Key Takeaways

  • Agreena received SustainCERT verification for its Scope 3 project, resulting in the issuance of 10,964 Verified Impact Units covering 6,518 hectares across Hungary, Poland, and the UK.
  • The verification includes the first agricultural VIUs issued in Hungary and Poland, delivering 3,940 tonnes of verified CO2 emission reductions and 7,024 tonnes of CO2 removals.
  • Agreena now operates a dual pathway model with both Verra VCS-certified carbon credits and SustainCERT Verified Impact Units to meet different corporate climate strategies.
  • The company previously achieved Verra verification for its AgreenaCarbon Project in September 2025, which issued 2.3 million carbon credits across 1.6 million hectares.
  • Unlike tradeable carbon credits, VIUs represent verified emissions reductions within a company's own value chain and support Scope 3 reporting aligned with SBTi, CSRD, and US SEC climate disclosure requirements.

Agreena Completes Dual Verification Model

European soil carbon solutions provider Agreena has achieved verification of its Scope 3 project from SustainCERT, marking the completion of its dual pathway verification model. The milestone enables the issuance of 10,964 Verified Impact Units (VIUs) across three European markets, including the first agricultural VIUs issued in Hungary and Poland.

The SustainCERT verification covers 6,518 hectares of agricultural land, delivering 3,940 tonnes of verified CO2 emission reductions and 7,024 tonnes of CO2 removals through regenerative farming practices. This achievement follows Agreena's September 2025 Verra verification for its AgreenaCarbon Project, which issued 2.3 million carbon credits across 1.6 million hectares.

Addressing Corporate Supply Chain Emissions

The verification enables Agreena to offer two distinct carbon solutions to corporate clients. Verra VCS-certified carbon credits serve companies seeking to compensate for hard-to-abate emissions, while SustainCERT VIUs address emission reductions within companies' own agricultural supply chains. VIUs can be transferred across value chain partners while preventing double counting, supporting Scope 3 reporting requirements under frameworks including SBTi, CSRD, and emerging US SEC climate disclosure rules.
