The Integrity Standard
Proven before promoted.
A written group nature-integrity standard governs every project before capital, not after. It is owned by the Natural Capital Task Force — which does not invest — so the body that sets the gate is never the body that wants through it.
Clauses — non-waivable
No project is marketed as core until it is legally clear.
- 01
Free, prior and informed consent.
- 02
Community benefit-sharing, written and audited.
- 03
Biodiversity baselines before intervention.
- 04
Third-party measurement, reporting and verification.
- 05
No-go criteria that cannot be waived.
Tenure, carbon rights, benefit-sharing and permanence, proven before promotion.
The gate
The body that sets the standard does not invest.
Eligibility gating, free prior and informed consent, safeguards and independent verification triggers sit with the Integrity, MRV & Safeguards Committee, structurally separated from the Investment Committee that decides investability. Drawdowns are released against verified milestones, so measurement is a condition of money rather than a report about it.
Frameworks
Regulation, treated as architecture rather than paperwork.
Cross-section, off-centre heartwood
01
IFC Performance Standards
An environmental and social management system aligned to the eight Performance Standards — the rulebook development-finance institutions and Equator Principles banks underwrite against. Environmental and social risk is assessed before investment and monitored throughout the hold.
02
EU SFDR & Taxonomy
Designed to the Article 9 threshold and EU Taxonomy alignment, with fund-naming thresholds in view, so the platform remains investable under the disclosure regime through its reform rather than in spite of it.
03
EUDR-native traceability
Plot-level geolocation and due-diligence statements built in at origin from inception. Cocoa falls in scope for large operators from 30 December 2026; commodities currently outside scope are built to the same standard anyway, so an extension of scope is a non-event rather than a crisis.
04
TNFD & measurement
Digital measurement, reporting and verification aligned to the TNFD’s LEAP assessment process, with biodiversity baselines established before intervention rather than reconstructed afterwards.
05
Carbon integrity
Carbon is underwritten conservatively and only where eligible, with buffer provisions held and financing drawdowns tied to verified milestones. Where the measurement does not support the claim, the claim is not made.
The evidence base
The only figures we publish are other people’s.
Regenera’s own projections are shared under NDA with counterparties who can test them. What follows is third-party, sourced and checkable — the market context the platform is built against.
