Who buys the credits created?

Last updated on July 27, 2022

Credits can be bought by any organisation who doesn’t have a legal obligation to manage GHG emissions. These are usually companies looking to offset their environmental impact and invest in nature-based carbon removal. They first measure and reduce their emissions, and then look to offset the remaining carbon emissions.
