SODA Standard

• Ex‑post issuance. Units are minted only after the outcome has happened and an independent verifier has signed off. No forward promises, fewer headaches.

• Litigation‑Ready evidence (LRPDS). Every unit carries a complete, auditable dossier—method, data, calculations, verifier opinion, and notices—so claims hold up under scrutiny.

• Single‑claim registry. Once a unit backs a public claim, it’s locked to that claim to prevent re‑use. Traceable, transparent, done.

• Verification that auditors recognise. Independent verification follows ISO 14064‑3 style requirements—clear criteria, evidence, and an opinion you can reference.

• Disclosure‑ready. Designed to slot into climate and transition‑plan reporting (AASB/IFRS S2 and TPT‑style structure) with clean “residuals‑only” use.

• Claims that pass the pub test. Guidance aligns with the ACCC’s eight principles for trustworthy environmental claims.

• SODA Classes

 

Action lands better when it’s specific.

​

SODA has established SODA Classes to channel effort and capital toward a critical Earth system we all rely on - climate, nature, water, land, and nutrients - using one‑year, independently‑verified outcomes that are easy to compare and claim.

 

That’s the SODA way: prove first, claim once, keep it simple.
