San Francisco, Jan 28 2026 – Regrow, the Agriculture Resilience Platform provider, announced today that its Emissions Factor (EF) methodology has successfully completed a third-party validation by SustainCERT. SustainCERT issued a limited assurance validation that the design of Regrow’s Emission Factor methodology is consistent with the WRI/WBCSD GHG Protocol Corporate Standard and its draft Land Sector and Removals Guidance (LSRG).
This validation provides confidence in Regrow’s climate emissions and removals quantification methodology for Scope 3 accounting. Companies working with Regrow will have increased confidence in the emissions quantification process and are one step closer to project verification. It also streamlines the process for those already calculating emissions footprints with Regrow.
Crucially, validation covers the design framework and accounting logic for the quantification approach for both emissions and removals quantification. Removals are gaining momentum as a critical pathway for achieving climate targets, and companies across the agriculture value chain are incorporating removals into climate strategies.
By completing SustainCERT’s validation process, Regrow enables companies to:
- Confidently report Scope 3 emissions and removals methodologically in line with the GHGP Protocol draft Land Sector and Removals Guidance, a leading global climate accounting and reporting framework
- Verify emission factors with SustainCERT more efficiently, reducing time and cost by relying on a methodology that has already undergone third-party review
- Navigate audits with confidence, supported by Regrow’s direct experience working through SustainCERT’s requirements
“SustainCERT’s validation gives companies confidence that Regrow can underpin high‑integrity climate claims”
said Lucia von Reusner, Director of Carbon Protocols and Policy at Regrow. “Third party assurance of climate claims are increasingly expected. This pre-validated methodology streamlines the path to assurance, accelerates trust, and demonstrates Regrow’s scientific rigor. As removals become a critical lever for managing climate risk, this fit-for-purpose validation lets companies invest credibly in their Scope 3 supply chains.”
From SustainCERT’s perspective, methodology validation plays a critical role in improving efficiency and consistency across the market.
“Third-party validation of methodologies can significantly reduce friction for both corporations and service providers,” said Marion Verles, CEO of SustainCERT.
“When methodologies are reviewed upfront and shown to align with established standards, it enables more efficient program implementation and outcome assurance, supporting credible climate action at scale.”
The validation reinforces Regrow’s commitment to delivering scientifically robust, transparent, and scalable solutions that help companies manage climate risk, meet reporting requirements, and build resilient agricultural supply chains.
