The land area designated as a carbon sink and/or biodiversity area must exist and be in a state that comply with our platform rules.

    • ConnectGreen applies a transaction fee for every purchase made through our platform. This fee is paid by the buyer at the point of sale.

  • What is the ConnectGreen escrow account for businesses?
    • Report with confidence. As a business, we understand the necessity of providing investment-grade data, meeting statutory requirements, and satisfying your company’s shareholders regarding environmental compliance and carbon management. Global reporting standards are becoming increasingly stringent, mandating compliance for companies. The last thing you want is to realize that the environmental assets you purchased might be fraudulent leading you have to go back over a number of years to update a previous report. At ConnectGreen, we take our responsibility to your business seriously. When you report to the market, you can do so assuredly. Even in the unlikely event that ConnectGreen falls victim to fraud and an audit uncovers a fraudulent sale that your company has already reported in your annual environmental report, there’s no need to fret. ConnectGreen maintains an escrow account specifically for environmental credits, setting them aside and not for sale. This functions as an insurance policy in case fraud is detected. If such an instance occurs, the matching carbon assets will be allocated to your business account. This forms a crucial part of ConnectGreen’s triple lock guarantee.
