Social Carbon Ltd

Social Carbon is a UK-registered social enterprise responsible for managing the SOCIALCARBON Standard, a framework used to certify nature-based carbon projects. Originating from Brazil in the early 2000s, the standard was developed to ensure carbon projects deliver broader social and environmental benefits alongside emissions reductions. It applies a holistic methodology assessing six sustainability dimensions, including biodiversity and community impact, and is used globally by project developers and local communities to access environmental markets. The organisation operates within the voluntary carbon market, supporting high-integrity projects grounded in sustainable livelihoods and long-term ecosystem restoration.
