# For-Profit Ecological Restoration Accion Verde Plants Trees in Tactical Areas of Colombia By Tiana Reid | Published 2013-01-11 | Social Good Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/accion-verde References: [bcorporation.net](http://www.bcorporation.net/community/directory/accion-verde) & [accionverde.org.co](http://www.accionverde.org.co/) Based in Bogotá, Colombia, Acción Verde is a certified B Corporation that makes its money through committing to making the world better -- environmentally and socially. In that way, it's a true social and environmental business and, of course, an apt fit as a B Corporation. The enterprise plants trees in planned areas of Colombia in order to assess ecological restoration. On the B Impact Report, the for-profit organization had an overall score of 115 (out of 200) and its top areas were community and environment, of which 65% and 66% were earned, respectively. That data comes from the date of certification, which wasn't too long ago, in August 2012. **Contact Information** Acción Verde website Acción Verde on [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/AccionVerdeColombia) Acción Verde on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/AccionVerdeCol) Acción Verde on [YouTube](http://www.youtube.com/user/AccionVerdeColombia) Acción Verde on [Picasa Web Albums](https://picasaweb.google.com/118334352894233209778) ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.9/10 - Popularity: 3% | Activity: 16% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: South America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Social Good](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialgood) > [Social Business](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialbusiness) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Certified B Corporations:** Opportunity to create for-profit businesses that prioritize social and environmental impact. - **Ecological Restoration:** Opportunity for businesses to focus on restoring ecosystems for environmental sustainability. - **Community and Environment Impact:** Opportunity to measure and improve impact on community and environment through social and environmental initiatives. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Environmental Consulting:** Disruptive innovation opportunity to provide consulting services for businesses looking to prioritize environmental impact. - **Sustainable Agriculture:** Opportunity to develop innovative farming methods that promote ecological restoration. - **Socially Responsible Investing:** Opportunity to invest in businesses that prioritize community and environmental impact. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Tree-Planting Retail Initiatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/albertsons-companies.md) - [Subscription-Based Climate Action Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/climate-action-platform.md) - [Ecosystem Restoration Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/green-wedge.md) - [Business-Focused Environmental Responsibility Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wildsight.md) - [In-Game Tree-Planting Initatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/match-masters.md) - [Massive Tree-Planting Initiatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/national-forest-foundation.md) - [Tree-Planting Spa Initiatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/environmental-sustainability-program.md) - [Community Tree-Planting Applications](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/furthr.md) - [Environmental Sustainability Business Initiatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/butterfly-pavilions.md)
