Carbon Market Design
Ensuring environmental integrity in the design, development and implementation of national and international market-based instruments is key to restore trust in market-based instruments. Our work focuses on showcasing the robust and innovative operationalisation of carbon crediting programmes' requirements.
Selected services:
- Assessment of Article 6 requirements and those of other carbon crediting programmes on additionality determination, quantification of mitigation outcomes, and MRV
- Technical advice on the development of methodological requirements for upscaled crediting (i.e., sectoral crediting, policy crediting)
- Evaluation of design choices made by different carbon crediting programmes in terms of their social and environmental integrity
- Preparation and alignment of methodologies with new requirements in international carbon markets and development of methodological tools

Regulatory leadership
Our experts lead and participate in international task forces and working groups, helping you understand today’s climate policy landscape and the carbon markets of the future.
The first step towards lowering your corporate carbon footprint is understanding it. Our proven methodologies give you a clear and comprehensive understanding of your company’s greenhouse gas emissions, helping you set realistically ambitious reduction targets while identifying opportunities to reduce your carbon footprint.
Your carbon footprint involves more than just the greenhouse gases produced by your own operations. It includes your entire value chain (including customers and subcontractors) and even extends to employee commuting and business travel. We calculate the GHG emissions associated with these extended parts of your business, giving you the insights needed to plan truly meaningful climate action.
We document the carbon embedded in each product you manufacture or sell, at each stage of its life, from manufacture to sale and use, and through to disposal; no matter where your company is situated in the value chain. This does more than give you a meaningfully granular look at your GHG contributions; it also helps identify the appropriate standard to use when calculating the carbon footprint of each product for which you are responsible.
We carefully document the carbon footprint represented by your company’s entire range of financial investments, giving you another avenue to document your commitment to meaningful action and to reduce carbon risk exposure.
