“We view our offsets as extremely high-quality and we focus on strong security and risk management in our services,” stated Ralph Carmichael, CFO and General Counsel at CMX. “XCO2 represents a new era in investing that takes conservation very seriously and views resource protection in a market-driven way. We look forward to working with DealMaker as wemove our work forward.”

As climate disasters continue to mount, the United Nations has warned governments around the world to scale-up measures to avoid major economic damage, including climate costs in the trillions. Carbon Market Exchange’s initial offering will leverage investment in climate mitigation projects to help stabilize the planet’s climate systems. The company is a market leader due to its expertise in local engagement, and ensuring local communities and indigenous populations benefit from carbon offset creation.
