The GHG Process
Your roadmap to verified action and ownership transparency
Navigate each milestone with confidence and clarity
At Green Knight Environmental, transparency is not just a principle — it is a practice that reflects our values.
The GHG Process is our step-by-step framework for guiding buyers and partners through a seamless, accountable voluntary carbon credit journey — from initial validation to final retirement, with each milestone securely mapped, tracked, monitored and independently audited.
Designed with due diligence in mind, this six-phase system provides a clear roadmap to ensure that every project is reviewed, registered, documented and verified with integrity.
Explore the timeline below to understand how we safeguard every transaction and uphold the highest standards across the voluntary carbon market.
