In principle, we welcome any commitment to environmentally sound forest protection and development. External providers are not necessarily needed if the requirements for environmentally sound reforestation are observed. However, it is our understanding that such approaches cannot be currently used for offsetting in Germany. Besides, Germany already has climate targets to enhance the sink function of forests anyway, therefore, successes in this sector are automatically included in Germany's emission balances. Further use of our own offsetting would be double counting of savings without additional added value for the climate. Major providers of offsetting services therefore do not offer German forest projects.
