Green Cubes

We thank you for visting us. Your visit helps make a difference in our commitment to preserving our oceans. Learn more about our sponsorship of Green Cubes through our movie here.

‍

Our business is committed to preserving our oceans at all levels, and just as Pater Noster lighthouse symbolizes being a beacon, we strive to be a beacon for climate action through education, awareness and sponsorship. 

‍

As part of our commitment to protecting the oceans, we are proud to be the world's first sponsor of Green Cubes - a Greentech initiative led by Hexagon subsidiary R-Evolution - which aims to combat ocean acidification by supporting sustainable forestry in Costa Rica. 

‍

The link between deforestation and ocean acidification is unavoidable. As CO2 levels rise, the pH of the ocean changes to dangerous levels for marine life. For centuries, the lighthouse keeper families here have fed on shellfish such as crabs, crayfish and lobsters. Today, these species are under threat. Without action, the high acidity will cause our marine life to suffer, which could prevent lobsters from forming shells, among other things. 

‍

For every cubic meter of accommodation at Pater Noster, we invest in an equivalent amount of rainforest. Green Cubes helps local forest owners and farmers in Costa Rica to adopt sustainable practices that combat climate change and strengthen our ecosystem. The initiative also provides scientists with important data to better understand and combat climate change, based on Green Cubes carefully developed methodology.
