## Certificate Principles

These principles govern how Isometric certifies carbon removal, ensuring trust in Isometric certificates.

- **Science first**: Our science team creates rigorous protocols to ensure every certificate represents a tonne of carbon dioxide durably removed from the atmosphere.
- **Transparent data**: Our public registry makes the data behind every certificate traceable from issuance to retirement— supported with documentation at every step.
- **Aligned incentives**: Our innovative approach reduces the risk of over-certifying, which has plagued carbon markets for years. Buyers—not suppliers— pay for verification, reducing conflicts of interest.
- **Rapid verification**: Our technology-enabled monitoring, reporting and verification means certificates can be issued monthly, reducing the cost of capital for suppliers.
