About Go Forest
Go Forest is a mission-driven organisation that helps companies create real impact. We restore nature, support biodiversity, and compensate residual CO₂ emissions through transparent projects worldwide.
Our ambition? To become the leading company in nature restoration, with radical transparency as a core value. Through our own impact platform, clients can follow in real time where, how, and with which tree species their impact is growing.
We work internationally, with projects in Belgium, Europe, Latin America, Africa, and India, ranging from restoration projects without certification to externally validated carbon-credit projects.
Why we're looking for you
