As part of our broader sustainability efforts, we have chosen to support CommuniTree – a long-term, third-party-verified project focused on reforestation and sustainable agriculture in Nicaragua.
Part of a wider sustainability commitment
As part of Avisera’s work to develop detailed climate analyses for our products, we also want to make it easier for our customers to support a climate initiative with documented impact.
We contribute to the CommuniTree climate project, which focuses on reforestation and sustainable farming practices in Nicaragua. The project is third-party verified under the Plan Vivo standard and creates both climate benefits and social development for the smallholder families who participate.
What is CommuniTree?
CommuniTree is a climate project in Nicaragua focused on reforestation, agroforestry and land restoration. The project is run by Taking Root (locally BOSNICA) and follows the Plan Vivo standard. According to the project’s public reporting, it has to date:
-
Engaged 4,613 families
-
Planted over 27 million trees
-
Sequestered 4.6 million tonnes of CO₂e
-
Restored 6 out of 6 water sources
-
Paid out over USD 40 million to participating farmers
-
Strengthened women’s entrepreneurship through 801 female farmers
We communicate these figures because they are publicly reported and third-party audited—not to take credit for the results. Our role is to support an existing initiative with documented impact.
A Complementary Climate Initiative
It is important to emphasise that our contribution to CommuniTree does not replace the strategic work of reducing emissions within our own products and processes. On the contrary, we view the project as an added value.
By combining data-driven insight with a verified climate initiative, we aim to make sustainability efforts clearer and more meaningful for the companies that choose to work with us.
When you purchase from us, you indirectly contribute to the continued work of the project through the share of our revenue that goes towards supporting the initiative.
Why climate projects are becoming increasingly important
As sustainability reporting requirements tighten under CSRD/ESRS, companies are expected to demonstrate both how they reduce their emissions and which external climate initiatives they support. This makes it increasingly important to work with verified, long-term projects that create measurable climate and societal benefits.
What does the project mean for you as a customer?
When you purchase from Avisera, you indirectly support the ongoing financing of the project, as we allocate a portion of our revenue to CommuniTree. This means that every order helps support:
-
Reforestation efforts that counteract deforestation in the region
-
Long-term income opportunities for local smallholder farmers
-
Restoration of ecosystems and soil health
-
Increased biodiversity through the planting of native species
It is important to clarify that this does not make our products climate neutral or climate compensated. We do not communicate emissions neutrality or zero impact—our contribution is exactly that: a contribution, not a compensation mechanism.
