Revolutionizing Carbon Finance with LACONIC

Introducing SADARâ„¢ - The Future of Natural Capital Monetization

Laconic, a pioneering force in the realm of carbon finance, proudly presents SADARâ„¢, the first and only Natural Capital Monetization (NCM) Platform of its kind. This groundbreaking platform is engineered to significantly accelerate activity in global carbon markets by providing auditable reference data for every nature-based carbon instrument worldwide in real-time. As the digital backbone of the global carbon market, Laconic doesn’t buy, sell, or produce carbon credits; instead, we act as the bridge connecting buyers and sellers with the data needed to trade carbon efficiently and securely.

Our platform offers unmatched insights by blending fragmented data streams including satellite data, ground surveys, carbon project documentation, advanced remote sensing, carbon stock assessments, land-use/ land-right data, and real-time pricing, ensuring transparency and preventing fraud. Powered by innovative predictive AI, SADARâ„¢ delivers a complete, easily navigable dataset essential for the institutional-scale monetization of nature-based carbon instruments, covering an impressive 90% of global carbon stocks.

I think at Temus, we are very, very excited to be able to work with Andrew and his team on such a large-scale and globally impactful project. I think what Laconic is seeking to achieve is very bold and “change-worthy” in terms of the impact that it has on the Singapore environment.

We bring alongside our capabilities across strategy, transformation, technology, data and AI and human-centric design to be able to put forward a solution that would be relevant to all stakeholders that are involved within the very complex environment of ESG.
