Habitat Carbon Assets was founded to find the most efficient ways to reduce carbon. They develop projects that are designed to efficiently and sustainably create UN grade carbon offsets and generate clean energy. The commercialization of clean technology is critical to addressing global climate change and Habitat’s OffsetID Platform is improving the marketability of cleantech by creating carbon offset revenues from the greenhouse gas reductions these technologies facilitate. This cloud-based software provides reliable, on-demand identification of offset potential—be it on a single application or across multiple dispersed technologies.
We became a B Corp because we fundamentally believe that this is the type of business we, as entrepreneurs and investors, need to be building to address the challenges the world is facing. Having the B Corp certification shows that businesses can and do create positive change in the world.
Their business is reducing carbon, creating jobs for low to middle class workers, and installing clean energy infrastructure. Habitat is an example of a new type of business that only creates positive environmental and social impact - so if they grow, the impact grows.
The Change We SeekTM
Habitat Carbon Assets’ mission is to reduce 20 million tonnes of carbon by 2020. We are achieving this by:
• Helping clean technologies to identify and harness their carbon offset potential, making clean technology more accessible and affordable.
• Financing all costs associated with offset certification and managing every aspect of the offset creation and monetization process.
