Treehouse joins the Taskforce on Scaling Voluntary Carbon Markets

New climate-focused fintech is one of the first companies to sign a declaration recognising its commitment to lead companies to net zero and avert the climate crisis

Treehouse Markets, a new climate-focused fintech, is proud to announce it is one of the first companies to declare its commitment to leading organisations to net zero and averting the climate crisis, through signing the endorsement letter set out by the Taskforce on Scaling Voluntary Markets.

The Taskforce on Scaling Voluntary Carbon Markets (“TSVCM”) is a private sector-led initiative working to scale an effective and efficient voluntary carbon market to help meet the goals of the Paris Agreement. It was initiated by Mark Carney, UN Special Envoy for Climate Action and Finance; is chaired by Bill Winters, Group Chief Executive, Standard Chartered; and is sponsored by the Institute of International Finance (IIF) under the leadership of IIF President and CEO, Tim Adams. Treehouse Markets joined the Consultative Group of the TSVCM in July 2021.

“Tackling climate change is the largest societal risk the world faces. We will only win this fight if we work together,” said co-founder and CEO, Raymond Harte. “We believe that the voluntary carbon markets can play a critical role in scaling and accelerating action to limit global warming to 1.5°C. This is why we at Treehouse made sure we were one of the first companies to declare our commitments to pioneering change in this very important emerging asset class.”

“Tackling climate change is the largest societal risk the world faces. We will only win this fight if we work together.”

Harte added: “Our focus at Treehouse is to substantially raise standards in trust and transparency which help to establish the infrastructure for a scaled and high-integrity voluntary market for the trading and exchange of carbon credits. We will do this through setting a new global standard in carbon credits, underpinned by an unparalleled level of dynamic data, so that corporates can be confident their carbon offset investments are having a genuine impact on the forests, biodiversity and communities, they are designed to protect.”

Treehouse Markets is working towards the largest single issuance of high quality carbon credits to date. To be the first to know when the pre-launch registration opens, follow Treehouse Markets on LinkedIn or contact us for more information.
