We are proud to return as a Gold Sponsor of Carbon Markets Africa 2026, taking place from October 13-15 in Kigali, Rwanda.

The summit will bring together policymakers, investors, project developers, standards organizations and sustainability leaders to explore how Africa can unlock greater carbon market value through integrity, investment and impact.

As carbon markets across the continent continue to develop, trusted validation, verification and assurance will be essential to building confidence, attracting investment and ensuring that projects deliver credible climate and community outcomes.

Join us in Kigali to meet our experts and discuss how we can support high-integrity carbon projects, from greenhouse gas accounting and project validation to verification, assurance and capacity building.

Hear from our expert

On October 15 (Day 2), you can hear directly from our expert:

Opening debate: What Does High Integrity Really Mean?
8:55–9:40
Shikha Sharma, Global Technical Lead – Offsets and Removals, Climate Solutions, SGS

Shikha will join the opening debate to discuss what high integrity means in practice, and why robust governance, transparency, credible evidence and community benefits are critical to the future of carbon markets.

As Shikha notes in her interview with Carbon Markets Africa Summit, investors are no longer buying a good story; they are looking for evidence. Integrity must be built into carbon projects from day one.

Throughout the event, we will also have a dedicated table in the networking area where you can meet our team. Come say hello, learn more about our climate solutions and discover how we can help you build credible, investable and high-integrity carbon strategies.

We look forward to connecting in Kigali to explore how independent validation and verification underpin the credibility and integrity of Africa's carbon markets, enabling trusted climate action, long-term value, and sustainable development.
