What is a Green Certificate?
A Green Certificate is a contract that has as its object the future of a tree.
In short, SFE's intent is to plant a tree for every Green Certificate acquired, to provide for its maintenance and to its cutting after 15, 20, 25 years, depending on the age and the variety of the tree. Finally, SFE will deliver to its owner 1.5 m3 of wood or its value on the wood market at the time of the conclusion of the Green Certificate contract.
The buyer, therefore, once having purchased online the future of the tree of the desired age and variety, just has to wait for the growth of the tree as planned. If the buyer decides to withdraw from the plan, he/she can entrust SFE to put the tree back for sale at an agreed price that reflects the tree's age and variety.
The sale price of 1.5 m3 of wood will be determined by the market at the time of the cutting.
