High Quality

Our carbon offsets are certified for the United Nations Clean Development Mechanism (UN-CDM) methodology and exclusively account for newly planted indigenous trees (active reforestation).

Our projects plant forests that restore natural biodiversity giving you security against greenwashing.

The Clean Development Mechanism (CDM), established under the Kyoto Protocol in 1997, allows companies with Net Zero commitments to purchase verified emission-removal certificates. The CDM thus serves as a key instrument in facilitating global climate action.

The CDM establishes comprehensive standards for carbon removal project methodologies, including their validation, verification, and the accounting principles used to calculate the resulting Certified Emission Reductions (CERs).

Key Criteria for High Quality Accreditation:

Additionality

Our accounting model is simple and transparent. First there was no tree,

now there is a tree

Permanence

We ensure that all carbon forest are

planted in forest reserves

with 99 to 1.000 years of protection.

Biodiversity

We don´t think in trees and plantations.

We think in forests with indigenous

biodiversity that supports wildlife.

Accounting

We use science based accounting standards, remote sensing technologies

and satellite monitoring to create a conservative carbon removal model.

ISO 14064

High Intergity

Our carbon offsets are ISO 14064 certified for conservative and accurate carbon accounting based on science backed data analysis of active reforestation impact, remote sensing technologies and satellite tracking to monitor growth as well as state of the art carbon sink modelling tools.

ISO 14064 is an international standard for greenhouse gas (GHG) management, providing a framework for quantifying, reporting, and verifying GHG emissions. Developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), this standard is designed to support organizations and governments in managing their GHG inventories while promoting consistency and transparency across different entities.

It is composed of three parts, each addressing specific aspects of GHG emissions management, and is particularly valuable for creating credible inventories and for verifying emissions reductions.

Part I

For Companies

Specifies requirements and guidance for quantifying and reporting GHG emissions and removals at the organizational level. This part helps organizations develop consistent and credible GHG inventories, providing a bottom-up approach to data collection and emission quantification.

Part III

For Validation and Verification Bodies

Establishes guidelines for the validation and verification of GHG assertions, including inventories and emissions reductions. It provides a standardized process for verifying GHG reports, ensuring that the reported data is accurate and consistent with the established criteria.

Part II

For Developers

Addresses the quantification and reporting of GHG reductions from project activities. It outlines how emission reductions are calculated for specific projects and ensures that they are verifiable and transparent.

Carbon Orchard Projects are certified for ISO-14064-2 for conservative carbon accounting meeting the distinction criteria for High Integrity .

UN - SDG

High Impact

Our carbon offset projects are certified for 12 of the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN-SDG) for the impact they deliver beyond environmental restoration. Your path to Net-Zero commitment helps to fight poverty by providing food and water security, education facilities and jobs to communities in developing nations.

In 2015, the United Nations (UN) adopted an ambitious set of 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as part of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. These goals aim to address a broad spectrum of global challenges, such as poverty, inequality, climate change, environmental degradation, and peace and justice. With these goals, the UN seeks to foster global cooperation in improving social, economic, and environmental conditions by 2030.

The SDGs consist of 17 interconnected goals, supported by 169 specific targets aimed at improving the lives of people worldwide. These goals cover a wide range of issues, from ending poverty and hunger to promoting clean energy and fostering economic growth. The key goals include:

End Poverty: Eliminate poverty in all its forms everywhere.
End Hunger: Achieve food security, improve nutrition, and promote sustainable agriculture.
Gender Equality: Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls.
Good Health and Well-Being: Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages.
Affordable and Clean Energy: Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable, and modern energy for all.
