Our take
Offsetting climate emissions is a huge priority for businesses, with motives including conducting sustainable business, meeting government regulations, improving brand image, and saving finances. However, the discovery and logistic process of getting involved with climate action projects can be difficult to navigate.
Patch provides a climate action platform that aims to help businesses meet their carbon footprint goals through a carbon removal project marketplace. In addition to being able to financially contribute to such services, companies can also use Patch's API to embed carbon footprint estimation and removal tools in their product, facilitating climate action through every transaction.
There are many climate action projects that businesses can contribute to financially, but it can be difficult to discover them, and Patch has been smart to make this process simpler. The company is also expanding outside of carbon removal projects, offering projects on its marketplace concerning regenerative agriculture, solar farms, enhanced weathering, and kelp farming. Funds raised by Patch are cited to support hiring and growth, as well as helping to accelerate the development of its technology.
