The problem

Your carbon impact must be one you can defend.

Backing the wrong project can jeopardise your climate targets and your reputation. Technical due diligence — grounded in audit-grade geospatial data and specialist carbon expertise — is what allows you to commit with confidence.

Not calibrated

Global datasets are not calibrated to the project level, and can misstate carbon estimates by as much as 30%.

No capacity

In-house geospatial teams are stretched too thin to conduct a full diligence review of every shortlisted project.

No proof

Without audit-grade data foundation and specialist carbon expertise, a review is unlikely to withstand external scrutiny.

You need carbon-science expertise applied wih audit-grade geospatial data — so every figure is defensible, and every credit is real.

Every carbon project is different — so every due diligence is too. We tailor our review to the risks that matter most for your project, surfacing the red flags early so you can move forward with confidence.

Types of projects we review — Space Intelligence

The types of projects we can review

A · Operating / issued-project DD

The project is already running

Operating, and may have issued credits

It may have issued credits. We independently verify additionality, eligibility and credit robustness against what has actually been issued, confirm planting and land cover from satellite data, and analyse disturbance and fire.

B · Pre-issuance / in-development DD

The project is seeking validation

In development or pre-issuance

We run a full risk-and-mitigations review against the standard, assess baseline and additionality, independently model carbon / VCU potential, review the PDD, and recommend improvements.

The questions we answer — Space Intelligence

Inside the DD report

We run a full technical review across the following main areas. Expand any question to see what we check and how.

Developed by carbon scientists and ecologists

Your Due Diligence report will be delivered by our solutions team, that brings together carbon standard specialists and geospatial experts with years of experience supporting NbS projects and advising on carbon standards.

We work closely with you to provide carbon potential and eligibility estimates that reflect the real conditions of your project under your chosen methodology.
