Northern Trust has been selected by Bayer to act as one of its providers for the digital lifecycle management of the Bayer Carbon Program, the company’s voluntary carbon credits program. A part of Bayer’s carbon credits inventory has been recorded on The Northern Trust Carbon Ecosystem, a digital platform for the end-to-end lifecycle management of digital carbon credits. This has enabled Bayer to directly link the U.S. state of origin as well as the vintage year to the digital verified carbon credits. Northern Trust records the carbon credits and acts on instructions from Bayer to transfer and settle digital carbon credit transactions and provide designated custodial services. To date, Bayer has completed several transactions of carbon removal credits, which its customers retired to offset their emissions.
