The challenge

Expanding from a leading sustainability media platform into a Sustainability Data Hub required reliable and accurate data on carbon markets and buyer activity. To meet the needs of subscribers and clients seeking sustainability insights, illuminem integrated AlliedOffsets extensive database of over 16,000 carbon buyers and retirement records to supplement and enhance their existing dataset.

   By integrating AlliedOffsets’ data via an API, illuminem gained access to AlliedOffsets live data on carbon credit buyers and retirements. This data is updated weekly, ensuring their platform always provides the latest insights.

2. Building a Sustainability Insights Platform
   

   AlliedOffsets’ data is a core part of illuminem’s new sustainability offerings, enabling the creation of an insights-driven platform for their subscribers and clients.

3. Time-Savings & Efficiency
   

   The API integration eliminated the need for manual data research and management, and made their carbon data management process 10% more efficient. 

4. Enhanced Customer Value
   

   Thanks to AlliedOffsets comprehensive buyer and retirement data, illuminem has added significant value to their platform, providing their customers access to in-depth carbon market insights.
