Value Change Labs 2021
Through programs, working groups, labs or pilots, Value Change members co-create best practice guidance and tools approved by Gold Standard to reduce and credibly report on Scope 3 emissions reductions.
We are a carbon impact verification organization developing digital verification solutions to bring credibility to climate action. In a context where uncertainty and concerns around greenwashing is high, our work ensures impact are real, realized and in line with global standards.
Verifiers are the credibility layer necessary to avoid greenwashing but are one of the few actors left untouched by the digital revolution. We are shooting for the moon when it comes to setting ambitious climate targets yet still rely on archaic tools to make sure we are delivering on them.
At SustainCERT, we are developing the world’s first software platform to enable digital verification of impact claims across carbon markets and value chains. We strive for both speed and quality because we believe creating a race to the top, where those who take action can be recognized and incentivized to aim higher, is the only way to truly meet our collective climate objectives.
Our work follows best practice as defined by the ISEAL Code of Good Practice and aligns with internationally recognized standards such as the Greenhouse Gas Protocol and Gold Standard for the Global Goals to ensure carbon projects or value chain interventions deliver on their promises and avoid greenwashing.
As an official certification body for Gold Standard we contributed to:
