The data, ratings, and insights you need to make carbon offsets a key part of your netzero strategy
If companies hope to make good on their pledges to achieve net-zero emissions by mid-century, they can’t afford to leave any stone unturned. Emissions reduction alone won’t be enough. Nature-based solutions and carbon credits have a vital role to play in making up the difference, but companies often underinvest because they lack reliable information about the design, quality, and efficacy of carbon-offset projects.
That’s why we partnered with Sylvera, the leading carbon intelligence platform. Our goal is to provide company leaders and investors with state-of-the-art, actionable insights on both nature- and technology-based carbon credit initiatives. Now you can identify and prioritize the projects that will yield the highest value and impact, to your business and the planet. The combination of Bain’s expertise in nature-based solutions and carbon transition strategies and Sylvera’s independent ratings, proprietary data and machine-learning technology enables you to confidently plan and benchmark your carbon reduction strategies and credit investments.
