BeZero Rating

The highest rating assigned to an AUD project

In September 2026, the Tauari Project received a pre-issuance BeZero Carbon rating of “A.pre” with low project execution risk — the highest rating currently assigned to an avoided unplanned deforestation (AUD) project. Tauari is also the first AUD project to achieve an “aa” risk score for additionality, alongside “a” risk scores for carbon accounting and permanence, setting a new benchmark for AUD integrity. The project is progressing through certification under Equitable Earth’s M002 methodology (Project ID 2001).

CEO, Samauma

“This recognition positions Tauari among the strongest AUD projects in the market. The ‘aa’ assessment for additionality is especially meaningful, as it reflects not only the strength of the project’s climate case but also the commitment built with surrounding communities and stakeholders to make long-term forest conservation viable. Together with ‘a’ assessments for carbon accounting and permanence, and an overall ‘A.pre’ rating with low project execution risk, it provides powerful independent validation of Tauari’s integrity. We are also pleased to see Equitable Earth’s M002 establishing a new high-integrity pathway for AUD projects, and proud that Tauari is progressing through it. We are excited to be part of this new generation of forest carbon projects.”

LAND REGULARIZATION

Property acquired by Samauma, following extensive legal and land due diligence.

The model ensures economic visibility, long-term project sustainability, and scalable resource utilization.

No intersection with public lands or areas occupied by indigenous or traditional communities.

The Tauari Project works together with local families, aiming to strengthen the forest-based economy. This principle is the path for families to achieve prosperity and sustainable economic independence.”
