Carbon Offsetting
Our mission is to minimize our impact on the planet. We offset our carbon footprint and help solve climate change by funding verified carbon-reduction projects worldwide. Trees are one of the most scalable and efficient ways to remove carbon today. These projects help forests thrive through increased reforestation, better forest management, and reduced deforestation. This results in the shipment of your package to be 100% carbon-neutral.
Carbon Projects We Fund
BRECK + FOX has partnered with Pachama to fund three carbon-reduction projects that are "Verified Carbon Standard" certified. Our contributions cover the project costs to increase reforestation, improve forest management, and reduce deforestation.
Fazenda Sao Nicolao (Amazon Rainforest, Brazil)
Fazenda Sao Nicolao, a Brazilian reforestation project is located in the Amazon rainforest. The 1,900-ha project is the first Brazilian forestry project to be certified by Verified Carbon Standard (VCS). Much of the project area was heavily deforested in the late 1980s and 1990s for both cattle ranching and coffee production. As such, the project has pledged to improve afforestation, reforestation, and revegetation to increase the forests' carbon stock and recover its invaluable biodiversity. The project is replanting using a mix of 54 native species, an area of forest almost half the size of the island of Manhattan.
Jaguar Amazon REDD (Amazon Rainforest, Peru)
The Jaguar Amazon REDD project protects an area of the Amazon Rainforest in Madre de Dios, Peru. This is one of the most biologically diverse areas of the world, which is rapidly developing as a result of a trans-oceanic highway that connects this region with the Peruvian coast and western Brazil. The project hopes to help stop deforestation by encouraging use of sustainable forest management practices throughout the project area, including Brazil nut collection and processing, small harvests using localized silvicultural techniques, and forest fire prevention.
Los Bancos (Northern Mexico)
Established in 2018, the Ejido Forestal Los Bancos project conserves communally-owned pine-oak forests in Northern Mexico and provides alternative income to the 44 Ejidatarios who have traditionally tended the land. The project hopes to sequester 376,166 tons of CO2 within ten years by leaving 30% more residual timber from planned harvests than required by Mexican law. The project also invests in conservation activities and forest fire prevention infrastructure.
Where the Dollars Go
For every dollar BRECK + FOX invests with Pachama, 20 cents goes to Pachama to fund business operations and 80 cents goes directly to their projects.
