Don't trust the certifier : trust the data!
Welcome to the world’s first open data sustainability ratings, certifications and carbon offsets: RTD (Real Time Data) Ratings.
Restoring trust in "sustainability"
RTD Ratings World in real life
Restoring trust in “sustainability” is only possible with more real-time data from real-world solutions. Our societies, companies and markets need more open, validated, verifiable, real-time and near-real time data backing up sustainability claims and reports. Greenwashing is a waste of everyone’s time and resources, and it literally means betting against our future. Looking for answers about what “sustainable” meant, we found a way to measure it. Looking for success stories, we found a way to rate them so the markets can scale them up. Welcome to the world’s first open data sustainability ratings, certifications and carbon offsets: RTD (Real Time Data) Ratings.Less words, more engineering, less statistical inferences, more open data: this is how we measure real world solutions so the markets can catapult them to the global scale.
In the Carbon Certifications section you can find carbon solutions that are validated, verified, and certified by engineering companies, under the Systems Engineering, Systems Assurance, and Data Assurance standards set by NASA, INCOSE, NIST, NREL, and IEEE. But most importantly, you can verify them as well, since all the data used to certify every offset is open to the public.
From now on, when buying a carbon offset, don’t trust the certifier: trust the data!
In the Sustainability Ratings section you will discover sustainability ratings that bring verifiable transparency to sustainability data across industries. In data we trust.
Discover the world’s first carbon registry of open data carbon offsets.
These open data carbon offsets abide by the rules of the DEV Carbon Standard. DEV stands for Decentralized Environmental Verification, which means making all humans potential auditors of the data behind carbon offsets.
Anyone can help verify the reality, relevance, and measurable impact of the carbon offsets by seeing directly the data coming from the project in real time (RTD), near real time (NRTD), or a high-frequency data feed.

Our Key Stakeholders
The Stewards & Auditors
Companies that are approved by the Engineering Auditors to independently audit the Project Integrators and their carbon solutions on two levels:
(1) the application and observance of: (a) the DEV Carbon Standard, (b) the DEV Carbon Standard Methodology, and (c) The DEV Carbon Standard Scientific, Technical, and Engineering Framework; and
(2) the compliance with applicable local carbon offset regulations. Their compliance audit occurs at any time between the
beginning of the Feasibility Study and the first six months of offset certification.
These are specialized legal, financial and
fiscal compliance firms that are approved by the Certifiers to audit the
administrative, financial, legal, and fiscal aspects of a carbon project. Their audits are assigned at entirely random times with a maximum frequency of one audit per carbon project every 12 months. Resulting scores and recommendations by these
auditors will be immediately shared by the special auditor to both the audited
Project Integrator and the relevant Certifier, giving the opportunity to the Project Integrator to immediately correct whatever was identified as unclear or non-compliant. Failure to correct any important aspect identified in the special audit without justification, would cause the Certifier to put offset certification on hold until the pending correction is complete.

Sustainability Ratings
RTD Ratings has developed several sustainability ratings. Some ratings are industry-specific, others are issue-specific, and others are company-specific.
Soon you will be able to verify the facts behind green technologies, industries, companies, and projects, as well as behind global environmental challenges.
The global water crisis is not only about water availability, but also about water quality. This rating showcases the water quality of water bodies around the world.
Hydrogen Technologies have an incredible potential to reduce the carbon footprint. This rating focuses on identifying the true degree up to these technologies are sustainable.
The mailing industry is rapidly evolving towards more efficient and sustainable practices. This industry-specific rating tracks this evolution.
The aviation industry's greenhouse gas emissions make it a key player in the fight against climate change. This rating tracks the sustainability policies and actions of aviation companies.
