GLOBAL FOREST BOND

Forest Preservation Assets

The methodology developed by Global Forest Bond allows the issuance of financial instruments backed by the preservation of native biomes. The Forest Preservation Assets attest, through our own audited methodology, the environmental services generated as a result of the preservation of the biomes. These services include:

Climate Regulation
Hydrological cycle maintenance
Soil maintenance
Fauna and flora preservation

Companies can include forest preservation assets can in consumer goods as a tool to offset the use of natural resources in the manufacturing process. Those assets make it possible to reward all the links in the production chain, from the landowner to the industry and the certifying and financial entities which guarantee the integrity of the process.

PRESERVATION

The preservation of native vegetation areas ensures the environmental services that support the entire economy.

Preservation

The preservation of natural biomes is the reason for the existence of Global Forest Bond and the beginning of the chain of issuance of Forest Preservation Assets.

The company certifies the ownership and regularity of the land, including public records and the existence of the Rural Environmental Registry (CAR). After confirmation of regularity, GFB surveys fauna, flora and soil characteristics, which base the calculation of the environmental services provided.

Public and private landowners who certify their preserved areas are committed to the conservation of biomes and accept the constant monitoring by satellite images and on-site audits of their properties, creating a further layer of surveillance of the obligation to preserve.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT

Forest Preservation Assets align the best practices of the financial market and technologies to ensure the accuracy of information.

Financial Instruments

The methodology developed by Global Forest Bond provides for the qualification of Forest Preservation Assets as financial instruments already recognized by the market, such as the Agribusiness Receivables Certificate (CRA), the Agribusiness Credit Letter (LCA), the Agribusiness Credit Certificate (CDCA) and shares of Investment Funds in Credit Rights (FIDC).

The use of already established financial instruments to remunerate environmental services provided by the protection of biomes guarantees the liquidity of the assets, allows the entry of investors interested in preserving natural resources and facilitates the use of the assets by consumer goods companies that wish to compensate their environmental impact.

Global Forest Bond uses state-of-the-art technologies such as transaction platforms with blockchain technology and QRCode-tracked certificates to ensure the publicity, traceability and suitability of the entire process.

CONSUMER GOODS

Forest Preservation Assets enable companies to offset this impact and report it clearly to customers.

Consumer Goods

All human activity uses natural resources, generated in the most part by the biomes. There is growing concern among the population and public authorities about the impact of products and services, especially from an environmental standpoint. Guaranteeing the renewal of natural resources is an obligation of all, as foreseen in the Brazilian Constitution.

Forest Preservation Assets are efficient tools for companies to compensate the impact of their activities, transmitting to their consumers the clear message of their socio-environmental concern, without the need to incur activities that are outside their core business.

REMUNERATION

Sustainability depends on supply chains. Forest Preservation Assets guarantee adequate compensation for each link, encouraging the rational use of natural resources.

Remuneration

The Global Forest Bond methodology has the goal of being an efficient way of guaranteeing the adequate remuneration of all links in the environmental preservation chain, from landowners that preserve natural forests, to companies that compensate the impacts of their products. The sustainability action can be seen as a source of revenue rather than a simple cash outflow.

Wilson Tomanik

Entrepreneur with more than 25 years of experience in management positions, he has vast knowledge in the areas of financial, economic, strategic planning, environmental, certifications, green bonds and forest assets.

He began his entrepreneurial career in the 1990s, where, at the age of 20, he founded a financial service company, creating a financial model that is now widely used in Brazilian banking.

With the arrival of the new millennium, he specialized himself in the agribusiness sector, focusing on its economic aspects and certifications of processes and agricultural products. In this period, he had important passages by the Institute of Agricultural Economy and companies of standardization (certification) of agribusiness products. His ideas began to stand out, attracting the attention of the main universities, research institutes and associations of the country, which invited him to minister several lectures and seminars.

From 2005, he began to study the Payments for Environmental Services market in its various aspects, becoming a national reference in this segment. Realizing that the environmental issue cannot be disassociated with the economic aspect, he innovated by transforming "forest conservation" into a countable, backed and registered asset in CETIP (current B3), with a value greater than R$ 20 Billion.

This pioneering approach has led to the creation of a new billion dollar global market, capable of generating a significant new income for rural producers and companies, which have come to treat sustainability no longer as a resource outlet, but as an economic path of entrance of new and significant resources, that have in the preservation of native biomes their ballast. Such market has already been tested and finds itself in an increasing activity, being operated by the Global Forest Bond.
