Boosting opportunities and alliances in the Peruvian voluntary market ecosystem

What challenges do we face?

The Voluntary Carbon Market (VCM) in Peru has a large

potential, but faces challenges such as lack of transparency, limited

access to financing and training for its actors.

To boost its development, Profonanpe is developing different
mechanisms that contribute to strengthening and energizing this ecosystem.

Carbon Observatory

It is an annual study, developed in partnership with the Center for Investigation from the University of the Pacific, which analyzes the Market Carbon Volunteer in Peru.

Its objective is to generate transparency, facilitate decision-making, make key players visible, and promote investment in carbon projects.

Rupi Capital

The Peruvian Voluntary Carbon Market is sparking growing interest from companies to invest in solutions
 climate, but it still lacks simple and accessible mechanisms to make it a reality.

At Profonanpe, we transform that interest into concrete actions that generate
measurable results for climate, territories and communities.

Why "Rupi"?

 

The name Rupi Capital comes from Rupicola peruvianus, The Andean cock-of-the-rock, an emblematic bird of Peru and a symbol of biodiversity, resilience, and natural beauty, is the inspiration behind the brand's image. For this reason, the brand embraces this essence and assumes a clear purpose: to invest with environmental awareness and build a sustainable future based on the country's natural wealth.

Rupi capital It is the first Peruvian fund created to promote the development of VCM. Its purpose is to finance innovative projects in the country that capture carbon and generate
 environmental, social and economic benefits

To achieve this, the fund finances early-stage initiatives, strengthening a comprehensive carbon system with real impact.
