Aura Verde LDA
Aura Verde LDA operates in Mozambique as a circular-economy manufacturing company focused on transforming coconut husk residues into sustainable products. Using mechanical processing and natural drying methods, we produce organic oil absorbents for industrial spill management, coco peat for horticulture and soil regeneration, coir fibre for erosion control and growing media, and nutrient-rich compost. Our business model reduces agricultural waste, avoids methane emissions from decomposition and provides a renewable alternative to peat extraction and petroleum-based absorbents. Through local sourcing, low-impact processing and bio-based materials, our operations contribute directly to emissions reduction and climate resilience in the region.

Commitment
Practices & perspective
“. * As Aura Verde LDA is still in the early stage of operations and 2025 does not represent a full production year, our emissions data remains minimal and not yet representative of our long-term footprint. Nevertheless, we have made meaningful progress in establishing the foundations of our climate strategy, including setting a net zero commitment for 2050, defining our 2026 baseline year and integrating circular and nature-based practices into our operations. In 2024, we also initiated a coconut reforestation programme in partnership with our own Ouro Verde Foundation, planting 4,000 coconut seedlings in Sikiriva (Inhambane) and preparing an additional 10,000 seedlings for planting. This initiative contributes to long-term supply chain resilience, carbon sequestration, community development and climate adaptation. As full production begins in 2026, we will start tracking accurate energy use, Scope 1–3 emissions and progress against our near-term climate targets.”
