Natural Capital
The rates of both ecosystem destruction and accelerated biodiversity loss are exacerbating the effects of climate change. This demands new metrics that include natural assets as part of an organizations’ decision making. At MAPFRE, we’ve approved the corporate greenhouse gas offsetting strategy. We included biodiversity conservation in our selection of carbon offset projects so that in the near future we will be able to quantify the offset of our environmental impact, both in CO2 and in Natural Capital.
By doing so, we’re ensuring a reversal of our negative impact on the environment.
Our projects
Learn about the main actions carried out by the company in terms of preservation of biodiversity, recovery of ecosystems and reforestation of degraded areas. Through these projects, from playing our part, we show our commitment to the protection of the planet and the fight against the loss of biodiversity and Natural Capital.

Habitat preservation
Employees from VERTI participated in the “Urban gardening” task force, the aim of which was to raise awareness about the need to preserve native plants and animals. This group planted vegetables and fruit trees in green areas around the company’s facilities. This boosted the number of pollinators, helping to preserve biodiversity.

Nuestros Proyectos
Oaxaca IV Wind Farm Project in Mexico
Offsetting of the emissions generated by MAPFRE in Spain in 2021 through the purchase of carbon credits in a wind project developed by the Spanish firm Acciona in Oaxaca (Mexico). The project allows for the production of clean energy to supply nearly 700,000 homes, preventing 670,000 t CO2 eq from being released into the atmosphere. Furthermore, it invests in projects with a positive impact on communities and biodiversity, including:
– An education and entrepreneurship program, contributing to the local economy.
– Initiatives for post-earthquake economic reactivation.
– Online scholarships with ITVCE University.
– Social cohesion through sport.
– Wildlife protection.
Through the purchase of carbon credits as part of this project, MAPFRE offset 15,404 tCO2 of its 2021 carbon footprint, in addition to the 3,000 tCO2 offset as part of the reforestation project in Spain, in Cercedo Cotobade (Pontevedra). See Compensation Certificate.

Reforestation
Reforestation days in Madrid and Malaga, in collaboration with non-profit associations dedicated to promoting sustainable development, to recover plant life and the fight against desertification, preventing land and forest degradation. This initiative saw 172 trees planted. During the workshops, 1-2 year old trees were planted manually using a hoe, carving out a hole, installing a protector, and outlining and protecting the tree pit with leaf litter, plant remains from the area, or stones, as well as watering the trees once in situ to help them take root.
This activity fosters plant life biodiversity in the areas with specimens of different native species, improving the ecosystem as a whole and offering more opportunities for shelter and food for wildlife.

Reforestation
Offsetting of MAPFRE’s emissions in Spain in 2021, through reforestation and the creation of new comprehensive forest ecosystems in Pontevedra (Galicia), in an area that has suffered more than 3 fires over the past 10 years, with BIG DATA, SMART SEEDS, DRONES, and TRADITIONAL MANUAL PLANTING. The repopulation model used incorporates a belt of different species of hardwoods within its perimeter to create a natural barrier against a possible fire, while offering shelter to a multitude of species that are beneficial to the surrounding area. As part of this project, MAPFRE is directly involved in creating forest wealth to fight climate change and deforestation, in addition to generating local employment in this rural area, promoting the economy, tourism, and local development. As part of this initiative, 4874 trees were planted. See Compensation Certificate.
