AOF Encounters with ERS and Kanop
Members have inquired several times over the last few months about sessions and dialogues with service providers and we are trialling this with ERS and Kanop who have been repeatedly mentioned in this context over the last few months. Please get in touch with Caroline direct if you would like to be part of subsequent events of this kind.
Come and bring your questions to Thibault and Romain who will share how they currently work and support ARR projects!
ERS - Thibault Sorret
ERS certifies high-integrity, nature-based projects on the carbon markets. Our standard is built to drive real climate impact, restore biodiversity, and support thriving communities.
We take a holistic approach, assessing each project across three core pillars: ecological recovery, carbon, and livelihoods. Biodiversity and local communities aren’t optional afterthoughts—they’re crucial to long-term success.
ERS offers stronger safeguards, combining expert third-party audits with cutting-edge digital MRV tools like satellite imagery and geolocated field data to improve and standardise carbon calculations. Our process is responsive and efficient. We've digitised and streamlined certification to make it our certification process scalable—without sacrificing rigour.
Kanop - Romain Fau
Kanop harnesses AI and satellite intelligence to de-risk nature-based investments, accelerate project development and certification, and deliver precise climate and biodiversity impact measurements across ecosystems
Kanop supports many clients with dynamic baselining under VM0047 (area-based approach) and similar methodologies, across different types of ARR projects in diverse ecosystems from tropical to temperate forests. The use of Kanop AGB data layer helps capture biomass changes early on in the project life and does not saturate, as would traditional indices.
Come and listen to them and bring all the questions you have! Please register so that it is in your diary...
