Saudi national VVB candidate

Renewable Vision Assurance is being engineered to satisfy GCOM VVB Criteria, Standards, and Procedures end to end, plus ISO 14065 and ISO 17029 systems. Formal accreditation is granted by the DNA only.

Service portfolio

Six structured services. From project intake to credit issuance.

Every service has a fixed scope, a defined deliverable list, and a transparent price band. All deliverables are produced in audit-grade Arabic and English, version-stamped, and source-linked.

Interactive client journey

From project idea to issued credit.

Ten stages. Each stage is a deliverable we produce, a checkpoint we evidence, or a hand-off we coordinate with a DNA-accredited VVB.

1
Intake

Client enters project data and uploads ownership evidence.

2
Methodology match

Platform recommends applicable GCOM methodology (M1 to M5) and required data.

3
Readiness score

Platform identifies missing items before formal validation.

4
PDD builder

Platform generates a structured PDD draft and evidence index.

5
MRV setup

Monitoring plan, meter registry, calibration tracker, QA/QC log.

6
Validation package

Platform exports a validation-ready package for a DNA-accredited VVB.

7
Monitoring cycle

Client uploads metered data and supporting documents.

8
Verification package

Verification-ready monitoring report and evidence pack.

9
Issuance pathway

Project proceeds through DNA approval and credit issuance.

10
Monetisation

Credits routed to domestic or international buyers, subject to eligibility.

Independence architecture

Two entities. One firewall. Zero conflicts of interest.

GCOM Criteria section 1.1.2 prohibits the same body from performing both validation and verification of the same project. Renewable Vision goes further: advisory and assurance are structurally separated from day one.

Entity A

Renewable Vision Carbon Advisory

Project preparation, PDD support, MRV data room operation, client advisory, buyer routing, monetisation support.

Entity B

Renewable Vision Assurance

Independent validation and verification body candidate, subject to accreditation. Separate management, separate document repository, separate engagement records.

The advisory entity cannot validate or verify its own advisory work. Conflict-of-interest rules are encoded in the business model and enforced by the Conflict-of-Interest Firewall below.

Conflict-of-interest firewall
Separate staff

Assurance personnel cannot work on the same project as advisory personnel.

Separate reporting line

Advisory reports to MD Carbon Advisory. Assurance reports to MD Assurance and the independent impartiality committee.

Separate document access

Distinct repositories with role-based access. Cross-access logged and audited.

Separate client engagement records

No shared CRM. Each engagement filed under its entity.

Independent review committee

Impartiality committee per GCOM Standards section 3.5.

Restricted project assignment

Auto-block if an advisory engagement exists on the same project.

Automated conflict screening

Run before any assurance engagement is accepted.

Declaration before engagement

Signed conflict-of-interest declaration before any validation or verification.

VVB Accreditation Readiness Simulator

Seven structured tabs mapped to GCOM Criteria, Standards, and Procedures. Eligibility, impartiality, quality system, human resources, sectoral scopes, accreditation process, and the separation model. A live 0 to 100 readiness score rolls up across all seven tabs. This simulator tracks Renewable Vision's own path. It is not a self-accreditation.

Why a Saudi national assurance platform matters

A Saudi technical layer between project owners, GCOM, accredited VVBs, and credit buyers.

Saudi Arabia's carbon market needs local capability that understands national projects, Arabic and English documentation, GCOM procedures, Saudi industrial context, renewable energy project structures, local grid data, and stakeholder expectations.

Local Saudi context

We understand the regulatory, financial, and operational environment of Saudi project owners. NEOM, Aramco, ACWA, SEC, MEWA, MoEnergy.

Bilingual documentation

All deliverables produced in audit-grade Arabic and English. PDD, monitoring reports, validation files, verification packages.

Digital MRV evidence collection

A purpose-built data room with meter registry, calibration tracker, QA/QC log, and audit trail, all version-stamped and source-linked.

Faster project preparation for VVB review

We pre-empt VVB findings by running the validation-readiness checklist before the engagement starts. Less rework, less calendar time.

Operating dashboards

Pipeline, evidence completeness, independence control.

Legal and credibility disclaimers

Five canonical rules.

  1. Renewable Vision is not presented as a DNA-accredited VVB unless formal accreditation has been obtained.
  2. Renewable Vision may support project preparation, MRV evidence management, and coordination with accredited VVBs.
  3. Validation and verification opinions must be issued only by DNA-accredited VVBs.
  4. Any future Renewable Vision assurance activity must comply with GCOM criteria, sectoral scope accreditation, impartiality, conflict-of-interest, and quality management requirements.
  5. A project supported by Renewable Vision Advisory should not be validated or verified by the same legal or operational unit unless conflict-of-interest rules are fully satisfied and permitted by GCOM.
