agriculture projects that generate high-quality carbon credits. It has offices in Sherbrooke, Peru, and Colombia.
