So that nature remains valuable.
We believe in a future in which we humans once again live in balance with nature and operate within planetary boundaries. That is why the eva foundation pursues the goal of valuing ecosystem services so that it is worthwhile for everyone to preserve nature.

The Ecosystem Value Alliance Foundation was established to promote environmental and climate protection for the common good and to support the education of the population in this area.
By developing scientifically sound, digital and scalable standards, the eva foundation makes it possible to remunerate ecosystem services. By applying these standards, tradable certificates are generated, the sale of which finances the conservation and restoration of ecosystems.
Behind the Bonn-based foundation are motivated employees with expertise in the fields of forestry and agricultural science, standardization, certification, policy, strategy and communication.

In addition to developing the standard, eva service gmbh is responsible for coordinating and moderating the Forest Climate Council and the Technical Committee, programming and developing the technical platforms (digital standard, certification platform, impact register) and training on the standard.
