Turning carbon action into lasting community impact
N50 Impact (N50) is a comprehensive platform dedicated to sustainability and carbon credit development. Our mission is to accelerate climate action by enabling high-integrity carbon solutions that deliver both environmental and social value. Our unique Sustainability & Impact Lifecycle Certification (SILC) framework to oversee the entire lifecycle of carbon projects—from inception and certification to market access and monetization, ensuring transparency, legitimacy, and measurable results at every stage.
A vision for the future
The N50 model represents a strategic shift towards distributed, regenerative finance designed to create a legacy that will last for generations.
Our inclusive approach empowers farmers to adopt resilient practices, enables women to lead cooperatives, and mobilizes youth as environmental innovators and monitors. We are driving behavioral change and community-led climate innovation at scale.
Commitment to human dignity
Our work is rooted in human dignity.
We prioritize community voices in our reporting, highlighting the stories of those driving change on the frontlines. We believe in impact before profit. Impact that is positive for people, the planet and driven by a strong sense of purpose that will last for generations to come. With N50, carbon finance becomes a force for equity, accountability, and regeneration.
Our certification system
At the heart of our operations is the SILC platform, which complies with ISO 14064-2/3 standards.
This next-generation framework issues secure, independently verified Carbon Funding Commitments (CFCs). Each CFC corresponds to one metric ton of certified CO₂e reductions or removals, recorded in a secure registry to guarantee traceability and prevent duplication. Our system integrates with leading emissions tracking platforms, such as CDX, e-GGRT, and the EU-ETS, ensuring global compatibility. These tools provide upfront capital to project developers through performance-linked financing, ensuring the delivery of high-integrity carbon credits. This approach addresses early-stage financing gaps, mitigates investment risks, and unlocks the necessary capital to scale impactful climate solutions.
Innovative verification model
Our SEI verification model challenges traditional top-down auditing methods.
We empower communities to collect, submit, and manage their own data, utilizing geo-tagged evidence, 360° feedback, and on-the-ground reporting to validate project outcomes. This participatory approach fosters trust, reduces costs, and enables scalability without compromising rigor.
Expanding our reach
Through strategic partnerships, we broaden our impact by leveraging AI-powered microgrants to support emerging, mission-driven groups with immediate funding, mentorship, and pathways to certification.
These initiatives activate informal climate actors and integrate them into the formal carbon economy.
Global ambitions
Our future vision is both global and ambitious.
We aim to expand our SEI system into regions with the greatest need—underserved areas in the U.S. and across Sub-Saharan Africa, South and Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Southeastern Europe. Concurrently, we are investing in digital tools like real-time Social Return on Investment (SROI) dashboards to help stakeholders measure impact with clarity and precision.
What Makes Our Credits Different
Beyond carbon reduction
N50’s vision extends beyond mere carbon reduction; we view carbon finance as a catalyst for social transformation.
Our projects prioritize socioeconomic equity and community empowerment. By partnering with mission-driven organizations, Indigenous groups, and underserved communities, we co-create initiatives that yield both verifiable emissions reductions and significant social impact.
Socioeconomic impact assessment
Central to our strategy is the Socioeconomic Impact Assessment (SEI), a robust methodology that measures social progress alongside environmental outcomes.
All N50 projects must define, implement, and report on tangible social benefits—such as enhanced health, education, income, or local employment. These outcomes are validated through field-level evidence, creating a unified accountability system that adheres to ESG standards and aligns with Scope 3 reporting frameworks.
Empowering communities
We are committed to building a global ecosystem where climate capital is accessible, inclusive, and community-driven.
Our infrastructure supports grassroots communities not just as recipients, but as certified carbon credit producers. We equip local leaders with the tools, training, and systems necessary to engage in the entire carbon value chain. This includes access to our Knowledge and Impact hub, Sustainability jobs board, and a mobile-first engagement model led by Reluv Youth Ambassadors.
Co-benefits of our work
Our initiatives extend beyond carbon.
We design and track projects that restore watersheds, regenerate soil, improve air quality, and protect biodiversity—all while advancing Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) such as Good Health, Gender Equality, Clean Water, and Climate Action.
