BeZero Carbon Has Acquired Cedar to Expand Its Ratings Platform
Adam Harrie — June 27, 2026
BeZero Carbon acquired Cedar, integrating the startup's automated sustainability workflow technology into the BeZero Carbon Markets ratings platform to strengthen carbon market due diligence for subscribers. Cedar's tools transform fragmented sustainability data into structured, auditable insights, complementing BeZero's existing suite of self-service analytics, including an AI assistant, pre-rating scorecards and geospatial tools.
The acquisition expands BeZero's platform capabilities, while its core ratings business, built on expert-led analysis of carbon projects across all stages and markets, remains unchanged. The deal comes as BeZero expects to fall under the EU's ESG regulatory framework later this year, reflecting growing demand for credible, independently verified carbon project assessments.
The acquisition shows how carbon ratings providers are investing in advanced data and workflow tools to help investors evaluate projects with greater confidence as voluntary carbon markets continue to mature.
