Transforming Sustainability with Forest Carbon: Powered by Planet, Delivered by Swift Geospatial
The Role Of Forests
Forests are among the most critical tools in the fight against climate change. They act as carbon sinks, absorbing vast amounts of carbon dioxide and helping to mitigate the global carbon footprint. For businesses operating in forestry, agriculture, and mining, managing forest resources responsibly is not only a regulatory requirement but also a key element of sustainability strategies.
However, measuring and monitoring aboveground forest carbon has long been a challenge. Traditional methods, such as field surveys or airborne assessments, are labour-intensive, expensive, and often incomplete. Planet’s Forest Carbon product changes this paradigm, offering cutting-edge satellite-based technology that provides accurate, scalable, and cost-effective forest carbon monitoring.
As a proud licensed reseller of this revolutionary product, Swift Geospatial brings the power of Forest Carbon directly to businesses, helping them achieve sustainability goals, ensure compliance, and make data-driven decisions.

Global Accessibility
Planet’s satellite network ensures coverage across the globe, providing data from remote or inaccessible areas where traditional methods are impractical.
Regulatory Compliance
As environmental regulations like the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) grow stricter, Forest Carbon enables businesses to meet compliance requirements by providing transparent, verifiable data on deforestation and carbon stocks.
How Industries Benefit from Forest Carbon
Forestry
Forestry companies can use Forest Carbon to monitor forest health, track deforestation, and measure the carbon impact of reforestation initiatives. By integrating this data into operational strategies, businesses can demonstrate sustainable forest management practices and validate carbon credits.
Agriculture
In agriculture, monitoring deforestation in supply chains is critical to meeting regulatory and consumer demands for sustainability. Forest Carbon enables companies to track changes in land use, prevent illegal deforestation, and ensure compliance with global sustainability standards.
Mining
Mining operations near forested areas often have significant environmental impacts. Forest Carbon helps mining companies measure deforestation, monitor land rehabilitation efforts, and demonstrate their commitment to reducing environmental harm.
