Sustainability advisory firm ERM announced today the launch of the ERM Carbon Credit Portal, a new solution providing the firm’s clients with access to carbon credits through the voluntary carbon market (VCM).
According to ERM, the new portal comes as clients increasingly look to carbon credits to complement their greenhouse gas emissions reduction strategies and help mitigate unabated emissions, while the carbon market faces challenges ranging from integrity concerns, greenwashing-based reputational risks and the emergence of multiple standards and methodologies.
Designed to streamline carbon credit selection and the purchasing experience, the new portal connects users with pre-screened projects, enabling buyers to assess the climate and co-benefits of each project, and providing a deeper understanding of project risks and positive outcomes, allowing companies to choose, purchase and retire carbon credits matching their specific requirements.
Alexander Cox, Head of Carbon Markets at ERM said:
“Our aim is to offer transparent, strategic and unbiased access to carbon credits, providing insight that brings our clients closer to project outcomes and enables informed carbon credit procurement to complement their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction action.”
ERM also announced a strategic investment in digital carbon credit platform CEEZER, and a partnership with the company to leverage its platform to help power the new portal.
Magnus Drewelies, CEO at CEEZER said:
“By integrating our data-centric carbon credit platform with ERM’s extensive sustainability expertise, we’re empowering organizations to make informed, strategic decisions in the voluntary carbon market. This collaboration not only enhances transparency and trust but also ensures that clients have access to carbon credits that align with their broader sustainability goals.”
