ALLCOT

What ALLCOT does

ALLCOT is a privately held sustainability and climate change solutions company founded in 2009 and headquartered in Zug, Switzerland. The company operates as a specialized consultancy and project developer serving enterprises, governments, and communities worldwide, with core operations spanning Latin America and Africa. ALLCOT generates revenue through five streams: advisory and consultancy services (corporate sustainability, decarbonization strategy), GHG reduction project development (Nature-Based Solutions and Technology-Based Solutions), carbon credit trading through its ALLCOT Trading subsidiary, carbon credit procurement services for regulated markets (CORSIA, national carbon taxes), and marketplace commissions via its online platform (allcot.com/tienda).

The company's core technology includes a proprietary MRV (Measurement, Reporting and Verification) system specialized for greenhouse gas emissions and carbon market-based approaches, and ALLCOT IO, a digital integration platform. ALLCOT's competitive position is built on expertise in Article 6 of the Paris Agreement, with the company describing itself as a pioneer in cooperative approaches and the first "responsible Trading House of the Paris Era." The project portfolio spans REDD+ forest conservation (77,161 hectares in Colombia), mangrove restoration (7,000 hectares in Senegal, 5,000 hectares in Guinea), reforestation (4,078.5 hectares in Ghana), landfill gas capture (Chile), and cookstoves distribution (50,000 units each in Senegal and Côte d'Ivoire).

ALLCOT's go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales, event-driven engagement at international sustainability conferences, and a self-serve marketplace. The company maintains a horizontal segmentation approach, serving corporates with net-zero goals, governments seeking NDC/Article 6 compliance, landowning communities and farmer associations, regulated carbon credit buyers (airlines, compliance entities), and project developers/investors. Key partnerships include IETA, ICROA, Conservation International Colombia, Woodside Energy, SONAGED, and the University of Ziguinchor, with projects certified under Verra, Gold Standard, Cercarbono, CAR, and Plan Vivo standards.
