How Hedera Hashgraph will benefit WinCL
WinCL is an end-to-end carbon management service for corporations that contains a carbon market and carbon emission tracking. The company focuses on environmental actions and strategies to help businesses reduce their emissions.Â
In partnership with Hedera, WinCL’s platform, built on Hedera Guardian, will be able to offer transparent emissions tracking, detailed reports and greater carbon offsetting abilities.Â
From the announcement, Hedera aims to expand South Korea’s carbon market with accessible, verified carbon offset transitions and regulatory compliance measures. With Hedera, WinCL will be able to easily meet international regulatory measures in the carbon market, widening its reach.
This partnership between the HBAR Foundation and WinCL aims to expand Korea’s voluntary carbon market by creating an accessible, verified path for carbon offset transactions from Hedera-based markets.Â
As Korea strengthens its climate policy through measures like the 2021 Carbon Neutrality Act and expanded emissions trading, WinCL’s Hedera-powered platform enables companies to meet both voluntary and regulatory reporting standards.
