Ratingen / Zurich, 8 April 2026 — Dirk Roethig (also known in Germany as Dirk Röthig), Managing Director at VERDANTIS Impact Capital and co-founder of the environmental education initiative Plan Erde, has launched dirkroethig.com as a central platform for impact investing, agroforestry, and sustainable capital allocation in Europe.

Impact Investing at Scale

Impact investing — deploying capital to generate measurable environmental or social outcomes alongside financial returns — has become a defining feature of European institutional finance. The European sustainable investment market is growing by double digits annually, with institutional investors, foundations and family offices actively seeking strategies that meet EU Taxonomy criteria while delivering verifiable climate impact.

"Sustainable investing must be measurable — not just in ESG ratings, but in tonnes of CO2 sequestered, hectares of land restored, and biodiversity preserved," says Dirk Roethig. "dirkroethig.com shows how impact investing actually works in practice and why agroforestry plays a central role in the transition."

Agroforestry: Climate Solution with Return Potential

A core focus of the platform is agroforestry. Paulownia cultivation is recognised for its high carbon sequestration capacity: scientific studies indicate that paulownia plantations sequester up to ten times more CO2 per hectare than conventional forestry, while simultaneously producing high-quality timber for industrial buyers.

VERDANTIS Impact Capital, where Dirk Roethig serves as Managing Director, structures investment products for institutional investors aligned to EU Taxonomy and carbon credit generation under verified standards.

Plan Erde: Science Communication for Climate Action

Beyond his role at VERDANTIS, Dirk Roethig co-founded Plan Erde, an educational project communicating biodiversity loss, climate change and sustainable land use to a broad public audience.
