Are carbon offset projects verified for their impact?

Yes, carbon offset projects undergo rigorous verification to ensure their impact. Independent third-party organisations like Verra and the Gold Standard assess and verify these projects based on established standards and protocols. This verification process ensures that the projects effectively reduce or remove the specified amount of carbon emissions and achieve the added co-benefits they state. By undergoing such scrutiny, carbon offset projects maintain transparency, credibility, and reliability, ensuring that the steps taken to compensate for emissions and restore nature yield genuine environmental benefits and carbon reductions. All DGB Group’s nature-based projects are independently verified according to leading industry standards, such as the Verified Carbon Standard by Verra or the Gold Standard, ensuring their quality, benefits, and impact.
