Ensuring Integrity Through Credit Certification Standard Bodies

Axiom Carbon Index aligns closely with the White House's principles for high integrity voluntary carbon markets by implementing robust governance standards that prioritize transparency, accountability, and responsiveness to evolving best practices, scientific advancements, and policy landscapes. It operates a dedicated registry that transparently tracks the issuance, ownership, retirement, and cancellation of carbon credits, ensuring activities are not registered with multiple entities. Axiom ensures rigorous Measurement, Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification (MMRV) of emissions reductions and removals, with procedures in place to mitigate double-counting risks such as preventing double-registration and sales. Furthermore, it mandates publicly accessible and comprehensive information on all crediting activities, and mandates independent, accredited third-party verification and validation of reported emissions reductions and project or program validity. These measures effectively address potential conflicts of interest, reinforcing stakeholder trust and supporting credible climate action initiatives.
