Applauds American Carbon Registry’s Longstanding Leadership in Carbon Markets;
Further Assures Existing and Potential Buyers of Quality of GreenTrees’ Carbon Credits
THE PLAINS, Va., July 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — ACRE Investment Management applauds the Integrity Council for the Voluntary Carbon Market (ICVCM) on its landmark decision to award Core Carbon Principle approval to the American Carbon Registry’s Afforestation and Reforestation of Degraded Lands (ARR) methodology.
ICVCM’s announcement further validates ACR’s verification and issuance of nearly 7.8 million carbon credits to ACRE’s GreenTrees reforestation program.
WHY IT MATTERS:
- The ICVCM is an independent, non-profit governance body which “aims to set and maintain a voluntary global threshold standard for quality in the voluntary carbon market.”
- Each credit now carries the internationally recognized Core Carbon Principle (CCP) label of approval, which assures buyers, partners, and stakeholders that every credit, after robust quantification and additionality assessment and verification, represents one tonne of carbon removed from the atmosphere.
- This major milestone strengthens trust in voluntary carbon markets and spotlights the high standards that drive impactful climate solutions.
FROM ACRE CO-FOUNDER AND MANAGER CHANDLER VAN VOORHIS:
“ICVCM’s decision validates the rigorous work behind ACR’s methodology and affirms
GreenTrees’ leadership in delivering high-integrity carbon credits. We remain committed to advancing transparent, science-based restoration that sets industry standards and serves communities, landowners, and the planet.”
“ACRE also recognizes ACR’s longstanding and continuous dedication to upholding integrity, transparency, and excellence in carbon markets.”
