Unlocking verified sustainability impacts, beyond carbon.
As global markets increasingly demand credible proof of sustainability, organisations are looking beyond carbon to understand and communicate broader environmental and social outcomes. The RSB Impact Claims Platform empowers companies, producers, and investors to develop and use claims that reflect real, measurable, and science-based impacts across bio-based and circular value chains.
Anchored in RSB’s globally recognised sustainability framework, the platform enables members and technical experts to co-develop methodologies and tools that support measurable claims in areas such as soil carbon, soil health, biodiversity, water stewardship, and social impact. These impact claims can feed into market mechanisms — including RSB’s Book & Claim System — ensuring that verified sustainability achievements are recognised and rewarded across complex value chains.
Access to RSB’s Impact Claims Platform is a benefit of RSB membership.
While carbon metrics are well established, there remains a significant gap in how other sustainability impacts are quantified, verified, and claimed. Companies need credible tools to measure and communicate broader positive outcomes – and farmers and producers need a way to capture value from their sustainability efforts.
The RSB Impact Claims Platform provides a collaborative space for sharing expertise, validating technical approaches, aligning with evolving policy frameworks, and testing solutions through real-world pilots. It helps ensure that RSB’s impact claims framework delivers meaningful value to stakeholders across the value chain.
Key focus areas include, but are not limited to:
