Agreena earns MSCI ‘A’ rating for its flagship carbon project, further cementing global leadership in verified soil carbon

• Recognition follows Verra verification and issuance of 2.3 million high-quality carbon credits

Copenhagen, Denmark; 18 November 2025: Agreena’s flagship soil carbon programme, the AgreenaCarbon Project (VCS 4022), has been awarded an ‘A’ rating by MSCI Carbon Project ratings, giving corporate voluntary carbon market (VCM) buyers added confidence in the quality, integrity, and scalability of its carbon credits. 

MSCI Carbon Project Ratings are composite scores that evaluate the integrity of carbon credit projects through in-depth, project-specific assessments. MSCI’s frameworks build on key initiatives, such as the Integrity Council for the Voluntary Carbon Market’s (ICVCM) Core Carbon Principles, with each project assessed against six main criteria: additionality, quantification, permanence, co-benefits, legal and ethical risk, and delivery risk.

Using this rigorous methodology, MSCI assigns an industry-relative letter rating from AAA to CCC, where higher ratings reflect stronger integrity and lower risk exposure, helping stakeholders identify leaders in managing ESG risks and opportunities compared to their peers. The AgreenaCarbon Project received an ‘A’ rating, which is the joint highest score achieved by any of the 19 agricultural land management projects assessed to date. Only 10% of all rated 4,000+ projects thus far have achieved an A or higher, and Agreena is one of five ALM projects to earn this top rating, underscoring its strong integrity. 

The announcement follows the AgreenaCarbon Project’s Verra Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) verification in September, which saw 2.3 million carbon credits issued across 1.6 million hectares of regeneratively farmed land spanning 10 European countries. By meeting VM0042 Improved Agricultural Land Management v2.0 methodology, Agreena became the first large-scale arable agriculture project in the world to earn this distinction.

“This MSCI ‘A’ rating builds on the recent Verra verification and demonstrates the strength of Agreena’s approach - combining scientific rigour, transparency, and real-world impact,” said Frederik Aagaard, Chief Commercial Officer at Agreena. “Independent validation from leading global institutions helps corporate buyers act with confidence, knowing their investment in soil carbon delivers measurable, trustworthy climate outcomes that stand up to scrutiny.”

MSCI Carbon Project Ratings provide independent, investment-grade assessments of integrity and risk for more than 4,000 projects in the global carbon credit market. The evaluation considers climate, environmental, and societal impacts, as well as legal and ethical risks such as financial crime, fraud, and sanctions.
