Problem
Many companies, especially in hard-to-abate sectors, struggle to reduce greenhouse gas emissions within their own supply chains (Scope 3 emissions). Existing carbon offsetting methods don't directly address these internal emissions, and sustainability projects often lack the financial incentive to scale effectively.
Solution
Proba offers a blockchain-secured insetting service that enables companies to generate verified impact units by reducing greenhouse gas emissions directly within their value chain. This approach allows companies in sectors like fertilizers and construction to improve the business case for their sustainability projects. Proba's service issues, manages, and supports the trading of environmental Impact Units, streamlines the verification and tracking of environmental benefits, and supports the co-financing of sustainability projects. The platform aligns with SBTi guidelines, GHG Protocol, and other industry standards.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes companies in hard-to-abate sectors like fertilizers, metals, construction, and bio-based materials seeking to decarbonize their supply chains and improve the financial viability of sustainability initiatives.
