SCS Global Services Named 2026 "Best Verification Company" by Environmental Finance
SCS Global Services, an international leader in third-party environmental and sustainability certification, has been named "Best Verification Company" in Environmental Finance's 2026 Voluntary Carbon Market Rankings. The award follows SCS Global Services' recent announcement that it has verified over 400 million tonnes of CO2e emissions reductions and removals since 2008, spanning more than 1,350 audits across 50-plus countries.
“This award is independent confirmation of our efforts over the last 18 years to ensure the legitimacy of carbon offset credits through in-depth validation and verification. We are grateful to our peers for recognizing our work, and we look forward to many more years of working to ensure climate mitigation,” said Christie Pollet-Young, Vice President, Climate at SCS Global Services. Pollet-Young recently discussed trends in the voluntary carbon market with Environmental Finance, calling for third-party verification professionals to be included earlier in market-design decisions and emphasizing the importance of high-integrity carbon offset credits.
Environmental Finance's Voluntary Carbon Market Rankings poll industry participants annually on the leading traders, project developers, and service providers across the voluntary carbon market. Readers were asked to nominate the leading service providers based on factors that included efficiency, reliability, innovation, quality of service provided, and influence on the market.
