Mission & Goals
Reforest'Action is a company whose mission is to regenerate terrestrial ecosystems on a large scale, to meet environmental challenges. As a world player in reforestation and agroforestry, Reforest'Action designs and develops projects with multiple benefits for the environment and communities that are monitored and measured over time. The basis of its action is the multi-functionality of ecosystems to optimize their resilience and stability over the long term. Convinced that companies can be sources of regeneration for the living world, Reforest'Action aims to contribute to their transformation through nature-based solutions, enabling them to act within or beyond their value chain. Reforest'Action is mobilizing its strengths around the deployment of regenerative agriculture, the development of carbon projects and impact measurement. Since its creation in 2010, Reforest'Action has carried out over 1,500 projects in 46 countries, mainly thanks to funding from over 3,000 companies.
