How it works

It finances high integrity carbon mitigation or removal only after reducing its own emissions and without concealing the original inventory.

It converts objectives into verifiable decisions through simulation, measurement, review, learning and clear responsibilities throughout the life cycle.

When does it make sense?

  • Before irreversible decisions and after putting the system into use
  • When there is a specific question the data can answer
