We believe a credible carbon market, guided by honesty and transparency, provides the right incentives to support natural climate solutions that reduce emissions and remove carbon from the atmosphere — helping companies worldwide achieve net-zero ambitions. At grabek Global, we are committed to scaling a trusted carbon marketplace by developing carbon credits that meet the highest standards of integrity and quality. The following principles are fundamental to our carbon credit approach.
Our carbon credits are generated only from changes made to remove and store additional carbon beyond normal, business-as-usual operations.
Additionality is measured against project baselines (counterfactuals) that are conservatively developed and reflect what would have realistically occurred in the absence of a carbon project.
Our company’s carbon emission reductions and removals are robustly and clearly quantified in our Carbon Record.
We will not double count between our Greenhouse Gas inventory and the carbon credits we issue.
Our carbon projects are designed to store carbon removed from the atmosphere through the length of the project commitment and often beyond.
We have measures in place to address and mitigate potential risk factors, including buffers to compensate for unintentional reversals.
Our carbon projects include measures to mitigate leakage risks — if carbon is removed in one geography, emissions cannot be displaced to another geography.
Our projects should have a positive impact on local communities.
Our projects will contribute to achieving net-zero GHG emissions by mid-century
Our projects are strengthened by the development or improvement of co-benefits, such as supporting sustainable livelihoods and additional environmental benefits beyond carbon.
Our projects follow scientific methodologies available for public review, and our measurements are validated and verified by an independent third party.
G-G’s Carbon Record scientific methodology is publicly available, and our emissions are assured by an independent third party
We are committed to continuous improvement in the overall transparency, consistency, credibility and value delivered through carbon accounting frameworks and carbon markets.
All our carbon credits are third-party validated and issued by an independent registry to ensure adherence to project methodologies and the strongest monitoring, reporting and verification approaches.
Grabek maintains comprehensive information on our credited reduction and removal activities and has effective program governance to ensure transparency, accountability, continuous improvement and the overall quality of carbon credits.
