About Veridium
Veridium is a collaborative initiative to create a regenerative economy that sustains our planet’s natural resources and reduces carbon emissions.
Our technology will turn industry-standard carbon offsets into freely tradeable tokenized assets–solving some of the biggest problems in the carbon credit market. In 2007, we founded InfiniteEARTH, a carbon credit producer and environmental protection and restoration corporation. Today, we work with many well-known customers like Microsoft, SAP, and Intuit. This uniquely positions us and our partners to automate the corporate carbon credit accounting and offsetting process across global supply chains, providing much needed transparency and fungibility to the carbon credit market. Through our partnerships with Stellar and IBM we are reducing the world’s carbon footprint – a huge step towards a truly sustainable economic model.
