Carbon Management Services
Innovative solutions
In the agricultural sector, the main sources of emissions come from land use change and land management practices at the farm level. We have the knowledge and technical expertise to accelerate net-zero goals. With ECOM’s boots on the ground presence in over 40 countries, we offer a wide range of opportunities for reduction and removal projects.
ECOM accounts for GHG emissions and removals across its supply chain in alignment with the GHG Protocol, providing reliable estimation to clients and stakeholders.
Our Services
Supporting your climate journey
Sourcing low carbon commodities
Implementing interventions to achieve accountable reductions and removals aligned to GHG protocol requirements to achieve your climate goals
Carbon credits
Recognizing our role within the supply chain and the additional impact we can have on farmers and clients, ECOM has taken a step forward to generate, finance, and offer high quality carbon credits
Reductions and removals
Around one fourth of global emissions come from agriculture, forestry and other land use sectors. It involves intricate carbon flows, with both emissions and removals occurring on farms. At ECOM, we can measure these flows by offering solutions like carbon footprinting of the commodities we trade using our Green Meter calculators.
We collaborate on projects that enhance farm productivity and resilience through the development of carbon assets, optimizing carbon capture and minimizing emissions to support sustainable agricultural practices and contribute to a healthier environment. This is necessary to reach our climate goals and we do this by leveraging the skills of our SMS agronomists and field technicians.
Reductions
Why reductions? Around one fourth of global emissions come from the agriculture, forestry and other land use sector. To align with global climate goals and increase climate resiliency at the farm level, it is necessary to reduce as much emissions as possible.
ECOM offers many solutions to reduce emissions at the farm level. We have the expertise to quantify the impact of coffee, cocoa, and cotton and scale up interventions to reduce carbon emissions on-farm.
Removals
Why removals? Reducing emissions alone is not enough to reach our climate commitments. Removing carbon via natural based solutions is an essential part of reaching science based targets.
ECOM provides both on-farm and off-farm projects to accelerate the carbon interventions necessary to reach net zero emissions by leveraging the skills of our 1500+ SMS agronomists and field technicians.

ECOM's Carbon Calculator
Green Meter: ECOM's calculator assesses supply chain emissions from farm to port
We can collect primary data and implement practices to help reduce carbon emissions at farm level while using Green Meter to monitor the impact and bring value to the producers.
What is Green Meter?
• ECOM developed Green Meter as a tool to capture the complex flows of carbon and give a product carbon footprint per project, per country, and for commodities (cocoa, coffee, and cotton) aligned with the reporting standards of GHG protocol.
• The tool can estimate carbon emissions and removals and take data from farms, cooperatives and processing facilities.
What results does Green Meter provide?
• Carbon footprint for a client’s supply chain per origin.
• Total emissions and product carbon footprint per farm, across a sample and for the total project scope.
• Breakdown of results per emission category and into archetypes ensures targeting the most impactful sections and tracking interventions progress.
What role does ECOM have
in Carbon credits?
We focus on natural climate solutions such as REDD (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation), reforestation, agroforestry, and agricultural land management, alongside biochar production and community-based projects such as cookstoves and water sanitation. ECOM is committed to driving positive environmental change while fostering positive impact on project stakeholders.
