Impact Units

Traceable certificates that can move through your supply chain. Each Impact Unit represents a 1 tCO₂e verified reduction from fertilizer practices you’re connected to.

How?

science-backed methodologies

Built for, and with, fertilizer producers, food companies, traders

For Food and Ingredient Companies

Scope 3 targets don’t meet themselves. Start with the biggest lever in crops — fertilizer emissions — and turn reductions into certified results you can report.

For Commodity Traders & Cooperatives

You connect farmers with global markets. Impact Units demonstrate verified Scope 3 reductions that build buyer confidence.

For Fertilizer Producers and distibutors

You built the better product. Now prove the impact. With Proba, your low-emission fertilizers come with verifiable reductions — so food companies and traders can use them in Scope 3 reporting.

For Partners & Project Developers

Not a fertilizer producer, trader, or food company? If you’re developing, financing, or supporting agri-food interventions, Proba can help you turn impact into verified result.
