360° Impact Portfolio sources, curates, and retires high-quality carbon credits on behalf of organisations making Beyond Value Chain Mitigation contributions under ISO 14068-1 and the VCMI Claims Code. Every transaction delivers a disclosure pack structured to satisfy all seven of the frameworks your auditor, certification body, or investor will reference — in a single document, within 14 working days.
ISO 14068-1, the VCMI Claims Code, and the SBTi Corporate Net-Zero Standard all reach the same conclusion from different directions: reducing scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions is the foundation of a credible climate strategy, not the ceiling of it. For organisations pursuing carbon neutrality under ISO 14068-1, or a VCMI Gold or Platinum claim, the standard requires — and the market increasingly expects — a contribution to verified climate action beyond the value chain. Not instead of reductions. In addition to them.
ISO 14068-1 §11.1 sets out the hierarchy explicitly: reduce emissions first, implement GHG removals within your boundary, then offset unabated residual emissions using carbon credits that meet the criteria in §11.2 and §11.3. The reasons for not reducing further must be “justified and documented.” Credits are the last step of a documented process, not a substitute for it.
The VCMI frames the same principle as a pre-requisite: before any public contribution claim may be made, the organisation must have a validated near-term science-based target, must be disclosing scope 1, 2, and 3 annually, and must be making demonstrable progress toward its reduction commitment. The contribution claim is additive to a reduction strategy. It is not an alternative to one.
The practical question is not whether to make a BVCM contribution. It is which credits to source, which frameworks to structure the claim against, and what evidence to retain. That is what 360° Impact Portfolio provides.
A workflow designed around the documentation your assurance provider will ask for — not around what is easiest to produce.
We establish your tonnage requirement, VCMI tier ambition, reporting timeline, and which portfolio configuration fits. VCMI pre-requisite status is confirmed. No commitment required. Self-serve calendar booking — no wait for a response.
Following the call, a scoping note sets out the proposed contribution structure, portfolio configuration, indicative claim language, and documentation the client will receive. Legal and procurement teams have everything they need before any transaction takes place.
Credits retired on the Gold Standard Impact Registry or Verra Registry in your legal entity name. For Sovereign Portfolio transactions, corresponding adjustment documentation is confirmed at point of sourcing. Serial-numbered evidence within 14 working days.
Seven sections. Twenty-four evidence items. All seven frameworks addressed. Registry links live and publicly verifiable. VCMI contribution claim and ISO 14068-1 §11.4 claim drafted for legal review. Framework compliance summary maps every requirement to the pack element that satisfies it.
Every project in the 360° Impact Portfolio is sourced from Gold Standard or Verra-registered programmes holding ICVCM CCP-Approved status. The portfolio spans renewable energy, clean cooking, water access, and nature-based solutions — selected for both verified climate impact and measurable contribution to the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
Jharkhand & Bihar, India
Off-grid 80–200 Wp photovoltaic kits replacing kerosene lighting and diesel back-up across 142 villages. TPDDTEC v3.1 methodology. Validated and verified by SGS SA.
Western Province, Zambia
Efficient biomass cookstoves replacing open-fire cooking across rural households. AMS-II.G methodology. Reduces indoor air pollution, deforestation pressure, and cooking fuel cost. Verified by Bureau Veritas.
Sundarbans delta, Bangladesh
Community-led replanting of 1,840 hectares of degraded coastal mangrove under Verra VM0033 methodology. 30-year permanence buffer. Biodiversity co-benefit reporting to CCBA Gold standard.
Every project in the 360° Impact Portfolio passes four independent conditions before a single credit is offered to a client. These are not quality aspirations. They are the threshold requirements of the frameworks your assurance provider will reference.
CCP-Approved programme
Credits sourced exclusively from Gold Standard and Verra — both CCP-Approved. The ICVCM’s programme-level assessment covers all ten Core Carbon Principles including additionality, permanence, quantification, verification, and no double counting.
Ex-post, vintage-compliant
All credits are ex-post: the emission reduction occurred and was independently verified before the credit was issued. Vintage is confirmed against ISO 14068-1 §11.2 (five-year rolling limit) and SBTi CNZ v2.0 §1.5 (2021 floor) simultaneously.
VCMI due diligence standard
Credits sourced with reference to the VCMI Claims Code due diligence requirement: no Kyoto-mechanism credits, no credits representing reductions within the client’s own value chain, and no use of credits to substitute for committed scope 1, 2, 3 reductions.
Retirement in your legal entity name
Credits permanently retired on the Gold Standard Impact Registry or Verra Registry in the client’s legal entity name. Serial numbers and direct registry link provided within 14 working days. Independently verifiable by any third party.
The same sourcing rigour and the same disclosure pack structure apply across all three products. The configurations differ in project scope, SDG narrative breadth, and double-counting protection level. The right fit is established at the discovery call.
Multi-project portfolio spanning renewable energy, nature-based solutions, clean cooking, and water access. Selected for both climate integrity and SDG co-benefit breadth. The recommended choice for organisations whose contribution will be disclosed in a sustainability report, investor communication, or external assurance engagement.
Verified renewable energy credits only. Climatically equivalent — a verified tonne is a verified tonne regardless of project type. Same ICVCM integrity standards. Same VCMI claim tier availability. Same ISO 14068-1 disclosure pack. For organisations where the SDG contribution narrative is a secondary consideration.
CA-backed credits with host country corresponding adjustments confirmed. Each credit carries sovereign authorisation. CORSIA Phase 1 eligible from 2024. For aviation-sector clients, organisations with CORSIA compliance obligations, or buyers seeking the highest available double-counting protection.
“What we needed was a contribution programme our auditor would not flag, our board would understand, and our communications team could defend in a press call. The 360° disclosure pack landed in three readable pages, with every registry link live and every framework reference in place. Our assurance provider confirmed it on first review.”
The 360° Impact Portfolio framework library provides detailed, procurement-ready documentation of every standard governing voluntary carbon credit quality, claim language, disclosure, and compliance. Each page is written for the sustainability manager, procurement team, and legal adviser who needs to understand the standard before they rely on it.
Ten threshold requirements. Programme-level assessment. The primary quality filter for every credit in the portfolio.
Three tiers. Three pre-requisites. Governs what an organisation may say publicly about its contribution.
Five mandatory disclosure items. §11.4 is the checklist. The standard your certification body will audit against.
Seven criteria. Eight SECR disclosure items. The 2019 domestic regulatory floor — necessary but not sufficient in 2025.
A 30-minute discovery call establishes your tonnage requirement, VCMI tier ambition, and reporting timeline. No commitment required. The scoping note that follows gives your legal and procurement teams everything they need before any transaction takes place.
