🌍 The Imperative of Transparency in #CarbonCredits Carbon credits also referred to as carbon #offsets enable companies to offset their pollution emissions. They do this by funding carbon credit projects in underdeveloped communities that either (1) absorb carbon (planting trees) or (2) reduce emissions (renewable energy). For every 1 ton of Carbon offset a carbon credit is generated and issued similar to a stock. The carbon credits are traded in a booming #marketplace worth over $2 trillion. Without #transparency in this system, we will continue to have failed carbon credit projects and communities will continue to suffer the most. 💡 Why Transparency Matters: 1. Community Trust: Builds trust with impacted communities, ensuring they see real benefits. 2. Corporate Accountability: Enhances company reputation and consumer trust. 3. Environmental Integrity: Ensures genuine emission reductions and avoids greenwashing. 🔍 Call to Action: 1. Clear Reporting: Companies should share detailed information about their carbon credit purchases. 2. Accountability: Transparency holds climate funds, project developers, and verifiers accountable, eliminating greenwashing and ensuring funds are used effectively. 3. Community Engagement: Involve local communities in project planning and implementation. #Transparent carbon credits create a more #equitable and #effective market, benefiting both the #environment and #people. Let's push for genuine #sustainability. 🔗 Join the movement for transparent and accountable carbon credits. #Sustainability #CarbonCredits #ClimateAction #Transparency #CorporateResponsibility #CommunityEngagement Caelum Resources Danco Engelbrecht Christophe Nourissier Benjamin Chimutengo Nyasha Frank Mpahlo Jamie Bartley Kathleen Delaney

In a recent episode of H/L Ventures' For Starters, we pointed out that 70% of unicorns have at least one founder from an underrepresented group. As we said then, it highlights how having diverse viewpoints involved can spark innovation and growth. Despite this, new research shows a major funding gap for diverse women and minorities. Racially diverse, all-female startup founding teams with minorities spent the longest time fundraising in 2023 at an average of 25 weeks, a 67% increase from 2022. By comparison, all-male teams secured more funding and at a faster pace. What can be done to address this gap? #Investing #Diversity #Startups
