FICO offers effective, impactful and voluntary CO₂ offsetting and measurement
projects to individuals and companies worldwide,
for the greater good of the planet.
Everyone can and should offset their CO₂.
Carbon Offsetting is defined by the United Nations as “a climate action that enables individuals and organizations to compensate for the emissions they cannot avoid, by supporting worthy projects that reduce emissions“. This does not have to be a far-fetched possibility or a complicated matter.
We are the best partner to help your reduce your CO2, no matter where or who you are.
🌿 For Individuals
Your impact as an individual can be larger than you think - after all, your actions now will reflect on the planet your grandchildren will inherit. Besides, companies and the credit industry are increasingly preferring to do business with carbon-neutral individuals, so don't waste any time.
🌿 For Startups, SMEs & Established Companies
No matter what work style you adopt, what industry you are in or how big your company is, CO₂ and other GHG emissions are certainly part of your production chain even if you don't know how. We can help you measure and offset your emissions.
🌿 For Governments
Citizens worldwide are increasingly aware and watchful of how their own government handles its impact on Climate, from drafting legislation to building infrastructure. We can help nation-states & its members worldwide with CO₂ & GHG offsetting for public works, events and more.

METHODOLOGY
Our science-based SDM approach for CO₂ management, part of the Voluntary Carbon Market (VCM).
Infinite Forest Carbon
About the IFC Methodology:
What differs our science-based IFC Methodology for measuring and pricing carbon dioxide is that it is based on real, old-growth rainforest in South and Central America. Land owners of those forests have perpetually renounced their rights to perform otherwise exploratory activity such as mining and farming, and instead opted to partner with FICO for using this precious natural resource to offset CO2 emissions for the peoples of the world through a Sustainable Development Mechanism (SDM). Their promise to keep forest untouched is registered under national and local courts of law in Brazil and Panama.
IFC was elaborated by capable forest engineers and has had external auditing by ICMA Observers, ISO14001 professionals, and other technical and financial bodies.
How it Works:
As an initiative of the private sector, IFC is voluntarily and independently creating a new type of eco-conscious business activity that instead of deforesting and degrading biodiversity, chooses instead to protect nature, by evaluating the natural process of photosynthesis, which chemically is equivalent to a natural industry that removes CO₂ from the atmosphere. Thus it acts as an Intangible Financial Commodity, because:
- Firstly, because the land-owning entrepreneur legally complies to not obtain, from their lands, any revenue of any other type of commodity, whether it’d from mining, livestock or farming;
- Secondly, by the market necessity of self-remuneration for the ecosystem services: the corporation performs and provides to local government and all humanity, which is a basic assumption of the CO²e volume in tons measured in Carbon Credit amounting the ratio 1:1, and from this spreadsheet, the tax and accounting transformation qualified its total in real assets, corporate and certification of its monetary values.
