About SustainCERT

We are transforming the verification industry to ensure that every climate claim is accurate and trustworthy, promoting credible climate action across carbon markets and value chains.

WHO WE ARE

Founded by the Gold Standard Foundation in 2018, we are an independent organization focused on increasing the credibility of climate action. Our expertise lies in climate impact verification, where we leverage advanced technology to offer scalable and accurate verification solutions for carbon markets and decarbonization projects within value chains.

Our verification services ensure that the highest standards are upheld, and real progress is made. Our innovative methods support and contribute to major international sustainability frameworks such as the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, the UN SDGs and the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi).

 

OUR VISION

A sustainable and climate-secure future.

 

OUR MISSION

To develop solutions that bring credibility to climate action.

WHAT WE DO

To limit global warming to 1.5°C, achieving net zero by 2050 is essential, requiring a 7% annual reduction in emissions. Our unique approach, driven by extensive climate expertise, delivers the speed, quality, and scalability to meet these ambitious targets thanks to the support of the SustainCERT platform.


Our Value Chain Impact Verification Solution enables companies in the Apparel, Food and Agriculture sectors to credibly report on their decarbonization efforts and co-claim the impact of their value chain interventions.


Through our carbon credits services, we conduct thorough and independent assessment and ensure the accuracy and high quality of carbon credits in line with Gold Standard and Verra requirements.
