Voluntary compensation

Compensation through reforestation

In line with our environmental commitment, framed within the 2021–2026 Carbon Strategic Plan, at Saggas we have promoted six carbon dioxide removal projects through nature-based solutions. These projects are aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and not only deliver environmental benefits for the surrounding area, but also have a significant economic and social impact, while enabling us to offset part of our carbon footprint.

LOUREZA (PONTEVEDRA)

Reforestation project of 2.21 hectares of land affected by a forest fire in Loureza. This project, which has a 45-year permanence period with a total forecast absorption of 1,099 tCO2e, includes the planting of 2,340 trees of the Pinus pinaster species.

REDONDELA (PONTEVEDRA)

Regeneration project for a 2.05-hectare area burned in the town of Redondela. This project has a 30-year permanence period, with a total forecast absorption of 620 tCO2e through the initial planting of approximately 2,800 Pinus pinaster trees.

TERUEL

eforestation project of 2.27 hectares of Public Utility Forest in the town of Ejulve, which was affected by a fire in 2009. This project, which has a total forecast absorption of 501 tCO2e over a 50-year permanence period, includes the planting of 1,362 native trees, such as conifers and broadleaf species.

ASTURIAS

Reforestation project of 16.9 hectares in Ibias, which will enable a total absorption of 710 tCO2e over its 45-year permanence period. The project includes reforesting the area through the planting of a birch forest, Betula celtibérica, a native species.

MARJAL DELS MOROS

In 2024, a collaboration agreement was signed with Fundación Global Nature for the pre-sale of rights linked to future emission reductions (2025–2035) at Marjal dels Moros in Sagunto. This pioneering project will serve as a pilot for the application, measurement and verification of the results of the scientific research carried out as part of the LIFE Wetlands4Climate project.

LEÓN

Reforestation project covering 3.85 hectares in the town of Vilalobispo de Otero. The project has a 50-year permanence period, with a total forecast absorption of 733 tCO₂e through the planting of Pinus nigra trees.
