The Carbon Verification Protocol (CVP™)
CVP™ is the first-of-its-kind infrastructure protocol setting the standard for auditable carbon data in business travel.
One problem, across the whole industry
Carbon figures are increasingly under scrutiny - from regulators, investors, and auditing bodies. But while emissions reporting is rising in importance, it remains broken in execution.
Same trip, different tools, different carbon emissions numbers. Methodologies applied inconsistently. No audit trails. No version control. No defensibility. Even when suppliers believe they are aligned, results differ and no one can explain why.
CVP™: Introducing the new foundation for CO₂ certainty
CVP™ changes that. Designed as an infrastructure protocol - not just a reporting tool - CVP™ is supplier-agnostic across the ecosystem to output consistent, audit-grade emissions data.
Each carbon emission value calculated under CVP™ is:
- Tokenized at the moment of creation
- Immutable and traceable back to aircraft, routing, factors and more
- Backed by a complete audit trail, versioned methodology, and metadata
Every partner issuing CVP™-verified values applies the same logic and passes conformity checks. No recalculations. No ambiguity.
Built for enterprise-grade auditability
CVP is built on six core principles:
- Compliance - Correct and consistent application of methodology
- Completeness - Full metadata capture per activity
- Immutability - Results are locked at creation
- Identifiability - Corporate-specific tokenization
- Tokenization - Each CO₂ value gets a unique verification token
- Accessibility - Tokens retrievable anytime, via API or file
These principles ensure that carbon data aligns with the same level of defensibility as financial data - and that audit readiness is embedded by default. The resulting data forms the foundation for implementing corporate reduction and removal strategies.
