Agreena has achieved verification of its Scope 3 project from SustainCERT, activating the issuance of 10,964 Verified Impact Units (VIUs).
Following Verra verification for its AgreenaCarbon Project in September 2025, Agreena can now demonstrate third-party assurance for all soil carbon outcomes to meet different corporate climate strategies. These include Verra VCS-certified carbon credits to compensate for hard-to-abate emissions, and SustainCERT Verified Impact Units for companies seeking to account for emission reductions and removals within their own agricultural supply chains.
The 10,964 VIUs issued by SustainCERT cover 6,518 hectares across Hungary, Poland, and the UK, delivering 3,940 tonnes of verified CO2 emission reductions and 7,024 tonnes of CO2 removals through regenerative farming practices.
Unlike carbon credits, which can be traded and used to compensate for residual emissions, VIUs represent verified emissions reductions and removals generated within a company’s own value chain. VIUs can be transferred and co-claimed across value chain partners while preventing double counting. This enables robust Scope 3 reporting aligned with frameworks such as SBTi, CSRD, and emerging US SEC climate disclosure requirements.
Simon Haldrup, co-founder and CEO of Agreena, commented: “Agreena has built the largest verified soil carbon programmes globally. Whether a company needs compliance-ready carbon credits or Verified Impact Units for their supply chain, we have the verification credentials, the pioneering technology, and the farmer network to deliver. SustainCERT verification provides further confidence to corporates in the credibility of soil carbon as a climate tool and demonstrates our rigorous approach across multiple frameworks.”
SustainCERT conducted verification of the measurement, reporting, and verification (MRV) approach used in Agreena’s Verra project, which combines satellite monitoring, soil sampling, and advanced modelling to deliver field-level accuracy.
The dual verification model positions Agreena to serve the growing demand for credible agricultural decarbonisation solutions as corporates face mounting pressure to address Scope 3 emissions – typically the largest contributor to their carbon footprint.
