A carbon credit represents one tonne of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) that was avoided or removed from the atmosphere, verified under a recognized standard such as Verra (VCS) or BioCarbon Registry.
Why do companies buy credits?
More and more companies buy carbon credits to:
- Meet decarbonization and net zero goals.
- Offset the footprint they cannot yet reduce.
- Respond to ESG demands from investors and clients.
What makes a credit trustworthy?
Integrity depends on traceability: every credit is born with a unique serial in a public registry, is independently verified and is retired in the buyer's name to prevent double counting.
