Marmota is a pioneer in environmental asset creation, green project management, emissions mitigation, and sustainable financing. The company's primary focus is the implementation of large-scale, technology-based decarbonization projects that generate revenue directly from carbon markets.
Using a proven end-to-end process, Marmota helps organizations and governments at every level—municipal, provincial, and federal—to achieve their most ambitious climate goals through targeted initiatives that improve environmental impact, reduce risk, and generate high-quality, verifiable investment holdings: carbon credits, methane credits, plastics credits, and more. Our team brings extensive experience in the navigation of both compliance and voluntary carbon markets, offset program development, and large-scale offset project design.
Marmota goes beyond simply quantifying or reporting our customers' sustainability challenges. Our mission is to meet these challenges head-on, delivering project-based solutions and providing responsible stewardship throughout the full lifecycle of generated environmental assets—creation, certification, and conversion—all powered by the world's first ISO-compliant green blockchain platform, ensuring full transparency and auditability.
Founded and headquartered in Canada, Marmota was established with a belief in the nation's potential to lead and shape the global ESG and environmental financial markets. We provide a suite of programs and over 100 technology projects to choose from, many of which can be tailored to Canadian industries and governments, with the goal of promoting investment and capital decisions that will both reduce emissions and create tradable environmental assets.
