About Us:
veritree is an award-winning climate tech start-up based in Vancouver. Launched in 2021, our technology measures and verifies the impact of global restoration efforts from the ground-up.

Why
veritree?
To limit global warming to 1.5°C requires immediate, deep reductions across all sectors and holistic ecosystems restoration and conservation. It is estimated that a total investment in nature of up to US $8.1 trillion by 2050 is required if the world is to meet its climate change and nature targets. Mobilizing and accelerating private finance to restore and protect nature is now mission critical.
Yet, climate finance is at an inflection point. While the voluntary carbon market remains the most viable vehicle to fund climate actions at scale, the current market is plagued by widespread, fundamental flaws. The market has been under scrutiny for self-regulation, lack of transparency, over-crediting and lack of ongoing monitoring.
veritree is building the next generation digital platform to accelerate investment in nature-based carbon solutions. veritree’s digital measurement, reporting and verification (dMRV) technology enables the tracking of impacts throughout a project lifecycle to provide end-buyers with the confidence that their investment is making a real impact with positive outcomes. Our goal is to transform the way carbon emission reduction and removals as well as holistic impacts are measured, monitored, forecasted, and verified for nature-based carbon solutions.
