Integrity Standard
Defensible Climate Impact
We build the additionality case around project barriers, baseline conditions, investment need, regulatory context and evidence that the project activity depends on carbon revenue.
Durability And Risk Controls
We assess reversal risk, buffer requirements, long-term monitoring needs, land management controls and permanence measures required for buyer confidence.
Carbon Rights And Claims Discipline
We support clear credit ownership, transfer records, registry accounting, eligible credit definition and corresponding adjustment analysis where relevant.
Boundary And Activity Shift Risk
We identify leakage pathways, project boundary issues, displaced activity risk and monitoring controls that need to be addressed in the PDD and MRV plan.
Stakeholders And Local Impacts
We build stakeholder records, benefit-sharing logic, consultation pathways and safeguards tracking for projects exposed to landholder, community or biodiversity issues.
Due Diligence File
We prepare a diligence file that helps buyers, financiers and offtakers review MRV, registry pathway, rights, risks, safeguards and expected credit quality.
