A holistic standard for Nature-Based Solutions delivering lasting impact.
SOCIALCARBON is a holistic international Greenhouse Gas (GHG) standard focused on Nature-Based Solutions. Projects using our standard go beyond carbon, embedding meaningful social, environmental and economic benefits to the projects and their local stakeholders to foster true permanence.
SOCIALCARBON,
a holistic approach.
SOCIALCARBON has been a recognized standard and promoted the social benefits of carbon projects for over 15 years.
We believe that nature-based projects can only be truly long-lasting when they are grounded locally. This is why we pioneer a holistic approach, ensuring projects are embedded in local communities and biodiversity, to foster true permanence.

Measuring impact.
All SOCIALCARBON projects are assessed against 6 aspects of project sustainability: carbon, biodiversity, social, financial, human and natural components.
Measuring these components ensures projects consider a broad range of impacts, which when analysed result in a hexagon that shows the evolution of the project's environmental and social contribution over time.
