BambooPro Environmental Projects create Shared Value for the company and its shareholders through the production of a benefit for society and the environment.
The spill-over Value is expressed through policies and operational practices that improve the competitiveness of farms by producing a development of the economic and social conditions of the communities in which they operate.
1 ECO CREDIT BambooPro represents 1 tonne of CO₂ equivalent sequestered with Environmental Projects carried out with Giant Bamboo Phyllostachis Edulis, which corresponds to approximately 2.5 m2 of agricultural land converted to bamboo plantation and cultivated for 7 years according to UNI PDR 156/2024 reference practice.
This data may vary depending on the characteristics of the Environmental Project and its duration (excluding those relating to CO₂ sequestration, which remain unchanged).
Through these Projects, farmers will have the opportunity to realise additional income through the sale of the Eco Credit generated by their Bamboo plantations: this will bring a growth of economic welfare in the territories where they are active.
In addition, Value creation will also be expressed through the numerous Environmental Benefits that accompany
In addition to the enormous amount of carbon dioxide absorbed, BambooPro Environmental Projects produce important positive effects on the environment, including:
The sale of the Eco-Credits generated by the plantations has the effect of economic development of the farms participating in the Projects. This aspect is essential since the generation and marketing of credits takes place in the first 7 years of the Bambuseto’s age.
At the end of this time ace, the plantation will be able to generate products that will go on the market as Reeds, Sprouts and Biomass. Adhesion to the BambooPro Environmental Projects is therefore a factor of great importance for the development of Italian agriculture: the possibility of receiving an income right from the first year of planting is decisive for the livelihood of the adhering companies, which will thus have a century-old plantation that will produce for years to come.
This will initiate a quantitative and qualitative change of great importance for the economy of a region and/or an entire country.
The spill-over of Value and Economic Well-being generated by the BambooPro Projects introduces elements that also contribute to the social development of individual farming and rural communities, fostering new local employment opportunities, training and support for the development of new skills that contribute to improved community well-being.
These aspects may generate transformations that affect the structure of society and its patterns of social organisation in a given temporal and geographical context, causing a very positive change in society itself.
In this way, our farms can once again become true HUBs of work and growth for young people and the many families that are the backbone of Italian agriculture.
