• McKinsey and BCG forecast nature-based credit prices could increase 3x-10x by 2030

BURLESON, TX / ACCESS Newswire / July 23, 2025 / Sadot Group Inc. (NASDAQ: SDOT), ("Sadot Group", "Sadot" or the "Company"), an emerging player in the global Agri-food supply chain, announced today its strategic entry into a landmark nature-based carbon project in Indonesia's Riau Islands - marking a significant milestone in its mission to decarbonize commodity supply chains through scalable, nature-positive solutions.

Sadot received its 37.5% equity stake in the Special Development Group (SDG) - the local entity holding full project rights in formal partnership with 11 indigenous coastal communities across the Riau archipelago. The project focuses on the restoration and long-term protection of peatland and mangrove ecosystems, among the world's most effective natural carbon sinks.

A share of these credits will also be used to directly offset emissions from Sadot's operations, further strengthening its net-zero roadmap.

"This project brings operational synergy to Sadot while supports our decarbonization goals across our grain, protein, and logistics verticals," said Chagay Ravid, CEO of Sadot Group. "Nature-based carbon is becoming central to how supply chains will be financed, regulated, and measured in the years ahead, and we are exploring making it a core part of our operational and financial strategy."

Recent research by McKinsey & Company and BCG indicates that prices for high-quality, nature-based carbon credits could rise by 3x to 10x by 2030, driven by increasing corporate demand, regulatory tightening, and growing scrutiny around offset integrity.

SDG has advised that the initiative is expected to generate between 1.1 and 1.2 million high-integrity carbon credits in its first issuance cycle, verified under internationally recognized methodologies. Validation is planned under the VM0007 (REDD+) and VM0033 (Tidal Wetlands Restoration) methodologies, ensuring full compliance with the highest global standards for nature-based carbon projects.

This move builds on Sadot's broader ESG strategy, which includes regenerative farming pilots, lower-emission logistics, and traceable sourcing models. By embedding nature-based solutions at the core of its operations, Sadot is advancing a future where food production and environmental restoration go hand in hand.
