Who we are

EcoSecurities is a leading company in the business of sourcing, developing and trading emission reduction credits.
 
EcoSecurities structures and guides greenhouse gas emission reduction projects from beginning to end, working with both project developers and buyers of emission reduction credits. EcoSecurities works with companies in developing and industrialising countries to create emission reduction credits from projects that reduce emissions of greenhouse gases. EcoSecurities has experience with projects in a wide range of sectors, including renewable energy, agriculture and urban waste management, industrial efficiency,
and forestry.
 
With a network of offices and representatives in more than 20 countries on five continents, EcoSecurities has amassed one of the industry’s largest and most diversified portfolios of emission reduction projects in the world. EcoSecurities also works with companies in the developed world to assist them in either meeting their greenhouse gas emission compliance targets or fulfilling their voluntary emission reduction objectives. Utilising its highly diversified emission reduction portfolio, EcoSecurities is able to structure emission reduction transactions to fit any buyer’s needs, and has executed transactions with both private and public sector buyers in Europe, North America and Japan.
 
EcoSecurities has been involved in the development of many of the global carbon market’s most important milestones, including developing the world’s first CDM project to be registered under the Kyoto Protocol and the first to receive issued credits.  In 2009, EcoSecurities was voted ‘Best CDM/JI Project Developer – Kyoto Project Credits’ and 'Best Project Developer - North American Mandatory Markets' by readers of Environmental Finance and Carbon Finance magazines. New Energy Finance also named EcoSecurities as ‘Top Carbon Off-taker by Number of Deals’ in their 2007 and 2008 Carbon Markets League Tables.
 
On 30th October 2009, the share offer by the Carbon Acquisition Company Limited (a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of J.P. Morgan) to acquire EcoSecurities Group Plc became wholly unconditional. The Carbon Acquisition Company completed the acquisition during December and EcoSecurities was delisted from the Alternative Investment Market of the London Stock Exchange on the 14th December 2009.
