Equitable Earth's M002 REDD+ Methodology Rated Low-Risk by Sylvera

Equitable Earth has announced that its M002 REDD+ methodology received an overall risk score of 3/10 from Sylvera, the independent carbon market intelligence firm. This is one of the highest scores Sylvera has assigned to a REDD+ methodology to date. The result follows Equitable Earth’s M001 ARR methodology’s overall risk score of 2/10 in 2025, itself one of the highest scores assigned to any methodology. The Sylvera Methodology Profile assesses a methodology's design against best practice across carbon accounting, additionality, permanence, safeguards, and co-benefits, evaluating the structural integrity of the framework itself, independent of any individual project.

This assessment builds on Equitable Earth's existing programme-level eligibility under the Integrity Council for the Voluntary Carbon Market's (ICVCM) Core Carbon Principles, adding another layer of external validation to their approach to nature-based carbon projects.

"We’re pleased to receive this recognition through this methodology assessment from Sylvera. We built Equitable Earth to eliminate pressure points in the market, and support high-quality projects protecting and restoring our natural world. These ratings are independent confirmation that we're doing that in the right way,” said Thibault Sorret, CEO, Equitable Earth.

"Equitable Earth has been proactive in seeking independent third-party validation for their methodologies. We look forward to continuing to provide the market with transparent assessments as their programme evolves," said Paul Budin, Head of Frameworks.
