Core Principle

Our quality criteria and what we value

Quality Criteria

At nature.cocraft, we intentionally do not set a single "high-quality" standard. Carbon projects are diverse, and there are many ways companies can contribute to decarbonization. Both carbon removal and avoidance/reduction are important. Even solutions with relatively shorter carbon sequestration durability can be meaningful for climate mitigation as long as re-release occurs after the warming peak. Additionally, some projects with higher permanence risks (such as coastal afforestation activities) may have lower durability but are often significant from an adaptation perspective.

Our Credo
At war against greenwashing / In search of new knowledge
  • Companies can contribute to natural capital in various ways, and there is no single correct answer. Which projects to choose depends on what environmental claims the company wishes to make.
  • We continuously incorporate the latest scientific findings and evaluate each project from a neutral standpoint.
  • While there is no single correct answer, the criteria for evaluating projects are clearly defined. This platform provides consistent support for project discovery, evaluation, contract support, monitoring, and environmental claims.

FAQ

Is this joint procurement platform a fund (financial product)?
No, this platform is not a fund, so you can participate without any initial investment. There are no cash returns; it is purely a service for procuring carbon credits.
We are still considering carbon credit procurement and uncertain about purchasing. Are we eligible to participate?
Yes, we have an "Observer Plan" for such companies where you can learn about carbon credit expertise, the latest trends, and case studies.
Can we choose which projects to participate in?
The conditions for projects considered on this platform are determined at the beginning of each term, taking into account participating companies' opinions, and sourcing is conducted accordingly. Each company can make individual procurement decisions for specific projects. For companies joining mid-term, we will separately listen to your requirements and reflect them in sourcing activities as much as possible.
Why does joint procurement enable efficient credit procurement?
Assessing the quality, expected credit volume, and risks of nature-based carbon credits requires specialized expertise and verification with overseas project developers. By utilizing fees shared by multiple companies participating in this platform, investment analysis and due diligence for each project can be conducted more efficiently, allowing evaluation of more projects at lower cost than individual assessment.
When does each term begin?
Operations began on September 1, 2024. Each cycle (term) is one year, with the current term running until August 31, 2025. We accept participation during the term on an ongoing basis.
