CUSIP Global Services Launches Voluntary Carbon Market CUSIP Request Mechanism for Registries, Onboards EcoRegistry
Integration Supports Transparent Entity Identification and Verification of Global Voluntary Carbon Market Projects
NORWALK, Conn., Feb. 26, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CUSIP Global Services (CGS) today announced the launch of a direct request mechanism enabling individual voluntary carbon market (VCM) registries to request CUSIPs for carbon credits. EcoRegistry, a leading registration platform for environmental assets, has become the first to integrate the VCM CUSIP request process allowing all VCM projects listed on its platform to be linked to a CUSIP.
This direct integration of VCM CUSIPs improves the transparency, interoperability and traceability of VCM carbon credits throughout their lifecycles. The initiative builds on CGS’ alliance with BeZero Carbon, the independent carbon ratings agency, to create unique identifiers for carbon credits.
These VCM CUSIPs operate in a similar fashion to the nine-character, alphanumeric CUSIP security identifiers that capture the unique attributes relevant for financial securities. Now, through a direct integration to the CUSIP request mechanism, VCM projects listed on EcoRegistry will be able to request VCM CUSIPs for their carbon credit initiatives.
“The foundation of every financial transaction, whether it is a stock sale, a bond issue or a carbon credit, is being able to accurately, consistently and instantly identify the underlying asset and its core structure. We deliver that standardized transparency to global financial markets every day, and we are honored to share that expertise with VCM participants,” said Darren Purcell, CGS Regional Head – EMEA. “By incorporating VCM CUSIPs into the core registration workflow, EcoRegistry is helping to set a new standard for transparency and institutional rigor in the VCM ecosystem.”
“Interoperability is the key that unlocks true transparency,” said Juan Dura, CEO, EcoRegistry. “By working together with CGS, we are bridging the critical gap between environmental assets and global financial markets, making it possible to verify, track and validate VCM projects with the same robust infrastructure and end-to-end traceability used in traditional securities markets.”
