Forestry carbon account support
CarbonTrader includes forestry-focused workflows for landowners, advisers and operators who need structured sale and settlement support for NZUs.
Mandates and sale programmes
Forestry users can manage mandate records and staged sale programmes in the account area. This helps keep sale activity organised across different properties, timeframes or adviser-led instructions.
Managed settlement support
Managed service orders and settlement packs help convert carbon sale activity into clearer operational steps. These records are useful when multiple parties need to understand what is being sold, settled and documented.
Custody statements
Custody statement workflows help provide visibility over NZU positions and movements where wallet or managed arrangements are used. These features are designed to support clearer client communication and record keeping.
Built for professional workflows
The forestry tools are not a replacement for legal, tax, forestry or ETS advice. They are practical platform workflows that help organise trading and settlement information.
Where this fits in the wider ETS environment
CarbonTrader is designed to support marketplace and settlement workflows, while the official ETS system remains the record infrastructure for unit holdings and transfers. Participants can read more about ETS accounts through the New Zealand Emissions Trading Register and should make sure their own account details are accurate before requesting delivery outside the CarbonTrader wallet.
Using this part of CarbonTrader responsibly
This page is part of a wider trading and settlement platform, so it should be read with the broader account journey in mind. Public information helps users understand what the platform offers, but important actions such as bidding, responding to buy requests, creating organisation records, changing settlement instructions or using reporting tools require authenticated access and the right permissions.
Before taking action, users should check that their profile is complete, their ETS and bank details are accurate, and any organisation authority has been confirmed internally. Carbon trading can involve operational, accounting, tax and compliance considerations, so clear records matter. CarbonTrader is designed to support those records through account history, notifications, wallet activity, settlement events and reporting tools.
The platform does not provide financial, legal, tax or investment advice. Users should make their own commercial decisions and seek professional advice where appropriate. For official information about the New Zealand emissions trading environment, refer to the New Zealand Emissions Trading Scheme and the New Zealand Emissions Trading Register.
For active users, the account area is the best place to keep work organised. It groups verification, profile details, wallet settings, organisations, forestry workflows, RFQs, market data, enterprise reporting, government auction invitations and notifications into clear tabs so users do not need to scroll through every tool at once.
What to do next
New users should start with verification, then complete the trading profile in the account area. Existing users should sign in before taking action so the platform can apply the correct account status, organisation role, wallet preference, settlement instruction and notification settings.
For businesses, it is sensible to decide who is authorised to create opportunities, approve settlement instructions, review reports and respond to notices before active trading begins. That preparation reduces delays when an auction, buy request, RFQ or settlement record needs attention.
