In the Platform you will find Mitigation and Carbon Sequestration Projects in progress as well as other sustainable development projects, namely reforestation; watershed protection; reduction of emission by deforestation and degradation (the so called REDD+); bioremediation; energy efficiency; renewable energy; environmental education and capacity building, among others.

You will also find projects profiles for the protection and/or sustainable use of natural resources and fragile and valuable ecosystems for the region and the country, which could be adapted to the needs of the companies interested in compensating their environmental impact; include them in their Economic and Social Responsibility (ESR) programs as a contribution to sustainable development and improve the environmental conditions and the quality of life of the communities that are implementing the project.

All the projects that are part of the Portfolio should generate positive environmental, economic and social results in the communities implementing them and contribute the indicators that companies require to measure their contribution to the mitigation or reduction of their environmental impact.

Project developers, Community-Based Organizations (CBOs), NGOs or any other organization with a project in progress that is willing to visualize it through the Platform in order to receive the support of companies or entities interested in compensating their environmental impact and/or implementing Economic and Social Responsibility (ESR) policies, can fill up an application form so that the project could be evaluated.

Any organization willing to develop a project can send the application form in order to have its feasibility assessed; get the necessary support to begin implementing it and include it in the Projects Portfolio. During the process, organizations concerned will be able to receive technical advisory on the Platform for its development and implementation.

To be part of the Projects Portfolio, the entities concerned will have to observe the conditions described in the Platform and obtain previous approval from the Board. Once the projects are approved, a follow-up and monitoring plan is established in order to ensure that the aforementioned objectives are met.

Included herein there is some information about the type of project; developer; geo-referencing; stage of the validation, verification and/or certification process; estimates of prevented, reduced, removed and/or stored carbon emissions that can be monitored, verified or reported; as well as any other relevant information. All projects will be accompanied by a follow-up and monitoring plan.

The development of new mitigation projects is likewise promoted. For this purpose, several projects prototypes are available so that they could be implemented in due time by the companies concerned.
