CNaught vs. Patch

Overwhelmed by the voluntary carbon market when you’d rather be focused on decarbonization?

While Patch is great for large sustainability teams with carbon expertise and resources to dedicate toward project sourcing and diligence, CNaught provides the easiest solution for smaller teams who want a high-integrity portfolio they can trust.

Get Started

Expertly curated, science-aligned portfolios

Unlike marketplaces like Patch, CNaught eliminates the need to sift through dozens of projects or build your own portfolio. We curate science-aligned, balanced portfolios designed to maximize your impact and minimize risk - no assembly required.

‍

Aligned with current best practices from multiple expert sources like Oxford Offsetting Principles & the Offset Guide

Deeper due diligence

Every project goes through our rigorous 7-step diligence process, giving you the most comprehensive quality evaluation in the market. We also offer the market’s only Guarantee with every purchase, providing added confidence that your climate investments deliver real impact.
