Integrity

The monitoring report shows Control Union Malaysia as the verifier and says there were no material findings or corrective actions, which supports some procedural integrity. But the extracted record does not state any additionality test or VVB-confirmed additionality, and permanence is weakly evidenced because reversal events are marked as not addressed and no buffer pool is reported. Leakage is also not quantified, so the project’s net climate integrity remains uncertain.

Transparency

Transparency is moderate because the project has a named VVB, a clear monitoring period, and a recent monitoring report dated 2024-04-06. However, the record does not provide total claimed versus verified emission reductions, and key MRV elements such as usage monitoring and FNRB treatment are not stated. That leaves the public audit trail incomplete.

Claim Safety

Claim safety is mixed. CCP approval is a positive signal, but the project is not CORSIA-eligible and the baseline is only described as project-based rather than a clearly standardized or recently reassessed baseline. With leakage, usage rates, and FNRB values all missing, the risk of over-crediting or overstated climate claims remains material.

Documentation

Documentation quality is fair because the extracted record draws from a PDD, validation report, and monitoring report, and extraction confidence is high. Even so, several core items are not stated in available documents, including additionality testing, leakage treatment, buffer pool coverage, and safeguard measures. The absence of FPIC, grievance mechanism, and benefit-sharing documentation further weakens the file.

Overall

Overall, the project looks procedurally documented but substantively under-evidenced on the main quality drivers for soil carbon credits. There are no contradictions listed in the extracted record, so no document hierarchy issue needed to be resolved; however, the absence of quantified issuance and permanence data still weighs heavily on confidence. The score is held down by missing additionality, leakage, and reversal information, even though the VVB and CCP approval provide some support.
