Scaling credible climate action

Bringing credibility to climate action since 2018

SustainCERT is a climate impact verifier founded in 2018 to build trust and credibility in the climate ecosystem.

We combine climate expertise with technology to develop innovative digital solutions that increase the speed and accuracy at which climate impact can be verified and unlock scale in climate action.

Our vision

A sustainable and climate-secure future where people, businesses, and ecosystems thrive.

Our mission

To create digital verification solutions that bring credibility to climate action.

What we do

We audit climate projects and impacts in carbon markets and value chains to verify the GHG reductions and removals and allow companies to credibly claim the impact of their interventions.

Our Value Chain Solutions enable companies in the Apparel, Food, and Agriculture sectors to credibly report on their decarbonization efforts and manage the impact of their value chain interventions together with partners in their value chain.

We are also an accredited Validation and Verification Body for carbon markets, where we audit carbon projects to ensure compliance with relevant standards before the issuance of carbon credits.
