About Patch

A livable future depends on climate solutions — and those solutions need funding to scale. There is a financial mechanism powerful enough to help drive climate solutions to gigatonne-scale and beyond: carbon credits.

Patch combines technology and carbon markets expertise to help companies build and execute their carbon credit strategies. Our platform supports buyers with defining or refining their approach to the voluntary carbon market, and executing on their goals with high-integrity projects. We have helped hundreds of companies meet their sustainability goals while accelerating climate solutions.
