Your partner for active climate protection

Silva Viridis GmbH is a company based in Grünwald (Germany), created and founded on the initiative of the Luxembourg-based public limited company Argentum Viridis S.A. and its founders. Together they form the Viridis Group with a focus on the development and marketing of climate-friendly and ESG-compliant CO₂ products. Silva Viridis has established a unique and comprehensive allocation system that allocates actual CO₂ reductions and the rights to them in the form of carbon credits in a creditable and balance sheet-effective manner. Nationally and internationally recognised CO₂ reduction services, such as the ecosystem services of nature (e.g. photosynthesis performance of national forests) and avoidance services through renewable energies (e.g. PV and wind power) are identified and quantified. Silva Viridis thus honours the climate protection performance for forest owners and their forestry operations (owners of natural CO₂ reduction effects) as well as for operators of renewable energy systems (such as PV and wind power). The generated carbon credits are used to compensate unavoidable CO₂ emissions from companies, institutions and utility companies (e.g. energy sector & municipal utilities) and their products (e.g. generation of green electricity). Silva Viridis acts as a producer, trader and partner at the same time and also supports its customers on the transformation path to sustainability and climate neutrality, taking into account ESG criteria and SDGs.

Our philosophy
is our sustainability strategy

Reduce what you cannot avoid.

Compensate what you cannot reduce.

Vision & Mission

Climate change is the greatest challenge of our time. In addition to overcoming nature-based problems and their effects, society and the economy worldwide are being called upon to reorient and reorganise themselves:

Safeguarding the competitiveness of European companies despite achieving climate targets
Raising awareness and sensitisation
Management of and compliance with the duties and regulations imposed
Transformation towards sustainability and climate neutrality of companies, with simultaneous growth and optimisation of the core business

Although numerous climate protection activities have been launched and some are still ongoing, every effort must continue to be made to create solutions and potentials that ensure transparent, more professional, better and sustainable climate protection in order to ensure that climate neutrality is achieved in good time. We see the need for innovative, holistic and sustainably realisable products that offer added value for all stakeholders in the context of climate protection.

Utilisation & preservation of all existing reduction potentials
National & international climate protection
Sustainable & consistent
innovative & solution-orientated products
Driver & initiator of CO₂ mitigation, reduction and avoidance effects
Promotion & expansion of further concepts for active climate protection

Despite the early development phase of the climate protection and emissions market, this sector is already undergoing radical change. The first quick, often unsustainable but cost-intensive concepts and systems, some of which were seen as borderline or even cross-border greenwashing, are no longer up to date and make this upheaval absolutely necessary.

At Silva Viridis, we see ourselves in the role of innovation driver and take a pioneering position in actively reshaping the market, developing and implementing specially customised solutions with the aim of supporting companies in their transformation to sustainable management and, above all, to climate neutrality. This must be done quickly, successfully and economically. In addition to cross-departmental expertise in engineering, sustainability and emissions trading, the special task is to strike a balance between environmental and climate requirements and the needs and living space of people and our economy:

‘Symbiosis of ecology and economy - to effectively tackle climate change and at the same time ensure that climate protection becomes a success-oriented and sustainable business model - for business and private!’

Climate protection and sustainability must therefore be thought of and implemented differently. Of course, Silva Viridis and the entire team also focus on the environment (nature) and its protection and future, but we do not neglect the needs and concerns of people, especially companies and organisations. On the contrary, this is the only way we can successfully implement climate protection and neutrality. The forest with its CO₂ reduction performance and CO₂ avoidance through renewable energies (greenhouse gas avoidance) is our greatest asset - Climate protection pays off!
