UK climate action platform Ecologi has unveiled its Carbon Project Assessment Framework, setting a new standard for quality and transparency in the Voluntary Carbon Market (VCM), according to company announcements last week.
Drawing inspiration from the financial sector’s use of multiple rating agencies, Ecologi integrates the strengths of leading carbon credit evaluators—Sylvera, BeZero Carbon, Calyx Global, and Renoster—into a unified, weighted scoring system.
The framework also incorporates valuable data and insights from AlliedOffsets and geospatial validation from Earth Blox.
This multi-source, data-driven approach enhances the integrity of Ecologi’s project due diligence, providing deeper insights at every stage of evaluation.

Each carbon project is assessed using a robust structure built on three pillars—Climate, Nature, and People—and evaluated across two key dimensions—Quality and Risk.
The outcome is one of the most holistic and rigorous project evaluations currently available in the VCM, according to Ecologi.
As CEO Dimitri Theocharis explains, the goal is to restore trust and confidence in a market that has struggled with inconsistent standards and subpar projects.
While risk cannot be entirely removed, this framework is designed to significantly reduce it, allowing for more impactful, high-quality outcomes.
With this launch, Ecologi is helping companies better navigate their climate journeys by enabling smarter, more informed decisions about carbon credit investments.
