ECO2 International, marketplace based in Madrid, is the recently created startup that provides companies and individuals with solutions to offset their carbon footprint and reduce taxes on greenhouse gas emissions generated by their activities through the purchase of carbon credits. Through different sustainable environmental projects, ECO2 International intervenes in the voluntary carbon credit market through a blockchain-based system that guarantees the traceability and verifiability of the impact of these carbon credits.

Thanks to its unique promoter and marketer model, the company, which expects to close the year 2023 with a turnover of 2 million euros, ensures the traceability, security, validity, and quality of each step in the process. According to Miguel Angel Tobaruela, CEO of ECO2 International, «we provide climate solutions for the decarbonization of the company tailored with a focus on the promotion and development of sustainable projects that are marketed through the sale of carbon credits in the Voluntary Carbon Market (VC). Our goal is to help meet sustainability goals using the purchase of carbon credits as an accelerator and contribute to the 2030 Agenda.» Concha Sánchez-Ocaña, Chief Strategic Officer, adds, «we want to be a strategic ally for companies to carry out their carbon footprint compensation process and at the same time help the sustainable projects with which we collaborate to obtain financing.»

By acquiring certified carbon credits through ECO2 International, different benefits are obtained such as attracting customers committed to sustainability, improving brand reputation, competitive benefits in public tenders, and anticipating future market demands and environmental regulations.

ECO2 International projects generate emission reductions and maintain long-term sustainability. With standards certified and validated by official organizations such as MITECO, AENOR, Verra, and BioCarbon Registry, each generated carbon credit has its own blockchain code, ensuring full and transparent identification. The company, which also performs advisory functions, is not limited solely to selling the carbon credits in its portfolio but also acts as a strategic partner seeking tailor-made projects that meet the requirements of its clients, whether in terms of location or objectives.

ECO2 has developed a selection methodology based on the strength of the certifiers, auditors, and validators involved in the process, assigning a higher percentage to the diversification of projects that offer the greatest guarantees in terms of supply (available volume), project duration (to meet the medium and long-term decarbonization needs of the client), and traceability in the transaction and accounting, aspects that are carefully evaluated and preselected in all cases.

ECO2 International is the result of the common concern of a group of professionals from various sectors united under the purpose of addressing the challenges posed by decarbonization. One of the main objectives of the company, conceived under the boutique concept in order to personalize both project management and customer treatment, is to connect business sustainability with tangible programs that generate a positive impact on vulnerable communities, preserving natural ecosystems, protecting biodiversity, and promoting economic and social development of the communities involved in our projects.

Currently, ECO2 develops natural or artificial offset projects in Latin America (Uruguay, Chile, and Colombia), Spain, and the rest of Europe, encompassing almost 6 million hectares of territory committed to sustainability and social well-being.
