ABOUT US

A free market solution to climate change

Core Principles

Our mission is to make a measurable reduction in carbon emissions for our shared planet.

We believe in harnessing the power of the individual, and we do this by applying free-market principles.

Enabling the Individual

Surveys show that most people want to make a positive contribution by reducing their emissions, but lack the guidance and mechanisms to act.

We believe that with the right tools and incentives, a significant portion of society will voluntarily make the simple lifestyle changes needed to positively impact global carbon emissions.

A Two-Sided Marketplace

Companies need reliable carbon offsets.

People want to get compensated for their efforts to do the right thing.

Carbon Cred brings them together.

Employees get rewarded for reducing their transportation emissions, and companies get to claim the high-quality, certified carbon credits generated by their employees’ action.

Flipping the Paradigm

While other companies and movements require payments or donations for carbon credits, Carbon Cred reverses this strategy.

Instead, we pay our customers for generating personal carbon credits.
