We celebrate and protect biodiversity and ecosystem services.
We celebrate natural wealth and care for it. It is a commitment, a way of acting, and a central pillar of our purpose. We recognize that biodiversity and its ecosystems are fundamental to maintaining vital balance.
We consider nature a key asset, a strategic risk, and a material topic. Therefore, we analyze dependencies, impacts, risks, and opportunities within the TNFD (Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures) framework, using the LEAP1 methodology: Locate (identify activities and ecosystems), Evaluate (identify impacts and dependencies), Assess (analyze risks and opportunities), and Prepare (communicate results and report).
We understand that biodiversity and ecosystem services underpin human well-being and our long term success. That is why sustainability, planetary boundaries, and the mitigation hierarchy principle are the foundations for project development.
▸Commitment to Biodiversity and No Deforestation
At Celsia, we do not carry out activities in protected areas or nature reserves2. We manage biodiversity impacts under the mitigation hierarchy principle, promote environmental protection with an emphasis on preventing deforestation, and prohibit the acquisition of timber from natural forests or protected species. We extend this commitment to our supply chain through our policies and contracts.
We compensate with native and endangered species, supporting the creation of biological corridors and the ecological connectivity of species. This is how we materialize our commitment to a positive net impact, no deforestation, and no biodiversity loss.

▸Biodiversity assessment and exposure.
At Celsia, the biological diversity of our operating and project environments is fundamental; therefore, we are committed to understanding, managing and conserving it. We assess and map our operating sites to identify their relevance in terms of biodiversity and ecosystem services, and we analyze the impacts that our activities could generate on the different ecosystems.

▸ReverdeC
Our voluntary ecological restoration initiative ReverdeC was born in 2016 and transformed into the ReverdeC Foundation. Today, through this, we have a goal of planting 50 million trees by 2030. In 2024 we reached an accumulated figure of 18,005,015 in Colombia, in 8,042 hectares. During this period we planted 2,237,711 and restored 746 hectares
EEducation and Outreach
We believe that cooperation and working together enable the conservation and restoration of ecosystem services and biodiversity. We transparently publish biodiversity information generating scientific and academic knowledge.
