Introducing the Guarantree Label

This isn’t just another label. It’s proof that your trees are more than a promise: they’re thriving ecosystems backed by science.

At Go Forest, we’ve spent the past five years planting purpose-driven forests with local partners like Sylva Nova. We’re proud to introduce the Guarantree Label: a third-party validated seal that sets a new benchmark for transparency and long-term ecological impact.

What is the Guarantree Label?

The Guarantree Label is Go Forest’s proprietary validation standard for forest restoration projects. Independently verified by Vinçotte (a KIWA company), it guarantees that our reforestation efforts meet rigorous environmental and management criteria, from year one to year thirty.

You can choose from two levels of commitment:

Verified survival,
first 5 years

Confirms that a diverse, healthy mix of trees has been successfully planted in the right location, and monitored for five years to ensure success.

Long-term sustainability,
30 years

Goes beyond planting. Validates ongoing forest management and ecological restoration, delivering ecosystem services like carbon capture, biodiversity, and water regulation for the next three decades.

You can always start with the Light green label and later choose to upgrade to a longer validation period under the Dark green label. It’s a flexible pathway that grows with your sustainability ambitions.

Each project is supported by detailed audits and transparent, traceable data.

Why it matters for your business

Planting trees is no longer just a symbolic gesture, it’s a strategic investment in your ESG journey.

With the Guarantree Label, you gain:

Verified impact
Credible, independently validated data showing your trees are growing and delivering real ecological results.
Stakeholder confidence
Build trust with clients, employees, and investors through transparent, third-party backed reporting.
Long-term value
Especially with the Dark green label, your efforts deliver sustained climate and biodiversity benefits, aligned with global standards like the FSC.
Public transparency
All projects are traceable via our public platform and blockchain-linked certificates. With our new label, you can prove that a third party validated the positive impact you’re reporting.
Tailored storytelling
Use verified data to communicate your impact, from annual reports to social media, with confidence and clarity.

Is there a link with carbon credits?

In Belgium and many European countries, carbon credit certification is still complex and expensive. The Guarantree Label offers a reliable, science-backed alternative to show impact, without the hurdles of traditional offset markets. Having the Guarantree label is not the same as carbon certificates. It proves that your trees are planted in the right way, and that long-term impact (health and resilience of the ecosystem) is being checked and validated.

And for those looking for certified credits, Go Forest also offers Gold Standard-certified carbon projects in Africa, allowing us to meet local and global sustainability goals.

Ready for your own label?

Whether you’ve already planted with us or are just getting started, your forest project may qualify for the Guarantree Label. A validation fee applies, but we’ve made it accessible by spreading the cost over time.
