Linking carbon credits to nature outcomes.
CarbonPlus is an innovative, science-backed and sophisticated labelling product that connects verified carbon projects with measurable nature impacts, like habitat restoration, improvements in soil quality, or the return of woodland bird species.
Exclusively integrating the Accounting for Nature® Framework, CarbonPlus adds environmental integrity to carbon credits such as Australian Carbon Credit Units (ACCUs) by linking nature outcomes that are scientifically measured, independently audited, and transparently reported.
CarbonPlus aims to help meet the growing market demand for carbon credits that deliver credible climate and nature co-benefits.
