Ownership and accountability
Iamazonia is committed to the highest standards of accountability across its entire project lifecycle, from project identification and design to investment and capital raising, monitoring, reporting and benefit-sharing.
Corporate structure
Iamazonia is a project selection and deployment/investment holding within the BGenera group. It designs and sponsors large-scale projects, which are based on nature-based solutions, in some of the world’s most significant ecosystems.
Iamazonia invests in local organizations which are ultimately responsible for implementing projects according to its principles and applicable laws.
Currently, Iamazonia has one active project in Brazil, this is implemented by Brazilian firm BR Arbo, as is scoping potential new projects in DRC, Venezuela and Tanzania.
Fiscal responsibility
All Iamazonia revenues are declared and taxed in both the project country and, where applicable, in Italy, the country where Iamazonia SpA is registered, in accordance with national and international laws. Iamazonia applies documented intercompany transfer pricing policies in line with international accounting standards, and all carbon credit revenues are subject to local and international tax compliance, including corporate income tax and fiscal reporting (i.e. no tax havens).
Independent verification
All Iamazonia carbon credits are validated and verified by independent third-party auditors under the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS). Co-benefits are certified under the Climate, Community and Biodiversity (CCB) label where applicable. All projects are reviewed by primary international advisory & audit firms and further third-party ratings of certifications are sought if it enhances a project.
Monitoring and reporting
Project data is continuously collected and reported as required by the carbon credit methodologies used. Iamazonia uses satellite monitoring, field verification, and publicly available reporting tools (such as the Verra Registry) to ensure transparency and traceability. The monitoring is further verified by independent third parties as required by institutional investors.
Ethical governance
Each project is governed by formal contracts, conservation agreements, and internal compliance procedures. Local communities are consulted in line with CCB requirements and global standards for free, prior and informed consent (FPIC).
Iamazonia has created a supervisory board with the purpose of verifying ongoing compliance of projects with its initial goals. This also serves as a strategic advisor on new projects to ensure the comply with Iamazonia’s founding principles.
