Problem
Financial systems record monetary transactions but typically do not capture the associated environmental impact, leaving carbon emissions invisible and unmanaged. This lack of real‑time measurement makes it difficult for organizations and individuals to assess, report, or offset their carbon footprint accurately.
Solution
Areka offers an API that integrates with existing finance and retail stacks to convert every transaction into a quantifiable carbon footprint using a combination of static emission factors and AI‑driven metrics. The platform aggregates these micro‑contributions into enterprise‑scale impact data, records each contribution on an immutable blockchain for verifiable proof, and issues Gold Standard‑backed NFT certificates. Users can access live impact streams and real‑time carbon‑balanced totals through the API, enabling continuous monitoring, reporting, and climate‑positive actions without manual processes.
Target Audience
Primary customers are enterprises and financial platforms seeking automated carbon accounting, academic institutions researching climate finance, and consumer‑facing businesses that want to embed impact visibility into their user experience.
