Introducing SustainCERT’s Scope 3 platform to track, verify, and transfer value chain emissions reductions.

SustainCERT secures a $10 million Series A round led by Citizen Capital, Innovacom, and Microsoft—supercharging its digital carbon verification tools to scale integrity in net-zero claims.

With greenwashing risks on the rise, only by tackling Scope 3 emissions can companies build credible Net Zero strategies—supported now by the Value Change Initiative’s new guidance to help account, reduce, and report value-chain reductions effectively.

In early 2021, leaders from Danone, PepsiCo, Mars, VF Corp, and others came together in Value Change Labs to co-design practical frameworks for Scope 3 market-based accounting and unified climate claim definitions.

The voluntary carbon market is entering a new era—supercharged by soaring net-zero demand, institutional blueprints for scale, and digital verification that promises near-real-time issuance, improved accuracy, and integrity.

Bayer’s Soil Health Partnership—the second-ever Value-Chain Intervention to earn design certification under the Value Change Program—marks a breakthrough in credible Scope 3 emissions reduction by aligning ag-based climate action with rigorous Gold Standard and Value Change criteria.
