WE CREATE A MARKET FOR
BIOCREDITS IN PRODUCTION LANDSCAPE
WE CREATE A MARKET
FOR BIOCREDITS IN PRODUCTION LANDSCAPES
There are good conditions for a credible and transparent market for trading biocredits in production landscapes. The Swedish Biocredit Alliance initiative works to create structural and regular conditions for trading biocredits in managed landscapes such as forests, agriculture and marine environments.
The Swedish Biocredit Alliance has already presented a standard for biocredits in production landscapes and we are working to develop clear guidelines, a project register and the requirements that will apply to actors in the value chain. We are looking for more committed partners who want to see the same development as us. Please contact us to hear more..
Good conditions for a market for biocredits in Sweden
In Sweden, there are good conditions for a credible and transparent market for trading in biocredits. However, there is a lack of fundamental conditions for a functioning market, which is why the Swedish Biocredit Alliance initiative exists with the aim of creating structural and regular conditions for trading in biocredits.
Swedish Biocredit Alliance is working to develop regulations and guidance, develop transparent solutions for project registers and propose a contract model for market parties. We are looking for more committed partners who want to see the same development as us. Please contact us to hear more.

In the World Economic Forum's latest risk report from January 2025, the biodiversity crisis is classified as one of the worst risks to the economy over the next ten years, and if the same trend continues, half of the world's total GDP is at risk. Read more »

Swedish companies
is facing a
biodiversity crisis
There is a lot happening in the area of biodiversity right now. There has been a global agreement and many policies from the EU that affect the area, not least CSRD and taxonomy. The business community therefore has a lot to navigate when it comes to environmental and climate issues and many companies have set ambitious goals.
Despite this, the World Wildlife Fund WWF points out in its report Swedish business & the biodiversity crises that; “Swedish companies are facing a biodiversity crisis. Focus on companies' impact on the environment and climate has increased rapidly in recent years. When it comes to biodiversity and nature loss, companies' awareness of their impact and the extent of the measures taken is still limited.”
