When companies and credit buyers choose to invest in high-quality carbon credits, they are taking a meaningful step towards sustainability and climate action. But, the decision of which carbon projects to invest in is often dictated by data and reports. Site visits, i.e. witnessing the direct impact of carbon credit investments firsthand, are unparalleled opportunities for investors to engage with their work directly. By visiting a project site, credit buyers can build stronger relationships with project developers and experience the tangible environmental and social benefits of the initiatives they are supporting.
Boomitra welcomes any interested credit buyer to visit our soil carbon projects. To make the most of your visit, it’s essential to establish clear objectives:
Validate project integrity: Confirm that the carbon sequestration methods used align with the project documentation and industry standards.
Assess community and environmental impact: Understand how the project is benefiting local communities and supporting biodiversity.
Build relationships: Strengthen your connection with project developers and grasp the local context of the work.
Showcase your commitment: Capture stories, photographs, or videos to share with stakeholders to demonstrate your company’s commitment to credible climate action.
Pre-visit planning: Collaborate with the project developer to organize logistics, set an agenda, and identify key areas and stakeholders to visit. For a detailed breakdown of what to plan and prepare, refer to our downloadable Carbon Project Site Visit Checklist.
Define success metrics: Know what you’re hoping to learn or achieve, whether it’s confirming project data, understanding challenges on the ground, or developing new insights into carbon sequestration.
Engage with local communities: Schedule time to meet and talk with local farmers or community members to understand the broader impact of the project.
Document your findings: Capture thorough notes, visual content, and any key observations to share with your team and inform future decisions.
A successful site visit meets your set objectives and leaves you with a deeper understanding of the carbon project’s impact. You should feel confident that your investment is contributing to meaningful climate benefits and positively affecting local communities. As a large carbon credit buyer noted after visiting Boomitra’s Northern Mexico Grasslands Project: “I was impressed with Boomitra’s diligence, innovative approach, and the tangible impact they are making for local communities and ranchers. Witnessing firsthand the positive changes in the environment and the livelihoods of those involved reinforced the critical importance of projects like this in addressing climate change.”
Site visits are covered by the credit buyer’s organization, so it’s important to frame their value strategically:
Highlight the investment’s scale: Site visits are most appropriate for significant investments, typically $50,000 or more, where the financial and environmental stakes are high.
Emphasize risk management: Explain how firsthand validation reduces reputational and investment risks.
Demonstrate ROI: Show how site visits improve reporting accuracy, boost stakeholder confidence, and potentially unlock more value.
Leverage tangible outcomes: Promise a comprehensive post-visit report with actionable insights, visuals, and stories to share internally and externally.
