Verdeo Group works with businesses to identify, develop and monetize emission reduction opportunities. Our customers include leading industrial companies and investor groups that believe adopting a proactive plan to understand and manage their emissions will lead to improved financial performance, energy savings, and competitive advantage.

Helping US Companies Benefit in the Expanding Carbon Market

Driven by the implementation of the Kyoto Protocol, the global market for emission reductions has rapidly grown to exceed $100 billion. Yet while foreign companies have profited by creating tradable carbon credits from emission reduction projects, US entities have largely been on the sidelines. The rapid growth of the global carbon market, combined with the increasing momentum towards regulation of greenhouse gas emissions in the US, presents companies and investors with numerous opportunities.

Turning Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Liability to Asset

Putting a price on emissions can have a significant impact on corporate strategy, asset valuations, and growth prospects. Verdeo Group was formed to enable companies to “win” in the carbon market, capturing the maximum value possible from their domestic and international emission reduction initiatives. We show our customers how to turn today's carbon footprint into an asset rather than a liability.

Practical Experience Implementing Emission Reduction
Projects in US and Abroad

Backed by Black River Asset Management, a subsidiary of Cargill, Wolfensohn & Company, and other strategic investors, Verdeo was launched in 2007 by three former executives of a leading asset management group, each of whom oversaw a geographic region for the firm's $1 billion carbon fund. Our team brings a wealth of practical expertise, having developed numerous emission reduction projects in compliance and voluntary regimes in the US and abroad. With experience in a breadth of sectors, including mining, oil & gas, agri-business, municipal solid waste, heavy industry, forestry, and renewable energy, Verdeo's team originated a pipeline of over 40 million tons of tradable carbon credits with a market value greater than US $1 billion.
