The senior team helps clients set and execute carbon offsetting strategies with high environmental integrity, manage financial exposure, minimize supply risk, and ensure sustainability by originating and structuring emission reduction and removal portfolios to the needs of corporations, funds, and governments.
We support our clients to deploy capital into high integrity climate action.
