Nature Development Company

What Nature Development Company does

Nature Development Company is a Denmark-based impact enterprise founded in 2022 that restores degraded ecosystems in critical biodiversity hotspots, with operational focus on Brazil and Colombia. The company develops large-scale ecosystem restoration projects, aspiring to restore 10,000 to 100,000 hectares per project, using native and endemic species for ecological resilience and biodiversity recovery. Projects are designed and verified under Verra's VM0047 methodology for afforestation, reforestation and revegetation, and are supported by advanced Measurement, Reporting and Verification (MRV) systems that track ecosystem growth and carbon removal in near real time with full traceability and disclosure. The company's core commercial offering is high-integrity carbon removal credits sold to qualified corporate and financial investors; complementary agroforestry and ecotourism revenue streams are designed to diversify project economics and create community livelihoods.

The company is headquartered in Søborg, Denmark (CVR: 43330675) and operates as a subsidiary of the Planetary Responsibility Foundation, a family foundation established in April 2022 by Ludvig Find and Andreea Kaiser. Jens Böhme serves as CEO, with a leadership team comprising Chief Business Development & Communications Officer Michael Bak, Chief Commercial Officer Kristoffer Sparre, and Head of Impact & Partnerships Jesica Lopez. The team of approximately 11 includes dedicated country operations in Colombia and junior analysts across biodiversity, business, and financial functions. No external institutional funding rounds are disclosed in available materials; ownership is described as family-directed.

Go-to-market is direct enterprise sales to qualified corporate and financial investors, bypassing traditional channels to maintain bespoke investment structuring suited to institutional mandates aligned with EU Taxonomy and SFDR Article 9 standards. Capital deployment follows a phased, de-risked approach using blended capital stacks that incorporate grants and guarantees alongside investor capital. Three customer segments are addressed: qualified corporate and financial investors (primary, transaction-driven), local communities and indigenous groups (project partners), and governments and public sector entities in Brazil and Colombia (partners for national biodiversity and Paris Agreement commitments). Pricing is not publicly disclosed; carbon credit transactions appear to be negotiated directly with qualified investors on a case-by-case basis.
