Moss launches new product
Moss, responsible for the token MCO2, announced the launch of a new calculation system aimed at companies that want to put sustainable initiatives into practice. The objective is to facilitate the inventory of emissions generated by administrative activities and thus be able to neutralize carbon footprints.
We want any company in the service sector to be able to offset the emissions from its administrative activities and become a protagonist in the construction of a more sustainable and productive world for the next generations”, highlights Fernanda Castilho, COO of Moss.
Climatech bets on the new calculator to bring the carbon credit market closer to small and medium-sized companies, such as law firms, advertising and travel agencies, financial, environmental and technology services companies, who want to create or want to run an ESG agenda that contributes to reducing the negative effects of the climate crisis.
The calculator hits the market alongside other Moss innovations, such as the recently launched NFT of the Amazon, a project that tokenizes forested areas in the region with the aim of keeping them conserved and pristine. The project’s first 100 tokens were sold within hours and raised over R$1 million.
Recently, Moss also started a movement to decentralize and strengthen its community with the launch of a governance token and soon the startup should launch an initiative that aims to expand the capacity of land certification for projects to generate credit from carbon.
