All of our projects are carefully selected, based on four-step Quality Framework.

• A track record in removing or reducing CO2 emissions;

• A positive impact on biodiversity;

• Social impact: creating jobs for local communities;

• Data transparency: our projects have a real, measurable and verifiable impact.

Each project is vetted against 100+ data points, including assessments by independent rating agencies like BeZero and Calyx. This ensures we only offer the top 10% of climate projects globally - delivering measurable climate impact and meaningful social co-benefits.

The terminology is shifting. Under new guidelines (like VCMI and EU Green Claims Directive), companies are advised to move away from claiming "Carbon Neutrality" based solely on offsetting. Instead, the focus is on "Contribution Claims" or "Beyond Value Chain Mitigation," where you fund climate action without necessarily using it to cancel out your own gross emissions.

Nearly. The terms are often used interchangeably. Carbon credits refer to the tradable units, while offsets describe the action of compensating emissions using those credits.

The operationalization of Article 6 creates a two-tier market in 2026: Authorized vs. Non-Authorized credits.

• Authorized Credits (ITMOs): These come with a "Letter of Authorization" from the host country and are adjusted in national accounts to prevent double-counting. These will command a significantly higher price as they can be used for international compliance (like CORSIA for airlines).

• Non-Authorized Credits: These can still be used for voluntary corporate "contribution claims" but may trade at a discount compared to ITMOs.

Prices vary drastically based on the project type. While older renewable energy credits can still be found for under €5, high-integrity nature-based solutions typically range between €15 and €30 per ton. Engineered removals like Biochar and DAC command premiums ranging from €100 to over €400 per ton due to their high durability and scarcity.

In 2026, "high quality" is no longer subjective; it is defined by adherence to the ICVCM’s Core Carbon Principles (CCPs). To be considered high-quality, a credit must demonstrate:

• Additionality: The project would not have happened without the carbon finance.

• Permanence: The CO2 is stored for decades or centuries (low reversal risk).

• Co-benefits: measurable positive impacts on local biodiversity and communities (SDGs).
