GreenWorld BVI Brings Socially Responsible Green Investment in Carbon Credits to the Market

Targets retail investors looking to diversify their portfolios while simultaneously using a socially responsible green investing strategy

2011-08-25

August 25, 2011 (Press-News.org) As the demand ethical, socially responsible investments continues to increase, GreenWorld BVI has responded by bringing a carbon credits investment offering to the retail market.

GreenWorld BVIÕs carbon credit investment focuses on a 50,000 hectare project in the West African nation of Sierra Leone, and is directly connected to the Gola rainforest (http://www.golarainforest.org), an internationally recognized area of bio-diversity and the largest lowland closed canopy rainforest remaining in Sierra Leone.

The minimum investment in the project is GBP1,250 (or about $2,000 and 1,400 Euros). The investor actually owns the underlying plot of rainforest under a broad 45 year lease that has been taken out on the entire 50,000 hectare plot. The investment is a complete solution, as GreenWorld and its partners will arrange all of the steps necessary for the investor to have their carbon credits certified under the Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation in Developing Countries (REDD) standard propagated by the United Nations. There is a full money back guarantee should the certification for the credits not be granted.

Once the credits are granted, GreenWorldÕs partner on the project will also take full responsibility for selling the credits into the rapidly developing carbon credit market, where the main buyers are large enterprises such as utilities who are looking to offset their carbon footprint. The targeted return for the project is 50% over a two-three year period, and perhaps higher. Best of all, the investor is offered a full and total Òsoup to nutsÓ solution, from the acquisition and management of the land, the certification of credits, and the sale of the credits into the marketplace.

As major emerging markets economies continue to grow at rates that are double, triple or more those of western countries, there will be an increasing stress on natural resources such as tropical forestry, and increased power generation and petrol consumption will lead to the ever greater release on greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.

"These trends are really driving an increasing global awareness among investors that the planet's resources are not infinite, and as a result the carbon credit investment is an ideal way to offset some of the effects of rapid economic growth," noted Cohn, "and as a result we are seeing a real trend by both retail investors and institutions who are looking to add ethical and socially responsible green investments to their portfolios," stated Josh Cohn, Partner at GreenWorld (BVI).

Although hailing from a good family, complete with financial security and a fearless forecast of a bright future, Wayne strayed from how he was raised. Those great core values and Christian teachings dissipated. His father's advice of 'Just stay on the right track, son' did not stick, and soon, Wayne was getting into trouble. He felt a void in himself that wanted to be filled up, especially by Jesus Christ. For some reason, ...
