Carbon Emissions Reductions



  1. Science-Based Approach to Carbon Credits
    The portfolio emphasizes the importance of using scientific standards and expert frameworks to evaluate carbon offset projects.

  2. 7-Step Due Diligence Process
    A structured methodology is used to assess carbon credit projects, ensuring they meet high-quality standards before inclusion in a portfolio.

  3. Aligned with Leading Climate Research Institutions
    The evaluation process draws from methodologies developed by respected organizations such as:

    • Stockholm Environment Institute
    • GHG Management Institute
  4. Use of Multiple Third-Party Rating Agencies
    Projects are assessed using ratings from top independent agencies including:

    • BeZero
    • Calyx Global
    • Renoster
    • Sylvera
      This multi-source approach helps reduce bias and improve accuracy.
  5. Four Pillars of Carbon Credit Quality
    Each project is reviewed based on key criteria that determine the integrity and effectiveness of carbon credits:

    • Additionality : Would the emissions reduction have happened without the project?
    • Over-crediting : Are too many credits being issued relative to actual impact?
    • Durability : How long will the carbon benefit last?
    • Double Counting : Is there risk of the same credit being used more than once?
  6. Ongoing Monitoring & Risk Protection
    Portfolios include mechanisms to monitor project performance over time and mitigate risks like project failure or underperformance.

  7. Transparency and Trust
    Emphasis is placed on clear, data-driven decision-making and combining internal analysis with external verification to build trust in the quality of offsets.
