Fusing technology with deep climate expertise

At SustainCERT we combine long-established climate expertise with innovative, cutting-edge digital solutions to bring a new and unique offering for impact verification. One that brings speed, quality and scalability.

We are the credibility layer - enabling those who take action to confirm that what they do to achieve climate impact is trustworthy.

Carbon Market Certification, Validation AND Verification

Gold Standard Certification & Verification

As an official certification body for Gold Standard, we provide the assurance carbon projects are designed for maximum positive impact and achieve what they intended.

Digital Verification

Our platform transforms the verification process from one that is manual to one that is digital, increasing the speed, accuracy and frequency at which carbon credits can be verified and issued.

Scope 3 Claims Verification AND Management

Value Chain Impact Verification

We provide companies with clear feedback on the credibility of their GHG outcomes and how to use the result of their intervention in the context of their Scope 3 reporting.

Impact Tracking & Transfer

A pioneering solution enabling value chain decarbonization impact to be tracked and transferred across value chain players, and used to accurately demonstrate progress towards climate targets.

Value Change Initiative

We co-founded the Value Change Initiative as a multi-stakeholder forum bringing practitioners to collectively propose and test practical Scope 3 solutions and make net zero value chains possible.

Game-changing digitalization

The future of climate impact verification is now! By bringing cutting-edge digital technology to the verification industry for the first time, and combining it with our long-established climate expertise, we are providing the speed and accuracy needed to make credible climate action the new normal.

      Verified impacts can be allocated to multiple players up and down a value chain and tracked to safeguard against double counting.

    • Reporting

      Verified impacts can be used by value chain players in their Scope 3 reporting to demonstrate progress towards their targets.

Through our collaboration with SustainCERT, we have successfully developed new solutions that rigorously and feasibly account for Scope 3 agricultural emissions, and continue to work together to test new ideas and approaches. Moreover, we have made it a priority to disseminate these solutions widely, enabling progress across the entire industry.

Steven Rosenzweig, PhD., Agriculture Science Lead , General Mills

Accurately accounting for Scope 3 agricultural emissions in our greenhouse gas inventory poses a complex challenge. We deeply value SustainCERT’s extensive network within the wide world of climate accounting, as it enables us to remain at the forefront of innovation and thought leadership in this space.

Faith Perry, Associate Manager, Climate , General Mills

ESMC's Eco-Harvest market program has benefited significantly from our collaboration with SustainCERT. SustainCERT’s visionary leadership and expertise in market-based opportunities for Scope 3 carbon and other ecological outcomes allows us to scale our shared ambitions for positive impact at scale in agri-food systems.
