Climate Impact Partners

What Climate Impact Partners does

Climate Impact Partners is a London-headquartered carbon market specialist formed through the 2020-2021 merger of ClimateCare and Natural Capital Partners, with operational roots dating to 1997 and 27 years of accumulated voluntary carbon market experience. The company operates an end-to-end platform that sources, validates, transacts, and retires high-integrity carbon credits from nature-based solutions (reforestation, blue carbon, improved cookstoves, REDD+) and engineered carbon removal technologies (direct air capture, enhanced rock weathering, biochar), serving primarily Fortune Global 500 enterprises and mid-market companies pursuing credible net-zero commitments. Its proprietary 10-stage quality assurance process — incorporating satellite imagery, GIS analysis, social impact assessments, and reputational risk review — is aligned with ICVCM's Core Carbon Principles, and the firm leads development on 40% of all Verra VM0047 ARR projects globally. Supporting technology includes a client-facing digital dashboard for transaction tracking (launched 2023) and the Maiven AI platform for personalized climate policy insights (launched 2025).

The company generates revenue primarily through transaction fees on carbon credit sales across a portfolio of 600+ projects in 60+ countries, supplemented by transaction-based revenue from energy attribute certificates (EACs and RECs) and Sustainable Aviation Fuel (via its partnership with Future Energy Global), plus professional services fees for project development work including feasibility, registration, and carbon finance sourcing. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales, with dedicated Client Solutions Directors serving the US and Europe, supported by an inaugural Customer Advisory Board of 18 leading companies representing $400 billion in aggregate annual revenue; the company added nearly 100 new clients in 2024 and executed the largest single transaction in voluntary carbon market history (1 million tonnes with GreenTrees in 2026). Customer logos span financial services (Microsoft, Aviva, Schroders, Sucden Financial, Tandem), professional services (Deloitte, DWF), manufacturing (LEGO), automotive (Honda), and property (Derwent London). The firm is B Corp certified, holds an SBTi-validated net-zero target, and has been voted Best Offset Retailer in Environmental Finance's Voluntary Carbon Market Rankings for 13 consecutive years.
