See how CIX enables efficient trading for traders and intermediaries
Marquis Energy Global firmly believes that to tackle the impending climate crisis we need to act now. We have the tools and the roadmap to achieve global net-zero emissions in less than 30 years, thereby securing a viable future for our children’s children. The CIX platform is one vital tool that will pool the financial resources for companies and organisations to pursue vetted and compliant NCS projects which will benefit the global commons.
Businesses will play a critical role in achieving global net-zero by 2050. Working with CIX ensures that Vertree can continue to support businesses to reach these goals by allowing access to high quality and verified credits. When Vertree invests in projects, we don’t just look at verified emissions reductions – we ensure the projects protect and promote biodiversity, and that local communities gain from the activity.
The opportunity for verified carbon credits to be financed in an efficient and transparent way is essential for climate action.
