Restoration approach

How re.green restores native forests.

Carbon Direct describes the methods it reviewed for re.green’s Microsoft agreement.

01

Select degraded land

Carbon Direct describes re.green's use of satellite imagery, drones and spatial models to identify and prioritise sites.

02

Rebuild native forest

The company restores Atlantic Forest and Amazon landscapes with native species. Carbon Direct reported a list of 300 native species at the time of its assessment.

03

Supply and monitor

Carbon Direct assessed nursery capacity, seed supply, long-term maintenance and credit delivery risk for the Microsoft agreement.

Commercial and delivery relationships

Who finances, assesses and buys re.green’s work.

Each relationship has its own role and source. The agreements and company portfolio are wider than the Southern Bahia plan with Nestlé.

Carbon removal offtake

Microsoft

Two agreements announced in 2024 and 2025 cover up to 6.5 million tonnes of removals from a proposed 33,000 hectares across the Atlantic Forest and Amazon. These are contract and restoration plans, not issued-credit totals.

Carbon market · earlier restoration

re.green reported Atlantic Forest credits in 2026.

It reported 36,877 Verra-certified units from more than 1,600 hectares restored in Eunápolis and Potiraguá between 2022 and 2025. This is a company announcement; the source does not establish that those units came from the Nestlé partnership.

Announced activity · Southern Bahia

Nestlé and re.green plan 30 years of restoration.

Nestlé Brasil and re.green announced an Atlantic Forest restoration and conservation partnership in Southern Bahia’s cocoa and coffee landscape. The plan’s area and tree figures are targets, not measured results. Its published sources do not provide a verified site boundary.

Follow the evidence

The 2026 credits do not establish results for the Nestlé plan.

The Nature Exposure tool connects re.green to Nestlé’s company statements and the announced Bahia plan. It does not treat re.green’s wider portfolio or its earlier credit issuance as results of that plan.
