ACR is a leading carbon offset program recognized for its strong standards for environmental integrity and quest to innovate. Founded in 1996, ACR has over two decades of unparalleled experience in development of rigorous, science-based carbon offset standards and methodologies as well as operational experience in the oversight of high-quality offset project listing, verification, registration, offset issuance, serialization and on-line retirement reporting. ACR is a California Air Resources Board (CARB) approved Offset Project Registry (OPR) for the California cap-and-trade program. ACR has also been approved by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) to supply credits to airlines under the CORSIA and is positioning itself for a role in new compliance offset markets in other U.S. states and under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement. ART is a standalone, independent program that develops and administers standardized procedures for crediting emission reductions and removals from national or large sub-national REDD+ programs. ART’s standard for the measurement, monitoring, reporting and verification of reductions and removals from the forest sector — The REDD+ Environmental Excellence Standard, known as TREES — represents the next step in the evolution of global efforts to protect and restore tropical forests.
