Let's Talk

Offsetting Hard-to-Avoid Emissions

If you’ve said to yourself, “this should be easier,” you’re in the right place. Climate risk, policy changes, and customer preferences are stacking up, and you need a partner you can trust to help you navigate it all.

Our team of experts will provide you with the information you need and match you with a tree-based solution from one or more of the options below that aligns with your goals and meets our rigorous supply quality criteria.

Whether you're looking for fully verified forestry carbon credits today or to invest in projects that grow what's possible, we provide a spectrum of offerings that range from immediate offsets to projects with maximum long-term potential.

Fully Verified Carbon Credits

Simplify your path to achieving your climate goals with fully verified forestry carbon credits, tailored for companies seeking immediate emission-balancing solutions. Seamlessly purchase the amount you require, ensuring your climate claims remain intact and credible.

These carbon credits come from projects where the removals or reductions have already occurred, have already been vetted by third parties, and meet our own high standards. If you have climate targets to hit by 2030 or sooner, you’ll want to start here.

Validated Reforestation Project Expansion

Achieve durable emission removals while actively fostering new tree growth. These proven projects have been validated to sequester carbon dioxide, but actual sequestration will occur in the future.

For example, a project in this category could be an existing reforestation project that already has a track record of validated credits but continues to expand by enrolling new landholders each planting season. In exchange for helping to financially support a project like this, you get a claim for the number of new trees planted, as well as a portion of the project expansion’s future carbon removal credits.

Pre-Validation Reforestation Project Investment

These forecasted carbon removal credits originate from projects that are expected to deliver long-lasting carbon removals, though they are still pending full certification by a respected third-party standard. By investing early, you are taking on a degree of added risk but also playing a critical role in accelerating the development of these projects. Your support helps drive the creation of new carbon removal credits as project developers navigate jurisdictional approvals, fine-tune project designs, and enhance the capabilities of their implementation partners. This strategic investment positions your organization as a catalyst in advancing innovative climate solutions.

Pre-Feasibility Reforestation Project Investment

Investing in pre-feasibility reforestation projects, though higher risk, offers corporations and investors the opportunity to be catalytic in bringing innovative, impactful projects to market. These investments are essential in the early development phase, where funding can unlock the potential for large-scale reforestation and carbon sequestration projects that would otherwise struggle to get off the ground. For companies with ambitious sustainability or net-zero goals, supporting pre-feasibility projects provides a chance to shape project development, build partnerships, and secure access to future high-quality carbon credits. Additionally, being early investors positions corporations as leaders in climate innovation, enhancing their reputation.
