Bregal Sphere Announces Investment in Agroforestry and Reforestation Project, Jubilación Segura
Investment to support the expansion of an established project over 5,000 hectares of degraded land in the Peruvian Amazon LONDON, June 19, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Bregal Sphere today announced an investment in Jubilación Segura ("the Project"), an agroforestry and reforestation initiative focused on coffee and cocoa landscapes in the Peruvian Amazon. Bregal Sphere will invest in an expansion of the Project, aiming to double the Project's size, enabling the distribution of 4.4 million trees over the next five years and the restoration of more than 5,000 hectares of degraded land. The Project will seek to engage over 4,000 additional smallholder farmers and is forecast to remove approximately 1.3 million tons of CO2 equivalent by 2039. Established in 2010 by PUR, a leading developer of nature-based solutions projects with over 16 years of experience, Jubilación Segura was first launched to address the urgent need for landscape restoration in regions heavily affected by deforestation and unsustainable agricultural practices. Building on a long and successful track record of close collaboration with two of the largest coffee and cocoa cooperatives in the San Martín region, Acopagro, and Oro Verde, PUR has developed a community-driven model that blends reforestation with resilient, diversified agricultural systems. Agustin Silvani, Managing Partner at Bregal Sphere, commented, "We are proud to partner with PUR to scale up their pioneering agroforestry models that aim to transform traditional coffee and cocoa production into sustainable and resilient carbon sinks. Through our investment and long-term engagement, we seek to double the scale of impact and position the Jubilación Segura project for high-integrity carbon markets with positive impacts for farmers, the climate, and biodiversity. This is a pivotal role private capital can play in climate action – scaling proven climate solutions." Meike Carmen Willems, Country Manager, Peru at PUR, stated, "This partnership allows us to amplify the positive impacts of an operation we have built over the past 14 years. With Bregal Sphere's investment, we can scale our work with smallholder farmers, restore vital ecosystems, and deliver high-integrity climate benefits at a time when the world urgently needs them." To enhance the resilience of its investment, Bregal Sphere secured innovative insurance coverage from specialist insurer CFC to mitigate external risks associated with carbon removal projects. Bregal Sphere was advised by Howden, Norton Rose Fulbright, twentyfifty, and AXA Climate.
