Northern Trust, Absolute Climate offer capabilities to support credit issuance

Absolute Climate and Northern Trust (NTRS) are offering capabilities that support access to regulated credit issuance. This approach allows project developers to pair third-party certification with independent governance and access infrastructure for managing credits through their full lifecycle. “This is how carbon markets should work,” said Peter Minor, CEO of Absolute Climate. “Definitions of quality and governance standards should be developed independently from those issuing credits. By pairing our neutral, third-party certification framework with Northern Trust’s sophisticated market infrastructure, we’re building the kind of market architecture that allows buyers to trust credits and developers to operate with clarity.”
