Frequently asked questions
How do I know a soil carbon credit is high quality?+
Look for rigorous baselines, quantified MRV uncertainty, credible permanence handling, and ICVCM CCP alignment. Independent due diligence tests these rather than taking them on trust.
Is due diligence only for buyers?+
It is buyer-facing, but developers also use a pre-sale integrity review to strengthen and de-risk their offering.
