What are carbon credits?

Carbon credits represent the reduction or avoidance of one metric ton of CO₂ equivalent emissions, generated by verified environmental projects and used
by companies to support climate and decarbonization strategies.

The regulated carbon market is governed by national or regional authorities that set mandatory emission limits for companies and allow trading of allowances. In contrast, the voluntary carbon market enables companies and individuals to offset their emissions by purchasing carbon credits on a voluntary basis, typically as part of ESG strategies, sustainability goals, or net-zero commitments.
We believe carbon markets should be clear, reliable, and truly impactful, helping companies decarbonize while supporting real environmental and social outcomes.
 
We connect a wide range of stakeholders across the carbon market — including corporate buyers, landowners, project developers, and partners — structuring solutions that are aligned with each side’s needs. We focus on transparency, traceability, and high-integrity standards throughout the entire process.
 
We help companies buy carbon credits as part of their sustainability strategy, and we support project partners in structuring, generating, and selling carbon credits. Our work covers the full lifecycle, from project development and certification to sourcing, commercialization, and retirement.

369 EcoCredits offers high-quality, verified carbon credits from nature-based and environmental projects, including reforestation, avoided deforestation, and ecosystem restoration. All credits are generated under internationally recognized standards to ensure environmental integrity and measurable impact.

REDD and REDD+ carbon credits are typically generated by avoiding deforestation in areas where forests are considered at risk. In these projects, a baseline deforestation rate for the region is estimated, and credits are issued based on the difference between the expected deforestation and the actual deforestation observed during monitoring.
 
Credits generated from native forest conservation can follow a different approach. Instead of relying mainly on estimated deforestation scenarios, these projects may measure the existing carbon stock of the forest directly through field measurements and technical analysis. The certified carbon stock must then be maintained by ensuring that the forest remains protected over time.
 
Another important difference is that, in the methodologies used in our portfolio, projects are required to deliver verifiable social and biodiversity benefits, such as support for local communities and ecosystem protection. In REDD/REDD+ projects, these co-benefits are not always mandatory depending on the methodology applied.
 
At 369 EcoCredits, our portfolio focuses on high-integrity forest protection projects, including avoided deforestation initiatives and projects that certify and protect the carbon stock of native forests, often with measurable environmental and social benefits.

Yes. Our carbon credits are fully verified, issued by recognized registries, and available for immediate use or retirement, depending on your company’s needs.

Carbon credits are issued after a rigorous process that includes project design, third-party validation, continuous monitoring, and independent verification. Once the emission reductions or removals are confirmed, credits are issued by accredited registries.

Carbon credits are used by purchasing and then retiring them in an official registry. Retirement ensures that the credit is permanently removed from circulation and cannot be reused, guaranteeing that the associated emission reduction is claimed only once.

Yes and no. Carbon credits only need to be retired when used to make an official emissions claim. Until then, they can be held as assets and used strategically over time, allowing companies to manage their decarbonization plan, optimize costs, secure future supply, and potentially capture value over time.

Yes, carbon credits can be traded in the market before retirement. However, once a credit is retired, it cannot be resold or transferred, as it has already been used to offset emissions.

It is when the credit delivers its intended impact. When a carbon credit is retired, it delivers a verified climate outcome that can be transparently used in ESG reporting, sustainability disclosures, and corporate decarbonization strategies. The value shifts from being a tradable asset to a reputational, strategic, and risk-management asset. In this sense, retirement is not an expense without return, but an investment in credibility, impact, and long-term corporate value.

369 ensures integrity by working exclusively with certified projects verified by independent third parties and registered in internationally recognized registries. We also provide full traceability, documentation, and reporting to ensure transparency and credibility.

When integrated properly, carbon credits support corporate climate goals, strengthen ESG positioning, and help manage reputational and regulatory risks. They can also be used strategically over time, allowing companies to optimize costs, secure future supply, and benefit from market dynamics.

Yes. We structure and procure carbon credit solutions based on volume, timing, strategic objectives, ESG goals, and specific credit characteristics (such as project type, geography, and co-benefits), supporting both spot and forward purchase structures.
