We're proud to announce that the Warranty and Indemnity policy placed by Howden on our certified Carbon Credits has won the Voluntary Carbon Market Rankings 2024 "Best Initiative" Award! Thank you to everyone who voted for our project in any of the listed categories, we truly appreciate your support. We want to congratulate everyone involved in bringing the product to market: - Climate Law Ltd - Cross-jurisdictional carbon regulatory advice were fantastic in the legal and contractual aspects of the policy, as well as ensuring full coverage and risk mitigation for the project. - Cercarbono as a standard ensured that credit integrity was of the highest calibre, and covered off many of the risks associated with carbon projects (co-benefits, no double-counting, non-permanence and leakage) - ALLCOT's technical support on the certification process ensured that our documentation and project as a whole can stand up to the highest standards of the carbon market. - AENOR provided solid and comprehensive audit services, both on the ground and remotely, addressing many of the concerns which have prevented other projects securing insurance. - EcoRegistry's traceability and robust registry has provided stakeholders in the credit insurance process with comfort on the avoidance of double-counting and showing clear and concise project information. - And, of course, Howden as a broker have been fantastic in working with Mere to structure the product to fit our requirements, as well as those of buyers and the voluntary carbon market as a whole. We hope more and more projects work with Howden to attain W&I insurance, which will increase the integrity of the voluntary carbon market and channel institutional capital into de-risked climate solutions.

The Environmental Finance Carbon Market Awards, 2024, are now open for nominations! We are proud to be nominated by partner companies for the following categories: Best Market Innovation/Best Crediting Innovation - The Voluntary Carbon Market's first ever full Warranty and Indemnity (W&I) Policy for carbon credits, brokered by Howden. This guarantees that the information about our carbon project is true, from the carbon removals amounts to our social and environmental impact. This policy has the potential to reintroduce trust to a broken carbon market and influence finance flows to genuine, tangible carbon action. Best Project Developer, Forestry and Land-Use/Best Project Developer, Overall - Mere have this year (confirmed by our recently published audited accounts) become one of the most successful forestry companies in the UK, and one of the most successful tropical hardwood companies on the planet. Our best-in-industry carbon removals per hectare, per year, support our sustainable growing methods and show that doing it the right way, maintaining canopy cover and integrating native species into our stands feeds through to economic success. This, when done properly, directly benefits the local communities through solid employment and social initiatives. These communities are key to who we are, and what we do. We would also like to recommend these carbon market players for the following categories. In working with these companies, they have shown their integrity and ability to contribute effectively to the future of the carbon market and environmental impact: Best Advisory/Consultancy - ALLCOT Best Law Firm - Climate Law Ltd - Cross-jurisdictional carbon regulatory advice Best Verification Company - AENOR Best GHG Crediting Programme/Standards Setter: Cercarbono Best Registry Provider - EcoRegistry https://lnkd.in/eKbSFBaA #teak #timber #wood #sustainabledevelopment #forestry #sustainable #sustainability #ghana #green #trees #growth #climatechange #FLEGT #trade #biodiversity #africa #ethical #circulareconomy #carbon #carboncredits #carbonmarkets #environmentalfinance #voluntarycarbonmarket #vcm
