Certified carbon credit projects undergo independent third-party audits before credits are issued. These audits confirm the measured carbon sequestration and ensure that each credit is fully traceable and backed by verified climate impact.
For our local projects, we offer the option to apply a different approach through the Guarantree label, developed in collaboration with Vinçotte (a KIWA company) as independent verifier. Instead of focusing on carbon accounting, this optional audit framework assesses the quality of the planting, species selection, and the effective implementation of the long-term forest management plan.
This way, both models can rely on independent validation, each with a methodology tailored to the specific objectives of the project.
