Developing a High-Integrity Carbon Credit Project
End-to-end development of a reforestation project designed for integrity from day one, generating verified credits and real community benefit.
- Verra Standard targeted for certification
- 100% Additionality & permanence safeguards
- Local Community co-benefits built in
A project developer had the land and the ambition to create a reforestation carbon project, but needed it to stand up to the scrutiny that high-quality credits now face.
The challenge
The voluntary market has a reputation problem, and buyers increasingly demand proof of integrity. A project that could not demonstrate additionality, permanence, and genuine co-benefits would struggle to find credible buyers.
What we did
We led the project end to end, designing for integrity from the very first decision.
- Ran feasibility and design, then developed the project documentation.
- Built in robust monitoring, reporting and verification (MRV) and safeguards against reversal.
- Ensured local communities were genuine partners, with co-benefits designed in rather than added on.
The result
The project is on a clear path to certification under a leading standard, with additionality and permanence safeguards in place and community co-benefits at its core. The credits it generates are built to withstand real scrutiny.
They held our project to a higher standard than we expected, and it is far stronger for it.
