Your projects:
Net zero,
Defensibly.
Earthly gives developers, contractors and asset managers high-integrity, independently assessed nature-based carbon credits to back net-zero building claims; alongside the documentation your certifiers, investors and sustainability reports require.

The challenge:
Embodied carbon in the built environment
Operational carbon gets the headlines but can be easier to control. Embodied carbon - the emissions locked into materials, construction and demolition - typically accounts for 50–80% of a building's whole-life footprint. As net-zero-building certifications, investor requirements and CSRD disclosures tighten, the question is no longer whether to address embodied carbon, but how to do it credibly. Nature-based offsetting is the only scalable mechanism for residual emissions that can't yet be eliminated - but the quality of the credits behind those claims varies enormously.
Did you know?
Earthly can also support with off-site BNG units and voluntary biodiversity credits. We've analysed over 1000 nature projects and only the best pass our assessment.
Net zero building claims that won't survive scrutiny
Certifications like BREEAM Outstanding, LETI and RIBA 2030 require evidenced, high-integrity offsets for residual embodied carbon. Low-quality credits expose you to greenwashing risk and certification rejection.
Investor and lender pressure on asset-level carbon data
Green finance frameworks and ESG-linked lending increasingly require asset-level nature and carbon evidence. Vague portfolio-level commitments no longer satisfy due diligence.
CSRD and TNFD disclosure without the underlying data
Reporting obligations are hardening. Your sustainability report needs verifiable, audit-ready carbon data - not marketing-led claims from projects you can't independently evidence.

How it works
Due-diligence, done.
Every project on the Earthly marketplace is independently assessed against our Keystone 3.0 framework - covering carbon, biodiversity and people. For built environment clients, that means the carbon credit behind your net zero building claim has been rigorously verified before you buy it.
Comprehensive project assessments
We assess 168 data points per project, pulling from BeZero, Google Earth Engine and independent ecological surveys - so your ecologists and legal team have the evidence they need.
Transparent scoring methodology
Keystone 3.0 is the only holistic framework that assesses carbon, biodiversity and people together. Every project gets a board-ready, LPA-defensible score - no black boxes.
Your investments de-risked
Each credit purchase is logged against specific buildings or projects on an Impact Dashboard - giving you asset-level carbon evidence you can share with certifiers, lenders, investors and sustainability reports.

Case study: Kingsbridge Estates
Delivering net zero embodied carbon at Ferne Park
)
Tom Newman
Development Manager
Kingsbridge Estates
"By working with Earthly, we were able to measure, reduce, and balance embodied carbon to the highest UKGBC standard, giving us and our stakeholders confidence that our climate actions are transparent, credible, and impactful."
UK, developer Kingsbridge set out to create one of the most sustainable industrial developments in the country - targeting net zero embodied carbon alongside BREEAM ‘Outstanding’ and EPC A+ ratings. But, like most construction projects, not all emissions could be eliminated.
To address this, Kingsbridge partnered with Earthly to measure, reduce, and balance the project’s embodied carbon footprint through high-integrity nature-based solutions.
Through Earthly, Kingsbridge's Ferne Park has balanced 4,401 tCO₂e of embodied carbon through verified nature-based projects, achieving net zero embodied carbon status alongside BREEAM Outstanding, EPC A+, and 25% biodiversity net gain - exceeding the statutory BNG requirement by 15 percentage points.
Even with ambitious design and material choices, residual emissions remained. By identifying and addressing these through credible nature-based solutions, Ferne Park demonstrates how net zero buildings can be achieved.
Through Earthly, Kingsbridge is supporting the following projects:
)
Regenerative Farming - Indo-Gangetic Plains, India
Through this initiative, Kingsbridge is helping restore farmland across 41,000 hectares, avoiding crop-residue burning, improving water efficiency by 22%, and boosting incomes for thousands of smallholder farmers.

Peatland Protection - Rimba Raya, Indonesian Borneo
Through this project, Kingsbridge is protecting over 47,000 hectares of tropical peatland forest, avoiding more than 100 million tonnes of CO₂ emissions, and supporting local communities with clean energy and healthcare.
