Nature-based project origination consulting
We help project developers strengthen nature-based projects to meet the integrity standards buyers and financiers expect.

The Earthly advantage
We have assessed thousands of nature-based projects worldwide, so we know where designs fall short before a single credit is issued. Earthly's origination consulting helps developers meet the integrity bar that policy, frameworks and offtakers now demand, building projects that hold their value as the market matures.
1.
Pre-feasibility screening
We assess whether it is feasible to develop a successful nature based project in your chosen area.
2.
Implementation due diligence
We validate the project design, identify risks, and address gaps before project registration and implementation.
3.
Design, registration & issuance
We write the PDD and manage registry and VVB relationships during monitoring, verification and issuance cycles.
4.
Multi-year forward offtake agreements
We support offtaker and investor outreach, deal structuring for both spot and forward agreements.
Who is Earthly's origination consulting for?
Earthly's origination consulting is designed for project developers and project managers looking to strengthen the integrity and commercial readiness of their nature-based projects.
1. Developing a nature-based project
If your project is still early-stage and you're looking for support with design, PDD writing, registration, and issuance, we'll help you build it up to standard.
2. Identified gaps with Earthly's pre-assessment
If Earthly's pre-assessment identified integrity gaps in your project, we'll help you close them and get it ready for our marketplace.
3. Already certified. Aim higher
Certification gets you to market. Keystone shows you how far beyond it you actually are. We assess your project across 168 indicators covering carbon, biodiversity and people, then give you a prioritised set of improvements to meet what buyers now expect.

Why partner with Earthly?
Projects designed to Earthly’s integrity standard are better positioned to attract demand for higher-integrity credits, strengthen their commercial readiness, meet offtaker requirements and respond to evolving market expectations. We can help you get there by considering integrity across carbon, people and biodiversity from the early stages.
Beyond carbon
Earthly developed the market's leading holistic quality framework, going beyond carbon to assess biodiversity and social impacts in as much depth.
Global expertise
Our portfolio and experience spans across ecosystems, regions and verification standards, allowing us to create high impact projects globally.
Build project value
We tailor our support to your project’s stage and ambition, focusing our expertise where it can have the greatest impact and help build your project’s long-term value.
Build the integrity buyers and financiers look for
Keystone 3.0: our holistic integrity framework
Less than 9% of over 1,000 projects screened have met our minimum standards.
168 quality assessments = de-risked project
Keystone 3.0 assesses 168 data points across carbon, people and biodiversity, compared with 20-90 indicators used by typical market standards. This depth helps identify where your project is strong, where it can be improved, and how it can better meet the expectations of buyers and financiers.
Our framework works both ways: it gives you a clear, transparent methodology for assessing and strengthening your project, while giving buyers and financiers greater confidence in its integrity.
