About Verdaq

Infrastructure for environmental credit markets.

01 · Why Verdaq exists

Verdaq was founded to bring transparency, data and market infrastructure to environmental credit markets.

The market is growing rapidly, but information remains fragmented and difficult to access. Buyers struggle to find credits. Providers struggle to find buyers. Pricing, availability and delivery timelines are difficult to compare.

Verdaq aims to become the trusted platform connecting developers, consultants, providers and investors — across BNG, nutrient, water and future environmental credit markets.
