FORESTOR

What FORESTOR does

FORESTOR (legal entity: SAS DCP) is a French professional services company headquartered in Lyon that designs and delivers customized reforestation projects for corporate clients seeking to offset their carbon footprint. Founded in 2019 and operating with a seven-person team, the company runs two core service lines — forest restoration (reboisement de forêts damaged by fires, droughts, storms, and pests) and creation of new forests on previously unforested land, former industrial sites, or polluted soils (création de forêts) — supplemented by three vertical-specific programs targeting real estate developers (FORESTOR Immobilier), general enterprises (FORESTOR Entreprise), and transportation/fleet operators (FORESTOR Transport).

The business model is bespoke project-based professional services sold directly to enterprise clients through a field sales motion. Projects are localized in the client's department or region and executed in partnership with reference French forestry bodies — ONF (Office National des Forêts), CRPF (Centre Régional de la Propriété Forestière), forestry cooperatives, private forest owners, and local collectivities — with all engagements governed by La Charte FORESTOR, a charter committing projects to CO2 capture, biodiversity preservation, and social responsibility. Pricing is not publicly disclosed but is structured as multi-year contracts with custom scoping per client.

The offering includes active employee participation at each project stage, regular reporting, and a final environmental assessment. Marketing is conducted primarily through the company's website (forestor.fr), industry-specific downloadable fact sheets, and direct contact. FORESTOR's geographic footprint is limited to France, with no disclosed funding rounds, revenue figures, named customers, or M&A activity. The company's stated rationale draws on research by Professor Tom Crowther of ETH Zurich (published in Science, July 2019) indicating that large-scale forest restoration could reduce atmospheric CO2 by approximately 25%.

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights3 records

Broad incumbents

• South Pole: One of the world's largest carbon offset developers and advisors, offering corporate clients a portfolio of nature-based and engineered credits including large-scale afforestation/reforestation projects — directly comparable offering to FORESTOR but at much larger global scale.
• MyClimate: Swiss non-profit that develops and sells certified carbon offset projects (including reforestation) to corporate and individual buyers across Europe, with comparable value proposition around credible, project-based carbon offsetting.
• Carbone 4: French carbon consultancy advising corporates on decarbonization strategy and carbon offset strategy, including nature-based solutions; competes for the same French enterprise CSR/climate budget as FORESTOR but from a consulting-led angle.

Emerging players

• Treedom: Italy-based platform that lets companies and individuals fund tree-planting projects with remote monitoring; comparable in that it sells 'trees as carbon/ESG offsets' to corporates but differs in being a tech platform rather than a French-local service provider.
• Veritree: Tech-enabled reforestation platform providing verified tree-planting projects to enterprises with blockchain-based monitoring; competes for the same corporate-esg carbon offsetting budget but with a global, digitally-native delivery model.
• Plant-for-the-Planet: Global NGO running mass tree-planting projects and corporate partnerships, with a comparable enterprise engagement model and a focus on using restoration for climate and education outcomes.

Direct peers

• Reforest'Action: French reforestation company that designs and funds reforestation projects for businesses and individuals, with a very similar value proposition to FORESTOR (corporate carbon offset, employee engagement, local projects) and overlapping French enterprise customer base.
• PUR Projet: France-based regenerative agriculture and reforestation consultancy that co-designs ecosystem restoration projects with corporates, offering the same mix of customized project design, partner-led implementation, and CSR/carbon outcomes for enterprise clients.
• Livelihoods Funds: French-impact fund-operator that builds large-scale nature-based carbon and ecosystem restoration projects with corporate sponsors (e.g., Danone, Schneider, Hermès), directly comparable to FORESTOR's corporate-funded reforestation model.
• Ecoact: French climate consultancy and carbon offset project developer (now part of Atos) that helps corporates design and source carbon offset portfolios, including forestry-based projects serving overlapping French enterprise buyers.
