Trust and integrity are crucial for companies to monetize their planet repair and protect initiatives, and therefore crucial for credits to be adopted at the scale necessary towards achieving net-zero, Consequently, policy and ethics are major focus areas for Changeblock that require integration into the credit value chain. The appointment of Baroness Evans will significantly strengthen the Company’s efforts in this regard, and augments the work already being done with multiple standard and verification agencies.
Baroness Evans commented, “Reducing society’s environmental footprint is one of the most pressing challenges we as humanity are facing today, and tradeable offsets, such as credits, hold great promise towards delivering this. Their effectiveness will be impacted by how the companies in this eco-system engage with policy and policy makers.
“Ethics play an increasingly important role in credit integrity assessments and in investment decision making. Changeblock’s forward, strategic thinking, combined with their unique offering that meets such a critical need, make this an exciting opportunity. I look forward to working with Billy and the team and help Changeblock cement its leadership position as a critical net-zero infrastructure partner.”
Billy Richards, Changeblock CEO, stated, “We believe Baroness Evans is exceptionally well positioned to provide Changeblock with actionable insights, and help us strengthen our position as a critical infrastructure partner for credit generators, off-setters, investors and policy makers. I believe this appointment reflects the importance, integrity and quality of our offering, as well as the depth and strength of our network, and I am excited to be working on these important initiatives with Natalie as we expand our operations and help smooth the path to net-zero.”
