At Evident, we are passionate about the future of the planet. That is why, over 20 years ago, our founders were instrumental in establishing the first markets for Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs). These markets set the framework for renewable energy being bought and sold with trust around the world. With negative impacts of climate change becoming ever more apparent, we believe that the transition to the Clean Economy has never been more important.

Enabling the development of sustainable energy and other parts of the Clean Economy is essential if we are to reach global climate targets and ensure the health of generations to come.

As governments and organisations increasingly make NetZero claims, it is essential that the claims they make are valid and verified. We work with a wide variety of partners, including governments, NGOs, small businesses, and global MNCs, helping them make the transition to a Clean Economy.

Certifying claims through both software and human-led fact-checking gives businesses, organisations, and consumers confidence to buy, sell, and consume.

According to IEA’s 2023 report, global annual renewable capacity additions increased by almost 50% to nearly 510 GW in 2023. It is therefore, essential that sustainable energy sources continue to grow in development and demand. I-RECs confirm the credibility of such power generation and help to drive the transition to the Clean Economy, giving consumers confidence as demand grows.

We make sure businesses can certify their commitment to NetZero through the clean energy they produce, trade, or consume. From micro-enterprises to many of the world’s largest corporations, our certification services are trusted by thousands of organisations, particularly for meeting commitments to RE100 and reporting under the Greenhouse Gas Protocol.
