Independent Carbon Integrity & Climate Asset Advisory

Carbon market decisions built around integrity.

JSC helps buyers, investors, developers and portfolio owners evaluate carbon projects, credits and climate assets before they commit capital, enter transactions or make claims — so climate decisions are grounded in stronger evidence and directed toward meaningful impact.

Assess the evidence. Understand the risks. Identify projects and credits you can stand behind.

Featured product

A structured integrity assessment for existing carbon projects and credits, designed to turn complex evidence into clearer next steps.

Carbon Integrity Report
CIR

Carbon Integrity Advisory → products and deliverables: the Carbon Integrity Report (CIR), the Carbon Credit Red Flag Report and a deeper Integrity & Risk Assessment where justified.

The CIR helps buyers, investors, brokers, marketplaces, portfolio owners and project developers understand how defensible the credits associated with a project are from an integrity perspective.

It identifies material red flags, evidence gaps, critical assumptions and priority follow-up questions across additionality, carbon accounting, permanence, MRV and methodology alignment.
