Castrén & Snellman to buy the first certified Carbonaide Credits

As part of its sustainability work, Castrén & Snellman starts cooperation with Carbonaide, to help transform the construction industry and voluntary carbon markets. C&S will purchase the first certified carbon credits created through Carbonaide’s proven technology for CO₂ mineralization in concrete.

The challenge

Castrén & Snellman have been actively involved in sustainability work for a long time. With the help of low-carbon energy, C&S has cut the emissions from its operations and energy use close to zero. To complement its emission reduction efforts, the company was looking for third-party activities that help combat climate change.

The solution

C&S will purchase the first certified carbon credits created through Carbonaide’s proven technology for CO₂ mineralization in concrete. The cooperation with Carbonaide marks a new step in the firm’s involvement in the voluntary carbon market. By purchasing Carbonaide credits, the law firm can speed up the adoption of a crucial technology for a low-carbon future.

The mitigation of global warming calls for rapid emission reductions, but also for new technologies that can capture and store carbon permanently at scale. Carbon credits are a vital tool in financing the solutions that the planet acutely needs. By cooperating with Carbonaide, C&S can contribute to the development of the voluntary carbon markets. We are proud to partner with a research-based Finnish startup that has the potential to transform the built environment into a carbon sink.
