ZEROCertified is on a mission to help organizations enter and scale-up in the voluntary carbon market.
We believe in the power of carbon markets to stimulate sustainable innovations, and that carbon reduction activities should be rewarded in order to grow year-on-year.
ZEROCertified facilitates organisations in their unique quest, and offer fresh one-stop-shop solutions for entering and operating in carbon markets.
Hands-on assistance to unlock incentives for emission reduction
“We face the urgent threat of climate change, and there is a pressing need for emission reduction from every industry around the world.
Our team reflects on decades of working on sustainability, innovation and technology development in the past, where getting impact-driven projects off the ground was often faced by challenges of financial support. Now the emergence of carbon incentives has helped to turn this around.
Carbon credits are an effective incentive tool, where organizations are rewarded for reducing their CO2 emissions. This helps intra- and entrepreneurs create change within their companies.
We saw an opportunity to leverage our experience more broadly and be the partner in the market that is open, action-oriented and focused on scaling-up carbon negative businesses. We help customers overcome complexities and cut out lengthy procedures as ‘Quality by Simplicity’ is our moto. With our fresh-take on project development, carbon credit certification, method development and trade, we are set to trigger a new wave of sustainable business.”
Those who want to leave footprints will never fly
