“Credibility and transparency determine whether climate claims are trustworthy, compliant and genuinely impactful”
Luke Quinn, Head of Business Solutions, Agreena
SustainCERT for safeguarding“ The framework is considered a safeguard system because its structure is specifically designed to prevent common integrity risks such as double counting, overstating impact and claiming benefits without verifiable action,” Luke says.
Factor 1 covers verification and assignment of ownership, enforcing science-based methodology and actual on-ground change, while Factor 2 governs credible co-claiming, tracing assets through public registries and tightly integrating verified outcomes with inventory reporting.
“ Mitigation outcomes are converted into Transferable Impact Units and tracked in a public registry, which is an explicit mechanism to reduce the risk of freeriding and double counting,” Luke says. The system checks that only the company who sourced the goods from the impacted supply shed can report the reductions, enforcing“ quantitative, temporal, functional and geographical consistency”.
Inventory adjustments further ensure that only the correct volume of reductions is included in reporting, protecting against overstatement and maintaining alignment with regulatory boundaries.
Making supply chain decarbonisation actionable Agreena’ s approach operationalises the Dual Factor Framework into scalable supply chain solutions. Its platform connects farmers with corporate clients, tracks practice change and issues verified, tradable Impact Units for Scope 3 reporting.
“ Our S3 Project essentially operates as the intervention that is designed specifically to pass the two core factors of the SustainCERT framework,” Luke says. Agreena builds scientific rigour into every step, from farm enrolment to final reporting, using dMRV and rigorous QA / QC procedures. This includes the VM0042 methodology for improved agricultural land management and validated tier 3 modelling for soil organic carbon( SOC) removals.
Agreena’ s dMRV technology enables rapid expansion by monitoring millions of fields through AI and satellite data. Its proprietary platforms analyse geospatial data for tillage and cover crop presence, replacing manual audits and scaling transparent impact measurement.
