About Us

Sustainable Carbon is a co-developer of greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction projects for the voluntary market that bring substantial social, environmental and financial benefits to all of the stakeholders involved our projects.  

In 2008, Sustainable Carbon (formerly the Social Carbon Company) formed a joint-venture with CantorCO2e, the environmental commodities arm of the Cantor Fitzgerald group. Since then, we have validated over 33 projects and we have another 16 projects in progress. In 2010, we plan to co-develop projects in Chile, Colombia and Paraguay.

While the VCS Standard quantifies the reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, it is the SOCIALCARBON^® Standard that really defines our work. Over the 10-year lifetime of our projects, the entrepreneurs who co-develop the projects with us use the revenues realized from the sale of our credits to better the environment and the livelihoods of the local stakeholders.

Together with our partners and our clients, we harness harmful greenhouse gas emissions and turn them into a positive change agent to bring comprehensive sustainability to the communities and ecosystems on the frontlines of climate change.
