THE VERIFIED CARBON STANDARD (VCS)

The Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) Program is the world’s leading greenhouse gas (GHG) crediting program and requires independent, third-party verification. An essential component to ensuring the integrity of the projects in Verra’s programs.

PROJECT DEVELOPMENT UNDER VERRA VCS

A project can request Verified Carbon Unit (VCU) issuance upon successful verification. This means: 

  1. Project activities are implemented and GHG reductions and removals are monitored. 
  2. A VVB – such as SustainCERT – verifies the emission reductions and removals the project achieved. 
  3. Verra needs to approve the verification report.

SD VISTA VERIFICATION SERVICES

SustainCERT is now an approved Validation and Verification Body (VVB) for Verra’s Sustainable Development Verified Impact Standard (SD VISta). This service certifies the social and environmental benefits of projects, supporting the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Projects can be directly verified for SD VISta assets or have an SD VISta label applied to credits in other programs like the Verified Carbon Standard. Verified projects are listed on a public registry managed by Verra.


As of July 2024, SustainCERT offers verification for 11 of the 14 SD VISta sectoral scopes, including agriculture, forestry, renewable energy, health care, sustainable tourism, and more. Our rigorous assessment process ensures that projects meet SD VISta standards, providing credible and impactful sustainable development outcomes.
