For Corporate Buyers
Built for corporate carbon buyers
Procure with confidence and monitor with peace of mind. VCM.fyi gives sustainability teams the intelligence they need for pre-purchase due diligence and ongoing portfolio risk management.
The challenge
Carbon procurement is high-stakes
Corporate sustainability teams face mounting pressure to procure high-quality carbon credits while managing reputational, regulatory, and financial risk across a fragmented market. The consequences of getting it wrong are public and lasting.
Credit quality risk
A headline about a project in your portfolio can undo months of ESG communication. Manual monitoring cannot keep up with the pace of market developments across registries, geographies, and methodologies. By the time a quarterly review surfaces an issue, the reputational damage is already done.
Procurement complexity
Evaluating projects across multiple registries, methodologies, and geographies requires specialized knowledge and scattered data sources. Comparing a Verra REDD+ project in Indonesia with a Gold Standard cookstove project in Kenya means reconciling different field names, credit taxonomies, and risk profiles with no unified view.
Post-trade blind spots
After purchase, most teams lose visibility into project-level developments until it is too late. Quarterly rating reviews are not frequent enough to catch regulatory shifts, community conflicts, or methodology challenges as they emerge. The gap between purchase and next review is where surprises happen.
How VCM.fyi helps
Intelligence for every stage of procurement
From initial project screening through ongoing portfolio monitoring, VCM.fyi provides the structured intelligence corporate buyers need to make defensible procurement decisions and catch risks before they escalate.
Pre-purchase screening
AI forensic memos for every project with risk signals, price narratives, and source-cited findings. Screen projects in minutes, not days. Each memo synthesizes intelligence from over 100 sources including news, regulatory filings, and registry databases into a structured report that surfaces what matters for your procurement decision.
Developer due diligence
Five-dimension risk scoring on every project developer: governance, financial, legal, social, and institutional risk. Each proponent receives an overall risk rating with detailed risk factors and mitigation considerations — giving your risk committee a structured framework for their own assessment.
Continuous monitoring
Weekly AI scans of 11,000+ projects across six registries. Get alerts when material changes affect credits in your portfolio before they become headlines. The scanning pipeline runs every Friday with daily incremental checks on high-priority projects, so you are never more than a week behind on any development.
Additional capabilities
Beyond project screening
Carbon procurement decisions depend on more than project-level data. VCM.fyi layers in country-level regulatory intelligence and an AI analyst that can answer questions about any project on demand, giving your team a complete picture without switching between tools.
Regulatory risk by country
Article 6 status, CORSIA eligibility, and export restrictions for every host country. Understand whether the jurisdictional landscape supports or threatens the credits you hold or plan to buy.
AI analyst on demand
Ask questions about any project and get source-cited answers in seconds. Whether you need a quick risk summary for an internal meeting or a deep dive into a methodology controversy, the AI analyst draws on the full intelligence database to respond.
