Verifiable-impact soil carbon credits from European regenerative agriculture
Arka is an independent nature-based credit marketplace. 452 Gold Standard farms, spot and offtake volumes, CSRD reporting support.
Where you are on the journey
Three journeys we often encounter.
Consolidate your supply
Reliable volume, strong certifications, a partner who knows soil carbon. Gold Standard programme of 452 farms and 266,000+ tCO₂e, flexible spot and offtake terms.
Find the right credits for your strategy
Removal or avoidance, nature-based or engineered: you're comparing categories. Our selection is structured around the reference integrity frameworks (ICVCM's CCP, SBTi's BVCM, VCMI's Claims Code).
Start with tangible-impact credits
Regenerative agriculture is one of the most legible categories: identifiable farms, measurable soil impact, complete documentation. We guide you from the first call to the first report.
Why regenerative agriculture is gaining momentum
Toward the most comprehensive integrity frameworks
GS 402.3, the methodology behind Gaiago's soil carbon programme, is under review for the ICVCM's Core Carbon Principles and for the EU's CRCF. A clear trajectory toward the most demanding integrity standards.
ESRS E1-7 expects detailed documentation
If you use carbon credits, CSRD requires structured reporting: type, methodology, geography, permanence. Soil credits provide that level of detail farm-by-farm.
Soil carbon is no longer a niche
The global soil carbon credit market exceeded 800,000 tCO₂e in 2025. An asset class that's structuring fast.
A partnership, not a transaction
Carbon contribution is no longer a one-off purchase: it's a multi-year path tied to your climate strategy. Choosing guidance means continuity of advice, coherence of decisions, and strength of documentation over time.
How we move forward together
Our work starts with listening. Every climate journey is unique, every organization has its own constraints and ambitions.
- 1
We listen to your context
Where are you in your climate journey? What are your obligations (CSRD, SBTi, voluntary)? What are your timing and budget constraints? A first 30-minute conversation to understand your situation, no commitment.

We propose a considered selection
Targeted selection of regenerative agriculture projects. For each: location, methodology, volumes, co-benefits, certification documentation.
- 3
You decide, we orchestrate
Spot purchase or multi-year offtake, your call based on your strategy. We handle contracting, credit retirement in public registries, and documentation of every transaction. Standardised contracts, serial numbers, and retirement proofs provided.
- 4
Your reporting is ready
You leave with a complete documentation pack for your sustainability report: breakdown by standard, project type, geography, retirement proofs, VCMI claims wording for your communication. Everything is audit-ready.
What connects us to you
Independence
Arka owns no projects, holds no inventory, manages no fund. Our only interest is that your contribution is as right as it can be. Our independence is your guarantee of aligned advice.
Rigorous analysis
Every project is assessed against recognised criteria: additionality, permanence, quantification, co-benefits, governance. We share your integrity standards, and the same transparency on strengths as on limits.
Traceability
Every tonne is traced, from project to public registry, from retirement to your balance sheet. Serial numbers, retirement proofs, registry screenshots: everything is documented and shared systematically.
Rooted in European agriculture
All our farms are in France and Europe. Proximity that makes your contribution verifiable on the ground.
The reference frameworks
BVCM | Beyond Value Chain Mitigation
Science Based Targets initiative
SBTi's BVCM framework recognizes that credible climate leadership goes beyond internal reduction. It encourages companies to fund, today, climate projects outside their value chain, complementing, never replacing, their SBTi pathway.
Core Carbon Principles
Integrity Council for the Voluntary Carbon Market
The 10 ICVCM Core Carbon Principles set the minimum integrity threshold expected of a carbon credit: additionality, permanence, robust quantification, no double counting, co-benefits. We structure our selection around this framework and prioritise methodologies already CCP-approved or currently under ICVCM assessment.
Claims Code of Practice
Voluntary Carbon Markets Integrity Initiative
The VCMI Claims Code defines how to communicate credibly on the use of carbon credits. We document every contribution so you can make defensible claims (Silver, Gold, or Platinum) without greenwashing risk.
