Carbon Credit Validation and Verification

A carbon-constrained world is a new reality for organisations and companies. Emissions regulations are changing and stakeholders are increasingly pressuring management on environmental performance. Meanwhile, opportunities for competitive differentiation are emerging, energy and other input costs are rising, new risks from climate change are increasing and carbon markets are evolving.

Purpose

Carbon credit validation and verification is a third party service related to the compliance market, regulating emission allowances and offsets according to the Kyoto Protocol’s flexible mechanisms he European Directive on Emissions Trading (EU ETS) or voluntary emission reductions schemes.

Benefits

Voluntary emission reduction actions allow you to take advantage of voluntary efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by following certain regulations and standards. This allows you to credibly demonstrate to stakeholders your commitment to reducing carbon emissions and benefit from the possibility to trade the resulting credits in the carbon markets. Emissions Trading is a Kyoto Protocol mechanism established to cost effectively reduce emissions and meet Kyoto Protocol commitments. Partnering with DNV, one of the world’s largest carbon credit verification bodies, means that you can rest assured that the credits generated will command the trust and confidence of the markets.
