For Buyers
Impact Evidence
What you receive when you buy Carrot credits — retirement certificates, public audit trails, and reporting compatibility.
Each purchase generates a set of auditable evidence — designed to support ESG reporting, external audits, and public disclosures.
Retirement certificate
When you retire credits, your organization receives an on-chain certificate with:
- Unique identifier of the retired credit
- Date and time of retirement (immutable timestamp)
- Volume in metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (or recycled material)
- Credit type and methodology applied
- Link to public audit trail — traceable to the physical event of origin
The certificate is permanent and verifiable by any third party via Carrot Explorer.
Public audit trail
Each credit has a chain of public, traceable evidence. An external auditor can verify:
- The physical event that originated the credit (material type, weight, facility, date)
- The dMRV verification applied (which rules were executed, which passed)
- The certificate issued (GasID or RecycledID)
- The credit minted and its transfer history
- The retirement with beneficiary identification
