At the Carbon Foundation, we envision a future where carbon markets are defined by trust, transparency, and regulatory alignment—where every credit issued is not just a promise, but a proof of measurable impact and legal integrity.
Our mission is to transform carbon markets from fragmented and voluntary into fully accountable systems that serve both the climate and the global economy. Our mission is to support high-impact climate action through a compliance-first approach that aligns with evolving international standards, including Article 6 of the Paris Agreement.
We develop and maintain the infrastructure for AAA-rated (Assured Auditable Additional) carbon credits—a benchmark for environmental integrity, legal robustness, and market readiness. Each credit is grounded in science-based methodologies, independently verified, and issued through a secure, transparent platform.
