Some of the world’s largest tech corporations – from Google to Microsoft Corp and Amazon – are in talks with a new carbon offset trading platform in Singapore that would be among the first to be backed by a public stock exchange.

An Amazon.com Inc spokesperson said the firm supports the sustainability efforts of customers such as Singapore bank DBS Group Holdings Ltd, which is also backing Climate Impact X. Amazon has no plans to purchase offsets in the region at the moment. Microsoft and Google declined to comment.Singapore-based Grab said the company supports carbon offset programmes that reduce emissions and provide economic uplift to communities.

Climate experts have warned that validating cheap offsets that don’t actually remove carbon dioxide could give companies a way to claim they’re carbon free without undertaking costly work to reduce planet-warming emissions – resulting in greater pollution overall. Even respected environmental groups like the Nature Conservancy have come under fire for selling offsets that protect forests no longer in danger of being torn down.
