Meta Registry™

Connecting the global environmental markets

The Meta Registry™ is critical market infrastructure that connects disparate environmental registries around the world with carbon markets and participants to support a well-functioning carbon market.

Seamless, secure connectivity

Using institutional-grade security and automated technology, the Meta Registry™ integrates and reconciles the structure and data of the diverse standards and programs operating across the environmental space. This allows interoperability between different systems, enabling users to manage, track and report on their assets across multiple registries through a single interface.

Market integrity

The Meta Registry™ performs proprietary checks on the data, the results of which can be investigated to reduce the risk of double-counting and double-claiming and support market integrity.



Who does the Meta Registry™ benefit?
Meta Registry™ supports all types of carbon market participants including governments, project developers, buyers, investors, liquidity and data providers.
An integrated dashboard allows users to view and manage their portfolios across global registries and access unique identifiers to support efficient trading and settlement.
