Our mission and values
Where does the aDryada name come from?
In Greek mythology, dryads (from the ancient Greek drus, “oak”) are nymphs who protect the forests.
Our mission is to scale up the restoration and protection of Nature for and with people by mobilizing investment. We believe that the diversity of life must be restored and preserved so that the world is sustainable for all.
aDryada dares to:
Pioneer the development of large-scale restoration projects of degraded ecosystems, generating high-quality carbon credits, to meet the needs of the planet. This requires innovation in processes and technologies to address the associated biodiversity, social, and operational challenges.
Support the creation of a global market with a new financial instrument adapted to nature preservation: biodiversity certificates. To that end, aDryada has co-founded and leads the Organization for Biodiversity Certificates.
Because aDryada’s projects are complex and long-term, with a lasting impact on the lives of local populations, integrity, trust and respect are put at the heart of all our stakeholder relationships.
The company works with communities to improve the resilience of their economic and social livelihoods.
Our unique methodology of revenue-sharing ensures that there is a fair, transparent, and equitable distribution of revenue between stakeholders.
Maintaining team cohesion through mutual trust and respect is essential to bringing new and complex projects to fruition.
and respect for people
Agility is critical to succeed on our constantly evolving market.
Managing multiple projects at different stages of development simultaneously requires both agility and operational excellence, to quickly adapt and reorganize when necessary.
Anticipation and agility are crucial for adapting to evolving local, regional, and global frameworks in a voluntary carbon market that is formalizing itself and a biodiversity market in its infancy.
