Independent Verification and Audit Evidence

Carbon metric tonnes of CO2e recorded in the Insured Carbon Registry undergo independent third-party verification using validated methodologies and protocols. Verification documentation, audit evidence, and certificate references are maintained by vintage year and type of metric tonne of CO2e capture or abatement to support transparency, due diligence, and independent review.

Insurance Program

Verified Insured Carbon Credits (metric tonnes of CO2e removed) are protected by the Insured Carbon insurance program, which is designed to protect the owner of the Verified Insured Carbon Credit against qualifying invalidation risks over a defined 10-year coverage period. The Insured Carbon program utilizes captive insurance programs and reinsurance from highly rated carriers to provide financial strength and stability to the Verified Insured Carbon Credit.

Insurance coverage:

  • Protects integrity of verified carbon metric tonne of CO2e removed
  • Engages actuarial studies and analytics of each verified carbon metric tonne of CO2e removed
  • Enhances auditability and transparency through an insurance-based MRV/dMRV IT system
  • Creates an insured fungible asset that supports balance sheet treatment considerations
  • Helps mitigate greenwashing risk
