From Measurement to Rating: How the Risk Behind a Soil Carbon Credit Is Assessed

The carbon market is gradually shifting from treating carbon credits as standardised units towards a more in-depth assessment of the quality of the evidence supporting each reported tonne of CO₂e. This is particularly important for soil organic carbon (SOC) projects, where climate outcomes are generated within a complex and spatially variable natural system influenced by factors such as soil type, climatic conditions, crops, tillage practices, crop residue management, fertilisation and other agronomic conditions. Following the successful completion of the independent validation and

BeZero Carbon Conducted an On-Site Visit to Carbonsafe’s Projects – Rating Expected in September

Representatives of the international carbon ratings agency BeZero Carbon visited Bulgaria as part of the independent rating process for Carbonsafe’s two projects – “CARBONSAFE CARBON FARMING PROJECT – NORTH BULGARIA” and “CARBONSAFE CARBON FARMING PROJECT – SOUTH BULGARIA”. The visit included meetings with the Carbonsafe team, a review and discussion of project documentation, as well as visits to farms participating in the projects. The on-site assessment forms part of the broader analytical process carried out by BeZero Carbon when evaluating the

Carbonsafe Launches the Current Cycle of Field Visits Across Participating Farms

The Carbonsafe team of agronomists has launched the current cycle of routine on-site visits to agricultural holdings participating in the company’s carbon farming projects. These visits are an integral part of the established Monitoring, Reporting and Verification (MRV) system and are carried out regularly throughout the implementation of the projects. Their primary objective is to document the current condition of the monitored fields and the agricultural practices applied during the respective growing season. This enables continuous monitoring of farm development between

Not All Carbon Credits Carry the Same Risk – And the Market Is Starting to Price the Difference

The Carbon Market Is Entering a New Phase For many years, carbon markets were largely driven by a single metric – the number of carbon credits generated. The more credits a project could produce, the more successful it appeared to be. Today, that logic is gradually changing. Corporate buyers, financial institutions, and investors are no longer evaluating projects solely by the volume of credits they generate. Instead, one question is becoming increasingly important: How reliable are these carbon credits? The answer depends on one factor

This milestone confirms that the project complies with the applicable standard and methodology for the measurement, monitoring, reporting, and independent verification of carbon removals in the agricultural sector. The assessment covered all key elements of the project’s management and reporting system, including the project documentation, methodological approach, monitoring procedures, soil sampling and laboratory

The Era of Evidence: Why the Next Decade Will Belong to Companies That Can Prove Every Claim They Make

Trust Is No Longer Built on Promises Over the past decade, sustainability has become an integral part of corporate strategy. Companies have announced ambitious decarbonization targets, published ESG reports, committed to net-zero pathways, and invested heavily in climate initiatives. These developments have been driven by growing societal expectations, evolving regulations, investor pressure, and the global transition toward a low-carbon economy. Today, however, sustainability is entering a new phase. Setting ambitious goals is no longer enough. Increasingly, companies are being evaluated not by what

The New European Sustainability Reporting Framework

At the heart of these changes are two interconnected regulatory frameworks – the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD, Directive (EU) 2022/2464) and the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS). CSRD is the regulatory framework that defines which companies are required to disclose sustainability information and sets out the main requirements for such reporting. ESRS, in turn, are the detailed technical standards developed by EFRAG and adopted by the European Commission, which define the specific indicators, methodologies and disclosure requirements. Unlike the previous Non-Financial
