Carbon accounting
Carbon estimates from trees that were actually counted.
Most plantation carbon figures are derived from trees pledged, not trees standing. EcoAttest estimates from verified counts, which usually produces a smaller number — and a defensible one.

Capabilities
Figures you can stand behind twelve months later
An ESG number quoted to a board has to be reproducible when someone asks where it came from. Estimates are snapshotted rather than recalculated on the fly.
- Carbon estimates per project and per site
- Auditable snapshots, so a quoted figure can be reproduced
- Historical trend across reporting periods
- ESG summaries in kilograms and tonnes
- Counted from verified sites only — a site with no approved visit contributes nothing
Verified sites only
A site with no approved visit contributes nothing to a carbon estimate, however many trees were planned for it.
These are estimates, not carbon credits.
EcoAttest produces estimated sequestration from counted trees and configured species factors. It does not issue, certify or verify carbon credits, and these figures are not a substitute for accreditation under a recognised standard.
Where you need certified credits, these estimates and the underlying verified evidence are useful inputs to a certification process — but the certification itself is done by an accredited body, not by us.
Check the method against your own numbers.
