For Government (as funder)
Government can buy or encourage the development of credits as a mechanism to achieve agreed environmental targets under the Kumning-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework targets

How it works for you
Extend the impact of public funding

FAQ
Government plays a vital role in environmental markets: driving demand through policy, providing assurance by buying credits, and stimulating the market by supporting Eco-Markets. Together those contributions improve environmental outcomes and attract much-needed corporate investment into nature, so that nature is finally valued in an open marketplace.
An ENVOMARK Credit grants its owner the exclusive right to a verified, measurable environmental claim. Once you buy a Credit and make the claim, that Credit is retired for good. Credits can be held and retired at different times, with each retirement supporting a single claim towards your compliance or ESG goals. ENVOMARK Credits are not a licensed financial asset class that requires reporting.
An ENVOMARK Credit represents an environmental outcome that has been measured, independently verified, and can only be claimed once. An ENVOMARK Reef Credit (DIN), for instance, represents a kilogram of dissolved inorganic nitrogen prevented from entering the Great Barrier Reef. That distinction matters, because activity on land does not always translate into an improvement in Reef water quality. An ENVOMARK claim rests on an outcome that has already been achieved.
