Pre-Issuance Project Ratings

Pre-issuance Ratings are used to make an investment decision and provide an indication of what Rating the project is expected to receive at issuance. 

This in-depth assessment is made up of 3 modules: 

Integrity - What rating this project is expected to receive at issuance

Delivery – Enjoy access to wholesale coverage of project types, so you have the broadest and most relevant data at your fingertips.

And across these 3 modules, remedial actions provide guidance on how to improve the project's quality and value.

Maximise project value with remedial actions

Our remedial action reports are designed to enhance the quality and delivery of carbon projects.

By implementing targeted remedial actions, projects can significantly improve their quality rating, for example from a current range of BBB-B to an impressive AA-A, boosting the value.

Enhance Project Ratings – Get the actions that can elevate project quality, resulting in a more favorable rating and increased market value.

Mitigate risks – Each remedial actions report breaks down risks associated with permanence, carbon accounting, and additionality, with detailed strategies to mitigate these risks.

See accurate projections – These reports address critical risks, ensuring that, for example, emissions impact is projected accurately.
