Green Builder Media’s New COGNITION Carbon Offsets Marketplace Is Powered by CNaught
April 30 2024 - 12:16PM
Green Builder Media is proud to launch the COGNITION Carbon Offsets
Marketplace. The platform will streamline access to carbon offsets
to mitigate the impact of the built environment. This building
industry-specific carbon solution is powered by CNaught, the
leading provider of science-backed portfolios of high-integrity
carbon credits.
By leveraging CNaught’s expertise in designing carbon credit
portfolios to maximize impact and minimize risk, those who have
relied on Green Builder Media’s expertise in the sustainable
building industry can now purchase CNaught carbon credits directly
through the COGNITION Carbon Offsets Marketplace.
The built environment generates nearly 50% of annual global CO2
emissions. For homes and buildings to reach net-zero, strategies
are necessary to mitigate the impact of structures both during and
after construction. Reduction efforts alone can’t achieve carbon
neutrality in homes and buildings, and embodied and operational
carbon emissions will inevitably remain. A key component to
reaching carbon neutrality is leveraging carbon credits to offset
remaining carbon emissions.
Carbon credits enable builders, developers, manufacturers,
energy firms, and other stakeholders to offset their environmental
footprint while they work to continue to incorporate and improve
decarbonization and other sustainability strategies in every layer
of their operations.
“Since our inception 19 years ago, Green Builder Media has
engaged in every possible activity we could think of to enhance the
sustainability of the built environment,” says Green Builder Media
CEO Sara Gutterman. “We’ve worked with builders, architects,
developers, manufacturers, retailers, distributors, lenders,
municipalities, utilities, and homeowners to increase awareness
about how we can decarbonize homes and buildings.”
With CNaught’s carbon credits, those in the built environment
industry can trust their purchases have real impact. With
diversified portfolio options built with multiple carbon projects
across each of four Oxford categories of carbon removal and
reduction, purchasers can ensure they are mitigating risk and
maximizing their climate impact.
“Decarbonizing isn’t happening fast enough in the built
environment,” says Mark Chen, Cofounder and CEO of CNaught.
“CNaught offers builders a path to carbon neutrality, right now, in
just a few clicks. Using the COGNITION Carbon Credit Marketplace,
companies can purchase a science-backed portfolio of trustworthy
carbon credits to address embodied and operational carbon. We’re
excited to partner with Green Builder Media to bring builders a
carbon credit strategy previously accessible to only the most
sophisticated buyers.”
