BeZero Carbon

BeZero Carbon is a carbon ratings agency founded in April 2020 by Tommy Ricketts and Sebastien Cross, headquartered in London, United Kingdom. It addresses the lack of independent, standardized quality assessment in the voluntary carbon market, where corporate buyers and investors need to judge whether a carbon credit delivers the emissions reduction it claims.

The company issues letter-grade ratings for carbon credit projects, combining geospatial analysis, climate science and financial modelling carried out by its analyst teams. Its platform lets buyers screen project portfolios and access research, with corporate customers including Microsoft using its ratings for carbon credit due diligence.
