Members

Our members include companies from a variety of sectors who are taking early action by purchasing credits from REDD+ projects in different parts of the world. These credits are certified by both the widely used Voluntary Carbon Standard (VCS) and the Climate, Community and Biodiversity Standard (CCBS). The businesses integrate these carbon credits into their broader sustainability strategies in order to achieve their sustainability goals. Together we have achieved measurable impact. By the end of 2020, the RBI corporates had purchased a total of 17,1 million tonnes of CO2. Next to the companies purchasing carbon credits, RBI also includes companies that purchase sustainable commodities (like certified wood) from REDD+ projects.

The following organizations are members of RBI, which include both businesses and strategic partners.

Michel Schuurman, Director Economy and Politics

'Business has a crucial role to play in safeguarding a liveable planet for all beings and all generations. As a business network we are therefore proud to host the RBI project. By utilizing the CO2 offsets for the unavoidable emissions in such a way that it protects tropical forests with a rich biodiversity, it acts as a two-edged sword.'
