Products / Project integrity & safeguards

Carbon & project development

Better projects for climate, people and nature.

We help project teams put high integrity into practice, connecting robust carbon evidence with community participation, environmental safeguards and integrated landscape planning.

Standards in context

The right requirements for each project.

Choose each framework for the purpose it serves, then connect its requirements to the project’s evidence and everyday decisions.

Carbon accounting

VCS & Gold Standard

Assess the appropriate programme and methodology for the land, activities and proposed carbon removals. Additional labels such as ABACUS require their own eligibility and evidence assessment.

Benefits beyond carbon

CCB & SD VISta

Consider complementary frameworks for demonstrating climate, community, biodiversity or sustainable-development benefits, with suitable baselines and monitoring.

Responsible forestry

FSC & operational evidence

Connect forest-management procedures and existing certification evidence to project planning. Identify the additional studies or safeguards the carbon project needs.

Rights & landscape values

FPIC & High Conservation Values

FPIC is a rights-based process. Community participation and HCV assessments help identify resource needs, cultural values and ecosystems that require protection.

Put the requirements into practice.

We connect specialist studies, safeguard actions and technical documentation, working with project teams and qualified local experts.

High integrity, across the landscape

Carbon. People. Biodiversity. Designed together.

We focus on developing and supporting high-integrity projects. That means robust carbon evidence, respect for community rights and environmental safeguards shaping the project from the outset.

Credible carbon

Test eligibility, baselines and estimates. Build traceable evidence and plan for independent review.

VCS · VM0047

People & rights

Assess social impacts, engage communities and support informed participation, consent and locally relevant benefits.

FPIC · SD VISta

Nature & responsible forestry

Consider habitat, water, native species and forestry practices when selecting the most appropriate project approach.

FSC · biodiversity safeguards

One integrated landscape approach

Bring productive forestry, restoration, conservation and community land use into a coherent plan. Carbon potential, social impact and biodiversity guide the design together.

From commitments to evidence

  1. Understand requirements
  2. Assess gaps
  3. Plan action & monitoring
  4. Prepare for assessment

Standards, rights and labels: how we help

Explore the role of each framework and the support we provide.

These frameworks serve different purposes and are assessed for relevance to each project. Our role is to help meet applicable requirements; certification, verification and label decisions remain with the relevant programme and independent assessors.

Scope & deliverables

Baseline studies that shape better decisions.

We connect specialist field studies with carbon project requirements, using existing ESIA and forestry-certification evidence where suitable and identifying where further work is needed.
