Seamless Offsetting: Expert Matchmaking for Compliance and Voluntary Restoration.

At green account GmbH, we act as the strategic bridge between ecological necessity and economic development. Leveraging decades of experience with the German Impact Mitigation Regulation (Eingriffsregelung), we provide a full-spectrum service suite designed to streamline environmental compliance and unlock private investment for high-integrity nature restoration.

🏗️ 1. Compliance & Planning Support (Offsetting)

For project developers and municipalities, navigating the Federal Nature Conservation Act (BNatSchG) is a critical path to obtaining a planning permit. We manage the "demand side" of the mitigation hierarchy.

• Strategic Sourcing: We identify and secure the ideal compensation or replacement areas (Kompensationsflächen) tailored to the specific ecological needs of your project.

• Permit Optimization: We assist in the justification of unavoidable impacts and ensure that your mitigation measures meet the strict approval criteria of the Lower Nature Conservation Authorities (uNB).

• Cost Management: By utilizing standardized eco-points (Ökopunkte), we turn complex environmental liabilities into predictable, manageable project costs.

🌿 2. Ecological Account Management (Ökokonto)

We help landowners, farmers, and municipalities transform their land into a valuable ecological asset through the banking of compensation measures.

• Asset Development: We guide you through the process of setting up an Ecological Account (§ 16 BNatSchG), from documenting the baseline state to the implementation of "upgradeable" restoration measures.

• Credit Calculation: Using state-approved numerical assessment methods (e.g., LANUV NRW), we calculate the ecological uplift and manage the booking of eco-points into your ledger.

• Long-term Security: We handle the legal safeguarding and maintenance concepts required to ensure your credits remain valid and tradeable for decades.

🤝 3. The Matchmaking Platform

At our core is a specialized marketplace that connects decentralized supply with high-stakes demand.

• Inventory Liquidity: We provide landowners with a platform to "sell" their pre-implemented eco-points to developers who need immediate, high-integrity offsets.

• Efficiency Driven: Our platform removes the "search friction" in the German market, allowing developers to purchase credits on a voluntary basis to satisfy mandatory requirements, significantly accelerating the building permit process.

• Verified Integrity: Every match on our platform is vetted for Additionality and Permanence, ensuring that buyers receive high-quality measures that stand up to state scrutiny.

🌍 4. Voluntary Nature Restoration (CSR & ESG)

Beyond the legal requirements, we empower companies and municipalities to lead in the voluntary biodiversity market.

• Corporate Restoration Strategies: We develop bespoke restoration projects for companies looking to meet ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) goals or contribute to the EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030.

• High-Integrity Credits: Utilizing the same rigorous standards as the compliance market, we ensure voluntary investments result in genuine, measurable, and permanent ecological gains.

• Municipal Green Growth: We assist municipalities in creating holistic "nature networks" that exceed legal quotas, enhancing local biodiversity and the quality of life for residents.

The Green Account Advantage: "Maturity Meets Innovation"

Unlike new, untested market schemes, our services are built on the proven framework of the German system. We bring the "lessons learned" from decades of state-controlled offsetting to the table, providing our clients with:

• Regulatory Certainty in a complex legal landscape.

• Standardized Metrics that are financially accountable.

• Strategic Access to a fragmented, decentralized land-ownership network.
