Empowering Communities and Ensuring Integrity
We acknowledge that carbon markets have faced criticism, including the violation of Indigenous peoples and local communities (IPLCs) rights, forced displacement, and greenwashing. To address these challenges, we are trialling new approaches that prioritise local communities’ rights, ensuring our projects are community-led and protected by robust safeguards. Our commitment is to develop with integrity.
We support organisations, governments, and investors in unlocking sustainable value through expertly designed carbon projects and advisory services. Our expertise lies in leveraging carbon markets to fund impactful, community-based projects that benefit local communities and combat the global climate crisis. Whether it’s launching new initiatives or scaling existing ones, we provide innovative solutions across diverse regions and sectors.
What we offer
Scoping Studies & Heat Mapping
Recent regional scoping studies identified opportunities across Asia-Pacific and East-Africa. Maturing projects resulting from scoping studies include but are not limited to: Nepal, Vietnam, Indonesia, Pakistan, Kenya and South Sudan.
Scoping can include VCM landscape analysis: Article 6 readiness, NDC strategies, political and regulatory backdrops, and project mapping.
Nature-Based Solutions Co-Designed with Communities
Current project type pipeline includes: Cleaner cooking solutions, mangrove (blue carbon) restoration with sustainable shrimp farmers, agroforestry, clean water solutions using solar panels, and avoided methane from rice fields.

Strategic partnership with Save the Children Glocal Ventures
Save the Children Global Ventures has launched a Nature-based Solutions for Children (NbS4C) Hub, seeking to leverage the carbon credit market to fund community-based projects to benefit children and combat the global climate crisis. As the preferred technical partner, we have significant potential to enhance our operations and contribute even further to a positive impact on both climate change and Indigenous communities.
