About SustainCERT

We are transforming the verification industry to ensure that every climate claim is accurate and trustworthy, promoting credible climate action across carbon markets and value chains.

CLIMATE EXPERTISE MEETS DIGITALIZATION

SustainCERT, founded in 2018 by the Gold Standard Foundation as its official certification body, has since evolved into an independent Validation and Verification Body for climate impact. Today, SustainCERT is a global leader in climate impact verification, offering innovative, technology-driven solutions to ensure the credibility of climate action. The company specializes in verification services for carbon markets and Scope 3 decarbonization projects.

 

OUR VISION

A sustainable and climate-secure future.

 

OUR MISSION

To develop solutions that bring credibility to climate action.

WHAT WE DO

To limit global warming to 1.5°C, achieving net zero by 2050 is essential, requiring a 7% annual reduction in emissions. Our unique approach, driven by extensive climate expertise, delivers the speed, quality, and scalability to meet these ambitious targets thanks to the support of the SustainCERT platform.


Our Value Chain Impact Verification Solution enables companies in the Apparel, Food and Agriculture sectors to credibly report on their decarbonization efforts and co-claim the impact of their value chain interventions.


Through our carbon credits services, we conduct thorough and independent assessment and ensure the accuracy and high quality of carbon credits in line with Gold Standard and Verra requirements.
