Reforestum operates as a platform for carbon offsetting, focusing on reforestation and forest conservation projects. Founded in 2017 by CEO Diego Sanz and co-founder Alban Bressand, the company is headquartered in Valladolid, Spain. Its genesis includes an early crowdfunding campaign that financed its first forest, which is certified as a carbon capture project by the Spanish Ministry of the Environment. The firm has secured approximately $915,000 in financing through seed and angel funding rounds in late 2020, with institutional support from Ship2B and contributions from several angel investors. Reforestum has also participated in initiatives such as Microsoft’s AI for Earth program and an accelerator program at Station F, backed by L’Oréal. The B2B model targets both corporate clients and individual consumers, with an increasing strategic emphasis on the B2B-to-B2B segment. Reforestum provides a marketplace that connects clients with a portfolio of certified conservation and afforestation projects. Revenue is generated by enabling these clients to purchase forest shares and carbon credits to compensate for their carbon emissions. This approach allows organizations to fund projects based on specific metrics like their carbon footprint or budget. The core service is a digital platform designed to bring a higher degree of transparency and traceability to the carbon offset market. It features monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV) tools that allow clients to track the progress of the projects they fund in near-real time. For its corporate clients, the platform offers features like corporate profiles to showcase their environmental commitments. Beyond just offsetting, Reforestum also offers consulting services to help entities select and plan the right projects to meet their sustainability goals.
