Why work with us

Our experience and skills

  • Treevive is powered by Form International. Together we build on 30 years of hands-on expertise in the development, investment and implementation of forest landscape projects in tropical regions in Africa, Latin America and Asia. These include afforestation, reforestation and revegetation (ARR), Improved Forest Management (IFM), REDD+ and agroforestry.
  • Form International is experienced in the development and certification of forest carbon projects and delivers a wide range of forest expertise.

Our drivers and business model

  • All Treevive staff members have a strong track record in sustainable forest management and/or corporate sustainability. We are all intrinsically motivated to achieve our mission.
  • Our business model is transparent and fair; The vast majority of the generated revenues flow to the forest owner and local communities via a revenue share model.
  • Treevive is set up as a revolving structure; our earnings flow forward to finance new projects.

Our relentless strive for lasting impact

  • Because of our focus on long-lasting impact, we strive for the highest quality in everything we do. This means we apply strict quality and integrity standards to ensure strong climate, community and biodiversity benefits in compliance with international agreements, carbon and forestry certification standards and ESG requirements.
  • It also means we only engage with high-quality carbon buyers: companies that are ambitiously and transparently reducing their GHG-emissions in line with the Paris Agreement, and only use offsetting to mitigate their currently unavoidable emissions. And as natural climate solutions are by nature long-term, this is also how we see our relationships and commitments.
