risk management system for carbon projects</h3><p> South Pole has in-house, independent risk and compliance functions. We follow regulated industry best practices and have established an independent risk function in charge of implementing tighter quality management processes across all projects in our portfolio. </p><p> South Pole upholds rigorous standards in carbon project evaluation through its Risk and Quality Control review processes. <strong data-redactor-tag="strong">These processes are applied on top of and in addition to the comprehensive requirements for carbon projects </strong>, mandated by carbon standards like Verra and Gold Standard. </p><p> We also empower our clients with the relevant insights to make informed decisions and holistically manage risk across their project portfolios. </p><h4>Robust quality, risk and compliance management in carbon asset development and project portfolios</h4><p> Our projects adhere to international carbon certification standards, ensuring strict compliance with quality and requirement specifications. Beyond these mandatory requirements by carbon standards, we have integrated an enhanced Quality Management System into our carbon asset development cycle and overall project portfolio management. We continuously update our approach in line with globally recognised standards, such as the United Global Compact (UNGC), Voluntary Carbon Standards (VCM), and the Core Carbon Principles (CCP) from the Integrity Council for the Voluntary Carbon Market (ICVCM). </p><p> Our Quality Management System includes: </p><ul> <li><strong>Updated quality criteria:</strong> In line with latest market developments, South Pole's technology experts are continuously updating our rigorous quality criteria specific to each carbon avoidance or removal technology. Our quality criteria include: </li> <ul> <li>Reputational risks</li> <li>Carbon accounting</li> <li>Additionality </li> <li>Permanence risks</li> <li>Social & environmental risks</li> </ul> </ul><ul> <li><strong>Risk assessment and mitigation:</strong> Applying our new internal risk scoring system, our experts evaluate the likelihood and impact of potential risks associated with each quality criteria, resulting in an overall scoring for each project. The review encompasses various sources, including but not limited to: carbon registries, regional media criticism, and available third-party rating agency reports. Based on the results of the assessment, our experts develop mitigation action plans for selected projects, with the goal of reducing the overall level of risk within the project. This engagement with projects on risk mitigation helps build awareness and improved quality management across the broader market. </li> </ul><ul> <li><strong>Comprehensive Know Your Counterparty (KYC) checks</strong>: Our comprehensive review features a Know Your Counterparty (KYC). We employ a risk-based KYC approach to align each partnership with our ethical and compliance standards. High-risk profiles undergo enhanced due diligence, requiring approval from a designated committee to reinforce rigorous oversight. Our industry-leading KYC software screens against sanctions, regulatory watchlists, politically exposed persons (PEP) lists, litigation and adverse media. In remote areas and with smaller communities and NGOs, we partner with top compliance service providers for market intelligence and on-the-ground support, ensuring high standards across all operations.</li> </ul><ul> <li><strong>Policies and guidelines</strong>: Our policies outline the selection criteria for Project Partners and the expectations from them.</li> </ul><ul> <li><strong>Mandatory Ethics and Code of Conduct, as well as compliance training</strong> for all South Pole staff, to ensure all employees adhere to legal standards and ethical practices while maintaining a strong, principled work environment.</li> </ul> </div> <div class="image-content-cta__cta"> </div> </div> <div class="image-content-cta"> <div class="image-content-cta__image"> <picture> <source srcset="https://www.southpole.com/uploads/thumbs/quality-management-system-south-pole-v2_1000x.jpg.webp" type="image/webp"> <img src="https://www.southpole.com/uploads/thumbs/quality-management-system-south-pole-v2_1000x.jpg" alt="quality-management-system-south-pole-v2.jpg"> </picture> </div> <div class="image-content-cta__content rich-content"> <p style="text-align: center;"><small><em> Integration of our enhanced Quality Management System into our overall carbon project portfolio management.</em></small> </p> </div> <div class="image-content-cta__cta"> </div> </div> <div class="image-content-cta"> <div class="image-content-cta__image"> </div> <div class="image-content-cta__content rich-content"> <h4>Transparent communication</h4><p> We are committed to helping our clients understand the complexities of carbon projects and the nuances that make up credit quality.

These carbon project ratings help improve overall transparency in the market and provide buyers with important insights into the factors and context behind carbon credits and the projects that issue them. </p><p> This is why South Pole engages third-party ratings agencies to perform independent reviews of selected projects, to further enhance risk management across its global project portfolio. The analyses and ratings of third-party carbon ratings agencies represent one important input to complement our internal assessments. </p><p> South Pole's key criteria for selecting ratings agency providers include: </p><ul> <li><strong>Rigorous methodology</strong>: Providers must have a robust, data-driven methodology to evaluate carbon credits. Their ratings need to be based on detailed assessments of project quality, risk factors, and additionality.</li> <li><strong>Transparency:</strong> Providers must be transparent about their rating process, providing clear and accessible information on how different carbon credits are assessed and scored.</li> <li><strong>Independent analysis</strong>: Providers must offer independent, third-party evaluations of carbon projects, to ensure unbiased and objective ratings.</li> <li><strong>Context & insights: </strong>Providers should also provide additional insights about rated carbon credits, to provide added context for buyers and to ensure informed decisions.</li> <li> <strong>Investment in innovation:</strong> Providers should be actively seeking to integrate advanced technologies and methodologies into their operations to enhance the accuracy and reliability of their ratings. </li> </ul> </div> <div class="image-content-cta__cta"> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="overlays__overlay" data-overlay-id="112" data-role="overlay"> <div class="overlays__overlay-content"> <div class="image-content-cta"> <div class="image-content-cta__image"> </div> <div class="image-content-cta__content rich-content"> <h3>Leadership with integrity</h3><p>Our leadership team is made up of recognised leaders with decades of robust experience.</p> </div> <div class="image-content-cta__cta"> </div> </div> <div class="image-content-cta"> <div class="image-content-cta__image"> <picture> <source srcset="https://www.southpole.com/uploads/thumbs/antoine-predour-int_1000x.jpeg.webp" type="image/webp"> <img src="https://www.southpole.com/uploads/thumbs/antoine-predour-int_1000x.jpeg" alt="antoine-predour-int.jpeg"> </picture> </div> <div class="image-content-cta__content rich-content"> <h4>Chief Risk Officer - Antoine Prédour</h4><p>South Pole has a dedicated Chief Risk Officer.
