Bayer AG is continuing on its path towards net zero by acquiring carbon removal credits from climate tech startup Novocarbo. Callirius AG enabled the cooperation through its platform, based on high-quality standards.
As part of this broader movement, the Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi) has expanded its scope beyond climate change and introduced Science-Based Targets for Nature.
The startup brings capital directly into nature restoration and protection by connecting and matching directly nature-based projects with enterprises and investors
