Company engagement
Companies can help sequester atmospheric CO2 in soils and thus contribute directly to climate protection. By partnering with betterSoil, they stabilize their supply chain, promote soil health, and remove greenhouse gases from the atmosphere at the same time.
Climate protection starts with the soil
For successful climate protection, we need companies. This insight is slowly gaining ground – and it is correct. What applies to the climate also applies to the protection of biodiversity and more sustainability in general. Because if we want to do business in the long term, we need a stable environment. Moreover, everyone must benefit from it, and in a globalized economy that applies worldwide. This is also because the problems are global. betterSoil offers numerous opportunities for companies to position themselves concretely for global sustainability and to become active:
Some companies are aware of the problems, want to take responsibility and enter a partnership with betterSoil. In this way, a company becomes a multiplier for healthy soil. At the same time, the company promotes that CO2 is pulled out of the atmosphere in the long term. Our betterSoil Booster contains a sizable proportion of high-quality biochar. Farmers work this into the soil. The carbon in the biochar was previously in the air and because the biochar remains stable, the CO2 is bound in the soil for many centuries. In addition, humus is built up and this only works if further CO2 is drawn from the air and sequestered.
Healthy soil – foundation of a sustainable supply chain
For other companies, their business model is related to the soil. The better the soil, the better for business. With farmers, this is obvious because the soil is their capital, their means of production. But the value chain goes further. Other companies, for example in Germany and Europe, import coffee, almonds, pistachios, and other foodstuffs, which they process and sell. Poor soil in combination with droughts or heavy rainfall are a risk. For the quantity of the harvest but also for the quality of the food. In addition, European companies must report on how they engage in sustainability. The Act on Corporate Due Diligence Obligations in Supply Chains (LkSG) in Germany even requires companies of a certain size to design their supply chain in a way that respects human rights. According to Article 9 of the LkSG, healthy soil and good water quality are to be taken care of. Here, companies can work directly with betterSoil.
Of course, we at betterSoil also work directly with farmers. Especially in Iran, and soon also in Kenya and Malawi, if we can push our startups there financially. Furthermore, we also engage in improving the soil of European farmers.
