Continuing Our Climate Commitment
Four projects to bring that commitment to life: offsetting our emissions and creating meaningful impact for people and the planet.
At Cipio Partners, meaningful climate action starts with understanding our own footprint. Since 2021, we have been tracking our greenhouse gas emissions, while working to reduce our operational impact and contributing to carefully selected environmental and climate initiatives to address unavoidable emissions.
As part of our indirect emissions, we calculate and offset our share in our portfolio companies' emissions, where these are not already compensated at company level.
Following our latest annual emissions assessment, we selected four initiatives that connect climate action with wider environmental and social impact. From restoring peatlands in Brandenburg and protecting global marine ecosystems to improving access to safe drinking water in Madagascar and advancing renewable energy in the Philippines, each addresses a distinct challenge while contributing to a shared goal: creating meaningful impact for people and the planet.
Bringing peatlands back to life
In Brandenburg, Germany, the MoorFutures Kranichwiese project is restoring and rewetting approximately eight hectares of peatland. Healthy peatlands are important natural carbon stores. Their restoration helps prevent long-term CO₂ emissions, improves the natural water balance and creates valuable habitats for rare plant and animal species.
Safeguarding marine ecosystems
Our commitment to biodiversity reaches far beyond land. Through our continued contribution to Sea Shepherd, we help advance efforts to protect marine wildlife and vulnerable ocean habitats.
Its current activities include:
- Removing illegal octopus traps from protected areas in the Mediterranean
- Documenting the effects of industrial krill fishing on whales, penguins, seals and the wider Antarctic food web
- Recovering illegal and abandoned fishing nets from the Vaquita Refuge in Mexico and rescuing trapped marine animals
Clean water, wider impact
Climate action can also improve everyday lives. The Gold Standard-certified Madagascar: Water is Life project provides communities with better access to safe drinking water.
Reducing the need to boil water lowers firewood consumption and helps conserve forests and biodiversity. It also limits exposure to waterborne diseases and household air pollution, while saving valuable time—particularly for women and children. The result is a powerful combination of environmental protection, better health and stronger local communities.
Turning wind into opportunity
In the Philippines, the Burgos Wind project demonstrates how renewable energy can contribute to both decarbonisation and local development. As one of the country’s largest onshore wind farms, it supplies clean electricity to the national grid and reduces reliance on fossil fuels.
Its contribution extends beyond energy generation. The wind farm creates employment and invests in education, healthcare and infrastructure in surrounding communities.
Different approaches, one shared purpose
From peatlands and oceans to clean water and wind power, these four initiatives tackle environmental challenges from very different angles. What unites them is their potential to benefit the climate, protect nature and strengthen communities.
For Cipio Partners, this is a long-term commitment. We will continue to measure and reduce our greenhouse gas emissions, while supporting carefully selected initiatives that create tangible environmental and social value.
