The agreement establishes a collaboration framework to promote innovative actions that generate economic, social and environmental benefits in the communities where they operate.
Another agreement was also signed between the company Investancia, Quadriz’s sister company, and MADES.
Representing MADES, Minister Rolando de Barros Barreto signed the document. He explained that the agreement will allow capacity building and that the initiatives to be presented will benefit the country and boost investments. He also emphasized that this agreement demonstrates the government’s support for private initiatives that promote economic, social, and environmental development.
On behalf of Quadriz and Investancia, Marcel van Heesewijk, CEO of both companies, thanked MADES for the support and the efforts to strengthen the carbon market, and the opportunity to create spaces for collaboration between the private and public sectors.
The signing ceremony took place at the MADES headquarters in Asunción, Paraguay. As part of the framework agreements, it is established that Quadriz and Investancia will work together with MADES to design and execute actions that align with the mission of each entity and that contribute to sustainable development.
In the case of Quadriz, the company aims to develop large-scale forest conservation projects, to conserve forest carbon sinks in the Paraguayan Chaco, protect biodiversity and generate social impact in the areas of project intervention.
Investancia, in turn, aims to reforest degraded lands in the Chaco, for the generation of high-quality carbon credits, oil and vegetable protein, and at the same time, conserve biodiversity and local social conditions.
