Conceptualize
the Nature Based project

We start by listening to your wants and needs to create an effective and focused project. This will help us best define the type of project, location, timeline, size, positive impacts to generate, as well as the most appropriate certification and tools for the job.

Explore
potential project areas and carry out rapid feasibility and cost-benefit assessments

We explore the area, looking for areas where the project can be implemented, examining which locations  are best suited for implementation and offer the best opportunities, and greatest benefits.. Once we have identified a number of potential areas, we do pre-feasibility studies and a cost-benefit analysis.

Design
the project by technical design and authorizations

This phase focuses on technical design and permitting. To develop an innovative, robust and sustainable technical design, we combine our know-how and vision with the knowledge of experienced and qualified local technicians from the areas where we operate. The result is a complete technical design, including a detailed list of activities, collection of baseline data needed for subsequent calculation of impacts, estimation of positive effects, detailed budget and project timeline.

Action
project implementation

In this phase, we focus on project implementation. Thanks to our wide network of local firms and partners, Etifor’s technicians coordinate the implementation of interventions and subsequent maintenance to efficiently ensure optimal and lasting results.

Report
results with stakeholders

This phase focuses on monitoring, verifying, and reporting positive impacts on carbon, water, biodiversity, and other ecosystem services. Based on your objectives (offsetting, sustainability reporting, etc.), we choose the most appropriate methodologies to help you meet the requirements set by major international standards and certifications. Our approach meets communication and reporting requirements for all stakeholders, including partners, local communities, investors, and financial institutions.

Why choose
the CEDAR approach?

Every project is tailor-made

We start by listening to your needs and desires to create a customized project that meets your expectations.

We work all over the world
