WHY SUPPLY THROUGH CNAUGHT

CNaught is a different kind of buyer

We take a curated approach

Your project isn't listed among hundreds of others on a marketplace; it's placed into curated portfolios that we recommended to companies looking for high-integrity climate action.

Our purchase is a market signal

Passing our diligence process is a proof point other buyers recognize, opening your project up to additional streams of demand.

Your story reaches the end customer

Every project gets a detailed page on our platform covering quality, ratings, and co-benefits, for corporate buyers to use in their impact reports, public impact pages, and marketing collateral.

DUE DILIGENCE PROCESS

How we evaluate every project

CNaught builds diversified portfolios that include a mix of reduction and removal projects, both nature-based and technology-based.

Every project must be verified and listed under a registry (eg. Gold Standard, Verra, Puro.Earth, etc) and must pass our internal seven-step due diligence process.

We review project additionality, baseline and quantification methodology, permanence and reversal risk, leakage, co-benefits, and developer track record. CNaught is also one of the only providers to incorporate all four major rating agencies (BeZero, Calyx Global, Renoster, and Sylvera) in our review process.
