Digital Measurement, Reporting, and Verification

This white paper from SustainCERT and General Mills explores practical pathways to reduce agricultural Scope 3 emissions by combining claimable value chain interventions with landscape-level investments. Drawing on real-world pilots and the latest GHG accounting guidance, it highlights opportunities, challenges, and solutions for building a balanced approach to net zero.

How can companies credibly allocate greenhouse gas mitigation outcomes in complex agricultural supply chains? This white paper from SustainCERT, Cargill, and Soil Capital explores the technical challenges of co-products, crop rotations, and multi-crop supply sheds — and presents practical solutions to strengthen Scope 3 accounting and avoid double counting.

How can companies ensure their Scope 3 emission reductions are both real and credibly reported? SustainCERT’s Dual Factor Credibility Framework introduces a new approach that combines independent verification of mitigation outcomes with safeguards for co-claiming and reporting. The framework helps companies decarbonize their value chains, avoid double counting, and unlock opportunities for collaboration and co-investment.

How can digital innovation transform the credibility of carbon markets? This white paper from SustainCERT and the Climate Ledger Initiative explores guiding principles and practical blueprints for digital verification, highlighting how technology can improve accuracy, reduce costs, and scale trusted climate impact.
