Willing, but stuck.
Finding projects that are credible, investable at scale, and contractually clear is harder than it sounds.
Greenwashing exposure.
Carbon-credit quality varies. Claims need to be defensible under UK SRS, CSRD and emerging regulatory scrutiny.
Reporting gap.
Commitments without documented capital deployment, milestone controls and verified outcomes don’t satisfy disclosure requirements.
What is BVCM?
Beyond Value Chain Mitigation (BVCM) is climate finance directed outside your operations and supply chain. It is additional to, not a substitute for, your internal decarbonisation pathway.
Participation in this programme is communicated as a contribution to climate mitigation beyond the value chain. It is not compensation for continued emissions and does not support a carbon neutrality claim. This is a condition of participation and is reflected in the master agreement.
The Programme
A structured contribution framework designed for corporate sustainability teams.
Curated project portfolio
Access to screened nature-based projects selected for additionality, land rights, social safeguards and co-benefits across Latin America.
You approve everything
Your contribution, project allocation, contractual schedules and use of funds. Nothing moves without your written approval.
Milestone-controlled deployment
Funds held by an independent bank or escrow agent, released only against approved project milestones. EcoForests does not hold contributor funds on its balance sheet.
Independent MRV
Qualified technical providers perform monitoring, reporting and verification independently of EcoForests and the contributor.
Decision-useful reporting
Annual BVCM Contribution Report structured to support UK SRS S2, CSRD and voluntary reporting frameworks. A clear record of what was committed, where funds were allocated and what outcomes were measured.
SBTi OER pathway
Contributions calibrated against your emissions profile to support Engaged, Advanced or Leadership recognition under SBTi Net-Zero Standard V2.0.
How it works
1. Confidential discovery
We confirm your climate priorities, geographic interests and contribution period. No commitment required.
2. BVCM eligibility assessment
Our proprietary technology reviews your emissions profile, SBTi targets and existing climate activity to determine programme fit.
3. Contribution recommendation
We propose an annual contribution calibrated to your sustainability objectives and reporting requirements.
4. Project matching
You receive a shortlist with proposed allocations across one or more eligible projects from the portfolio.
5. Approval & contracting
You approve your project selection and sign a master BVCM agreement with project-specific contractual schedules.
6. Controlled deployment
Funds are released against approved milestones, with full project and contributor-level accounting maintained throughout.
7. Monitoring & reporting
Independent MRV, technical assurance and an annual BVCM Contribution Report issued to you for disclosure use.
Aligned with SBTi Net-Zero Standard V2.0
Contributions can be structured to support official OER recognition under the Science Based Targets initiative’s corporate net-zero framework.
Engaged
A documented first step in BVCM. Contributions reported separately from your internal decarbonisation pathway.
Advanced
A structured contribution programme with independent verification evidence, demonstrating sustained commitment.
Leadership
Full ongoing emissions responsibility: the highest level of BVCM recognition under the SBTi corporate net-zero standard.
Project portfolio
A curated set of nature-based projects across Latin America, selected for additionality, permanence and measurable co-benefits.
Afforestation & Reforestation
Plantation of native species on degraded lands. Carbon removals verified under internationally recognised ARR methodologies with independent MRV.

Avoided Deforestation
Protection of at-risk forest through conservation agreements and community engagement. Emission avoidance issued under VERRA VCS or equivalent.
Ecosystem Restoration
Restoration of degraded ecosystems combining carbon sequestration with biodiversity and watershed co-benefits.
