Client / Your.EARTH
Make room for nature to recover.
Your.EARTH helps companies become Nature-Positive Partners. The proposed approach connects a nature plan, financing, delivery and measurable progress to concrete partner requirements and independent assessment. Your.EARTH is an RTE client; use of this model is a separate choice within our independent services.
CLIENT OF REGENERATE THE ECONOMY
Your.EARTH
NATURE & BIODIVERSITY
What this challenge
brings together.
- A clear programme structure, allocation of roles and accountability.
- Financing agreements and budgets suited to the timescale of nature restoration.
- Baselines, local collaboration, restoration measures and tracking of results.
The partner pathway is set out in draft standard YE-STD-01 v0.1. Admission requires the necessary evidence and independent assessment under an adopted standard. Participation is not an ISO requirement and does not certify a business as a whole as nature-positive.
YOUR.EARTH / GUIDANCE TOWARDS PARTNERSHIP
Becoming a partner takes
more than a contribution.
Your.EARTH helps companies become Nature-Positive Partners. With a specific site, an executable nature plan and evidence of the agreements made.
The proposed partner standard sets requirements for financing, additionality, baseline, delivery, stewardship and independent assessment. An ISO certificate or financial contribution alone does not confer partner status.

YOUR.EARTH / SUPPLIED FINANCING CONCEPT
Capital that keeps working.
For a living landscape.
First, a structurally financed programme. Then, additional contributions. Ongoing insight into expenditure and results.
The Your.EARTH concept distinguishes matched contributions, revolving capital and project-specific commitments. Each pathway has its own conditions; baseline, governance and reporting provide the common foundation. RTE can help develop the assumptions, cash flows, risks and agreements into an assessable plan.
Target matching
Your.EARTH and nature partners aim to provide an equal 2% contribution: together, a 4% programme.
Interest in the concept
The revolving pathway uses interest-free loans with agreements on repayment and risk.
Redeploy capital
Repaid funds can finance another round of restoration.
ILLUSTRATIVE CALCULATION FROM THE CONCEPT
€10 million qualifying value.
€400,000 target programme budget.
Based on an agreed qualifying contract or investment value of €10,000,000.
Illustrative calculation, not a commitment. Matching becomes part of the available budget only once funding and conditions have been confirmed.
From ambition to agreements.
Define the contribution base, allocation, selection criteria and responsibilities in advance. Expenditure is assigned to a named landscape and approved programme, with release against milestones.
From commitment to available funds.
Substantiate matching, terms, liquidity and financing conditions before delivery.
From capital to a specific place.
Connect funds to measures in a landscape, with local delivery partners and long-term stewardship.
From results to the next round.
Baseline and monitoring support assessment; repayments and redeployment have their own financial records.
THREE FINANCING PATHWAYS. THE SAME EVIDENCE REQUIREMENT.
Matched contribution
A contractual contribution of 2% of the qualifying value, with a target equal match.
What the participant receives
A financed programme and reporting. This contribution is not repaid.
Arrange in advance
Qualifying value, confirmed matching, allocation and release against milestones.
Revolving capital
Capital lent at 0% interest for local delivery.
What comes back
The principal under the loan terms, intended for redeployment in the same landscape.
Arrange in advance
Repayment source, credit and loss policy, and reinvestment mandate.
Project-specific commitments
An agreed share of project capital or future revenues allocated to the landscape.
What it enables
Nature measures included in financing and delivery from the outset.
Arrange in advance
Project conditions, appropriate participants and verifiable evidence.
Additional contributions strengthen the programme.
In the concept, donations from companies, employees and residents supplement an already financed landscape programme. Matching, expenditure and accountability for these contributions are also arranged in advance.
Presentation of the concept supplied by Your.EARTH. Availability, matching, loan conditions and independent assessment must be established for each programme. This is not a financing commitment, RTE fee or ISO requirement. The percentages say nothing about nature or climate results already achieved.
