SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.–()–Zoned Properties®, Inc. (OTCQB: ZDPY), a strategic real estate development firm whose primary mission is to provide real estate and sustainability services for the regulated cannabis industry, positioning the company for property acquisitions and revenue growth, today announced its validation by the United Nations Climate Neutral Now Initiative and One Carbon World as the first organization focused on the regulated cannabis industry to achieve carbon neutrality.

Zoned Properties and One Carbon World

Zoned Properties has partnered with One Carbon World in committing to carbon neutrality and has been recognized by the United Nations Climate Neutral Now Initiative and organizational pledge. Zoned Properties has joined companies including Microsoft, Sony, and SAP; committing to measure and report their greenhouse gas emissions, reduce their greenhouse gas emissions, and offset remaining emissions with UN Certified Emission Reductions (CERs).

The Company’s CERs have been provided by the One Carbon World Grant Fund, and as a result, Zoned Properties has been awarded the One Carbon World Carbon Neutral Gold Standard. Zoned Properties becomes the world’s first real estate development firm to achieve the Carbon Neutral Gold Standard Status and the world’s first organization focused on the regulated cannabis industry to participate in the United Nations Climate Neutral Now Initiative.

Dr. John Kester, Director of Sustainability Services for Zoned Properties, commented, “With our firm commitment to sustainability as a company, this was an important step for us to take to achieve a leadership position in the real estate and regulated cannabis industries.”

Andrew Bowen, Chief Executive Officer of One Carbon World, said: “It is with great pleasure to support Zoned Properties and to see how strongly committed they are to sustainability. The regulated cannabis sector is growing significantly, and this is a strong inspirational message on how we can start with the right approach. Every emission Zoned Properties has offset directly supports UN and verified voluntary reforestation projects around the world.“

Zoned Properties will continue to participate in the program and follow guidance from One Carbon World to pursue further reductions in its operational footprint focusing on energy, water, waste, and travel.

“We believe that 2020 will be a transformative year for both the regulated cannabis industry and the sustainable development industry. Earlier this year, Blackrock Chairman & CEO, Larry Fink, issued his 2020 Letter to CEO’s outlining a clear and urgent investment focus on sustainable development and corporate social responsibility. Our team at Zoned Properties is working hard to build a foundational paradigm for sustainable development and corporate social responsibility in the regulated cannabis industry, and we intend to play a leading role by supporting our peers in joining this movement,” added Bryan McLaren, Chief Executive Officer of Zoned Properties.
