THE PROJECT
WIBEX is a digital support for the forestry professionals. The supply and demand in round woods and timber are instantly connected.
The wood listed will be subject to the standards in use within the forestry industry worldwide, and to a traceability that vows to exclude any suspicious or illegal logging source.
WIBEX sets up carbon credits reflecting the carbon sequestered through the trading and investment activities on the platform. The commercialisation of the carbon credits will reward the WIBEX users pro rata their activity.
