The right portfolio depends on what you need to say and the wider sustainable-development impact you want to fund. Both are agreed at the outset and become part of the specification.
Requirement 01 Integrity
The claim
Your intended claim determines which credits are eligible. Every carbon-carrying credit must qualify for that role individually.
Climate contribution / BVCM
Ongoing emissions responsibility
ISO 14068-1 carbon neutrality
Net-zero residual counterbalancing at achieved net zero
Separating them prevents attractive co-benefits from disguising a weak carbon credit — and lets stronger impact be built deliberately across the portfolio.
Integrity credit level
Does the carbon stand up?
Integrity concerns the credibility of the mitigation and whether the credit is suitable for the claim: additionality, quantification, verification, permanence and protection against double counting.
Managed as a floor. Every carbon-carrying credit must pass; integrity is never averaged.
Impact portfolio level
What else does it achieve?
Impact concerns evidenced benefits beyond carbon across the 17 SDGs — from livelihoods and health to ecosystems, infrastructure and institutions.
Managed as a scale. Qualifying projects are curated to deliver the contracted, tonne-weighted Impact Band.
Integrity screening/Credit level
Every carbon-carrying credit must clear the screen.
We apply a fixed, published screen to every project individually. A credit either qualifies for your intended claim or it is not offered.

Exclusion gates
Fundamental defects — including failures of additionality, title, safeguards, independent verification or protection against reversal — end the assessment. Strength elsewhere cannot compensate.
20
Evidence criteria
Every surviving project is examined across quantification, additionality, uniqueness, governance, permanence and safeguards. Each verdict is tied to evidence that can be cited.
Pass
One non-negotiable rule
No gate, no failed criterion, no gap on a Tier 1 criterion and sufficient evidence completeness. There is no partial or conditional pass.
A credit either qualifies for the claim you contracted, or it is not offered. There is no weaker version at a lower price.
All seventeen goals, grouped into six domains of sixty points each. A project scores on the breadth of the outcomes it supports and on how strongly each one is evidenced.

Ecosystems
Responsible consumption, oceans and land.
Equity and capability

Health
Health, water and climate adaptation.
Energy and infrastructure
Clean energy, industry and settlements.
Rights and governance
Inequality, institutions and local partnership.
The wheel above is an illustrative project assessment, not a delivered portfolio. Each sector’s radius is that domain’s score out of sixty.
One Impact Band per claim-category portfolio
Each project carries its own score. The portfolio score is the average of those scores, weighted by the claimed tonnes allocated to each. Where an engagement supports more than one claim category, each is calculated and reported separately.
A higher score means broader outcomes with stronger evidence behind them. It does not make a lower-scoring credit less real: every carbon-carrying credit has already cleared the integrity floor.
A floor before a scale
Where the claim framework requires it, every activity must evidence at least one positive sustainable-development benefit. Averaging across the portfolio cannot cure a failure at activity level.
Claims/EligibilityISO 14068-1
The four claims we build for
Claim eligibility is a threshold, not an average. Every carbon-carrying credit must support the contracted claim category on its own.
1 · Climate contribution
A voluntary contribution to verified mitigation beyond your value chain, disclosed separately from your greenhouse-gas inventory. It remains available to an organisation that has not yet built a reduction pathway, and does not by itself support a neutrality claim.
2 · Ongoing emissions responsibility
Responsibility taken for ongoing emissions alongside a science-based target, never instead of reducing them. The credits finance climate action but do not count as progress toward the target.
3 · ISO 14068-1 carbon neutrality
A defined subject’s unabated emissions for a stated period, addressed through contribution credits while science-based reduction continues. ISO/DIS 14060 recognises this as a route for directing near-term finance without jeopardising net-zero objectives.
A removal-only portfolio counterbalancing residual emissions at achieved net zero, with durability matched to the claim route. It supports the removal component only, and does not establish that the organisation has reached net zero.
Where one engagement carries more than one claim, the tonnes, the ratio between them and a separate Impact Band are reported for each claim category.
Contributions beyond the value chain complement reductions within it. They never replace them.
How we curate/Four steps
How your portfolio gets built
Nothing is sourced before the specification is agreed. From there the work runs in four steps.
Step 01
Set the requirements
We agree the claim category the credits must support and the Portfolio 360° Impact Band the finished portfolio must reach. Both become part of the specification.
Step 02
Screen for quality
Every candidate project passes ten exclusion gates and twenty integrity and claim-eligibility criteria, including additionality, independent verification and protection against double counting.
Step 03
Curate for impact, cost and risk
We combine qualifying projects, technologies, geographies and vintages so the mix reaches your band at the lowest available cost, without resting on any single approach.
Step 04
Retire and evidence
Credits are retired in your organisation’s name. Assessments, calculations, transaction records and retirement evidence arrive as one pack, mapped to ISO 14068-1, ISO/DIS 14060 and the SBTi Corporate Net-Zero Standard v2.0.
You receive a portfolio built to your requirements and the complete record of the decision — not a certificate and a folder of links.
What you receive
The credits — and the case for choosing them.
A complete, assurance-ready record lets a competent third party follow the decision without reconstructing the work from a certificate and a folder of links.

Onboarding/Existing holdings
Already hold carbon credits?
We screen what you hold against your next claim and target band, then tell you what stays, what does not, and what to add. The diagnostic becomes the gap analysis for your first 360° Impact Portfolio.
Which holdings remain eligible for the intended claim, and which do not.
The current evidenced 360° Impact position, and the evidence gaps limiting it.
The additions or replacements needed to reach the target band.
The profile of what you hold across project, methodology, vintage, geography and prior claims.
Duplication is a construction risk, not an integrity failure
Qualifying unretired holdings can be brought in, and we source around them to avoid unnecessary repetition. Double counting is separate and absolute: a credit already retired, cancelled or used for a prior claim is never reused.
Transparent by design
A method you can inspect.
The evidence pack supports independent review; it does not pretend to be independent assurance. Your assurance provider retains that role.
Published methodThe rules are visible before you buy.
No project-paid ratingsDevelopers do not pay us to assess projects.
No owned inventoryNo stock position influences selection.
Principal, not agentWe are your commercial counterparty.
Specification-ledDelivery is documented against what was agreed.
No. Every carbon-carrying credit must qualify for the contracted claim category individually. Price is optimised only within the pool that qualifies.
Can a high-impact project compensate for a weak carbon credit?
No. Wider impact can be curated across the portfolio, but carbon integrity cannot be averaged. An ineligible credit cannot be carried by stronger projects elsewhere.
Is the evidence pack independent assurance?
No. It is an assurance-ready record of the assessment and procurement decision, structured to support independent review. The assurance conclusion remains with the independent provider.
Do you hold carbon credits in stock?
No. We source against your specification and have no inventory to clear.
Is there a multi-year commitment?
No. Each engagement stands alone. If you return in a subsequent year, we reassess your requirements, the available evidence and the market rather than repeating the previous purchase.
What if my specification cannot be sourced?
We do not lower the quality to complete the order. We explain the market position and the options: revising the price, taking a partial volume that still meets the specification, extending the sourcing period, or cancelling with the relevant funds returned.
