Memberships and Endorsements
The two pillars of the DEV Carbon Standard are Systems Engineering and Open Data. This is why RTD Ratings (as a carbon offset certifier that works under the DEV Carbon Standard) is required by its auditors to be member of the world’s top engineering organizations, and to endorse and implement the most robust Open Data, transparency, and business responsibility principles.
United Nations Global Compact Principles
RTD Ratings has submitted its endorsement of the United Nations Global Compact Principles, in order to signal its commitment to upholding fundamental values in the areas of human rights, labor, environment, and anti-corruption. This endorsement demonstrates our alignment with a globally recognized framework for corporate sustainability and responsibility.
United Nations Global Compact Principles
RTD Ratings is the world's first open data carbon offset certifier. Endorsing the Open Data Charter underscores RTD Ratings' commitment to transparency and accessibility of data. Embracing open data principles promotes accountability and empowers our stakeholders to access and analyze information related to sustainability ratings, certifications, and carbon offsets. We firmly believe that all carbon offset projects should be open data projects.
Oxford Principles for Net Zero Carbon Offsetting
By endorsing the Oxford Principles for Net Zero Carbon Offsetting, RTD Ratings aligns itself with a comprehensive and scientifically grounded framework for carbon offsetting. This endorsement demonstrates our commitment to ensuring that carbon offset certifications adhere to robust principles that contribute meaningfully to global efforts to mitigate climate change. The four principles are: 1. Cut emissions, ensure the environmental integrity of credits used to achieve net zero, and regularly revise our offsetting strategy as best practice evolves.
2. Transition to carbon removal offsetting for any residual emissions by the global net zero target date.
3. Shift to removals with durable storage (low risk of reversal) to compensate any residual emissions by the net zero target.
4. Support the development of innovative and integrated approaches to achieving net zero.
International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE)
RTD Ratings is the first carbon offset certifier to make Systems Engineering the backbone of its value offer and quality standard. Joining INCOSE provides RTD Ratings with access to a global network of systems engineering professionals. This membership allows us to stay abreast of the latest developments and best practices in Systems Engineering, as well as to constantly iterate, and improve our advanced engineering models through peer-review, stress-testing, and joint-research.
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE)
The advanced engineering level behind the DEV Carbon Standard and RTD Ratings as a carbon offset certifier makes it essential for RTD Ratings to be part of the world's top engineering associations. Membership in IEEE offers RTD Ratings access to a diverse community of professionals involved in electrical and electronics engineering, as well as related fields such as Data Science and information technologies (IT). This membership provides valuable insights and expertise relevant to the development and implementation of our real-time data-driven sustainability certifications. Additionally, it offers opportunities for collaboration and interdisciplinary learning, strengthening the technical foundation of our initiatives and fostering innovation in sustainable solutions.
Association of Energy Engineers (AEE)
RTD Ratings' membership in the Association of Energy Engineers (AEE) offers access to collective expertise, and networking and collaboration opportunities within the energy sector. Collaborating with AEE fosters partnerships, and enables participation in industry discussions, amplifying the impact of RTD Ratings' sustainability initiatives.
Latin American Sustainable Development & Renewable Energy Association
Joining ALDESER aligns us with a community dedicated to advancing sustainable development and renewable energy in Latin America. Membership provides a platform to advocate for carbon neutrality and renewable energy adoption while staying informed about industry trends and best practices. Participating in ALDESER's initiatives allows us to contribute our expertise to collective efforts addressing environmental challenges and driving positive change in the region.
Mexican Technical Industrial Standard of DEV Carbon Offsets
RTD Ratings is compliant with a Technical Industrial Standard created in Mexico, which is the first national adaptation of the DEV Carbon Standard. This national adaptation was created by prestigious norms & standards agency NORMEX.

Our role in the DEV
Carbon Standard Ecosystem
Decentralized Environmental Verification (DEV) is a new environmental transparency model designed to provide accountability to sustainability projects and sustainability-related markets.
The first standard created under the DEV model is the DEV Carbon Standard. The carbon offsets sealed under the DEV Carbon Standard are based on engineering, not statistical inferences. The carbon offset certificate sealing system was designed using the state-of-the-art principles and standards for Systems Engineering, Systems Assurance, AI Ethics, and Open Data. The data of the carbon offset projects is validated, verified, and audited under the principles of some of the engineering standards and best practices observed and designed by NASA, NIST, INCOSE, NREL, and IEEE, among other organizations.
WAVEQUANTUM is the first Engineering Auditor of the DEV Carbon Ecosystem, a role that involves a crucial responsibility: we are in charge of the systems verification and data validation assurance so that every carbon offset certified under the DEV Carbon Standard holds and demonstrates the carbon reduction it embodies.

As defined by the DEV Carbon Standard, the Engineering Auditor grants the licenses for the key stakeholders involved in the carbon solution creation (such as the Project Integrators and the Solution Providers). Such licenses bring those key stakeholders under the DEV Audit System umbrella. Besides the role of Engineering Auditors, the DEV Audit System includes Compliance Auditors, MRV Auditors, and Legal & Financial Auditors. All this guarantees precision and compliance in each carbon solution, and facts and data behind every carbon offset sealed under the DEV Carbon Standard. Here is an example of such licenses:
Also, as Engineering Auditor in the DEV Carbon Ecosystem, WAVEQUANTUM is authorized to conduct a feasibility study that is a prerequisite of carbon offset generation (step 2 of the carbon offset certification process, as stated in the DEV Carbon Standard).
If you are a licensed Project Integrator or a Landowner that is already guided by a licensed Project Integrator, you can receive the instructions to book and pay for the Feasibility Study of your carbon capture or carbon avoidance project by reaching out to us at: audits@wavequantum.earth
Upon completion of the Feasibility Study a conclusions report is published, where WAVEQUANTUM will either grant or deny feasibility certification to the Carbon Solution. If denied, a company will receive guidelines and steps to follow required to attain certification. Here is an example of such certificates:
Also, the DEV Carbon Standard establishes that certain carbon solutions, such as those of the Offset Type 3.1 (Avoidance Offsets from clean energy projects) must become carbon neutral before they can start selling carbon offsets. Therefore, a thorough carbon footprint analysis is conducted, and once the Carbon Solution has inset its entire building and operations carbon footprint, WAVEQUANTUM issues a Carbon Neutrality Certificate. Here is an example of such certificates:
