Vancouver, July 15, 2022--(T-Net)--Tracesafe Inc., (CSE: TSF), a leader in location-aware Internet of Things (IoT) platforms for large-scale industrial and enterprise operations, announced today the acquisition of Offsety, a carbon offset marketplace for individuals to reduce their carbon footprint by investing in high quality offset credits.
Offsety is a platform for individuals to evaluate and offset their carbon footprint using 'Carbon Reserve', fractionalized high-quality offsets that have gone through stringent verification mechanisms and third party audits.
TraceSafe has also brought on-board Offsety founder, Qayyum Rajan, who is expected to take on a full-time a leadership role at the company. Before launching Offsety, Qayyum was the founder and Chief Executive Officer at ESG Analytics, a startup that focuses on applying AI to the environmental, social and governance industry.

"We are thrilled to have Offsety and Qayyum join us at TraceSafe where we are solving the biggest challenge that companies are about to face globally; proof of climate action. Carbon removal is about to become a boardroom agenda for most companies and credibility of offsets will play a central role in the decision. This acquisition sets the pace for us as we move into the company's future of decarbonization solutions for individuals, companies and their customers," said Wayne Lloyd, TraceSafe CEO. "Qayyum comes with a successful history in ESG tech and deep expertise in carbon offset space and will be a key member of the team as we go into the exciting new direction."

"I am excited to join the incredible team at TraceSafe. Offsety's platform will be a seamless fit into the unique solutions that the company is building in carbon management. I am deeply passionate about the future of sustainable organizations and the role technology will play in making net-zero ambitions a reality," said Qayyum Rajan, Founder of Offsety and former CEO of ESG Analytics. "TraceSafe has a notable history of identifying problems in the enterprise and creating solutions customized for various industries. With Offsety and the new portfolio of decarbonization solutions, we have an opportunity to make a real difference in climate action and the path to net-zero."
Earlier this year, TraceSafe announced a strategic foray into decarbonization solutions and building solutions to measure, mitigate, offset and report carbon emissions. The acquisition of the personal offset marketplace is the company's first step towards a complete carbon management solution for individuals and businesses.
The company says it will be announcing the new carbon product platform, and industry specific solutions in carbon calculation, along with a brand refresh in the weeks to come.
