What's in a Carma credit
High-integrity carbon credits
Removal and avoidance credits sourced from Verified Carbon Standard and Gold Standard registries, vetted through our Verified Impact framework before they reach you.
Best for: businesses balancing the carbon ledger after they have reduced everything they can.
The market has changed
The market is changing. Buyers no longer want abstract tonnes. They want supply chain resilience, regulator-defensible reporting, and visible co-benefits.
How we vet a project
The proof bundle
Every carbon project we consider runs through a structured nine-slot vetting framework. We call it the proof bundle.
Registry and baseline
Methodology and quantification
Monitoring, reporting, verification (MRV)
Additionality
Permanence and reversal risk
Leakage
Double-counting defence
Stakeholder engagement and safeguards
Risk coverage
How a project moves through the framework
Each project is cross-checked for consistency before sign-off. Four checks run on every credit: Volumes, vintage, VVB independence, registry consistency. Final review is human, structured against the nine-slot framework.
Where the proof lives
Projects that clear the proof bundle are published to IPFS and the Carma Climate Ledger. Public, blockchain-anchored records of every credit, every project, every retirement we issue.
Reporting your auditor can use
Carbon Carma delivers data your sustainability and finance teams can take into an audit. Not marketing material to put in a brochure.
Proof bundles
Project-level proof bundles, downloadable as PDF or accessed through the Carma Impact Hub.
Retirement records
Credit-level retirement records, traceable on the Carma Climate Ledger.
Tracking
Project tracking on every credit: Location, status, and MRV data.
Framework data
Data formatted to feed TNFD-aligned, CSRD-aligned, or B Corp evidence packs.
Substantiation pack
Evidence-backed documentation your comms and legal teams can stand behind for any public claim.
Annual review
Annual review meetings with your sustainability and finance leads, covering reporting updates, portfolio adjustments, and next-cycle planning.
Your auditor and your reporting team own the disclosure. We give them what they need.

What we don't claim
Voluntary carbon markets have lost trust through overclaiming. We are trying to do this differently.
We are not the certifier. Registries are. Carma is the platform that vets which projects make it onto our portfolio.
We do not claim carbon neutrality on your behalf. We do not promise zero emissions. We do not say “climate positive.”
We sell credits and run projects whose impact is verifiable. We give you data your auditor can review. The rest of your climate journey, measurement, reduction, disclosure, is your team's work, and we support it where we can.
