Xpansiv Connect-Gold Standard Registry Integration to Automate Trade Settlement and Streamline Portfolio Management of VER and CORSIA EEU Credits

• Linkage will ensure same-day settlement of Gold Standard credit trades on Xpansiv’s CBL spot exchange, including units deliverable into the CBL CORSIA CP1 standardized contract
• Integration will enable the automatic display of CORSIA and other Gold Standard registry tags in the Xpansiv Connect™ portfolio management system
• Gold Standard customers will be able to manage positions alongside their holdings on 15 other registries integrated with Xpansiv Connect

GENEVA, NEW YORK, LONDON, SYDNEY — Xpansiv, the leading infrastructure provider for the global energy transition markets, today announced plans to integrate its Xpansiv Connect portfolio management system with the Gold Standard Impact Registry. The envisioned linkage will support automated and secure trade settlement, streamline portfolio management, and deliver additional benefits to carbon market participants.

The agreement follows work by Gold Standard to update its requirements to ensure projects continue to represent the highest integrity and are eligible across voluntary and compliance markets, including those established under the Paris Agreement and CORSIA frameworks as well as carbon tax regimes globally.

“By reducing friction and harnessing technology, solutions like this make it easier for much needed finance to be channeled to projects delivering benefits for the climate, nature and people across the world,” said Margaret Kim, CEO, Gold Standard.

“Our initiative with Gold Standard reflects both organizations’ commitment to streamlining operations, ensuring universal access to high-integrity carbon credits, and driving the evolution and large-scale adoption of environmental commodity markets, which is essential to achieve a successful global energy transition,” said John Melby, CEO, Xpansiv.

Xpansiv Connect is the preeminent portfolio management system in the environmental commodity markets. It is currently integrated with 15 leading carbon, renewable energy, and recycled material registries and used to transfer approximately one billion assets annually. It is a central component of Xpansiv’s end-to-end technology infrastructure, which supports proprietary and third-party registries, exchanges, and other environmental commodity market platforms and solutions.

“The integration of Gold Standard into Xpansiv Connect marks a strategic milestone for the JSE Voluntary Carbon Market, which was launched in collaboration with Xpansiv. This integration aligns the market with global standards, enabling streamlined access for our customers to one of the approved registries for the South African carbon tax offsets regime and enhances trade execution and portfolio management,” said Valdene Reddy, Director of Capital Markets at the JSE. “This next step reaffirms the JSE’s commitment to supporting the market in meeting net-zero targets, unlocking sustainable value, and contributing to a resilient, low-carbon economy.”

“We welcome this important integration to improve automated trade settlement and lifecycle management for our high-integrity technology and nature-based carbon credits on Gold Standard,” said Dr. Storm Patel, Commercial Director, The African Cookstove Company (TASC). “This initiative supports our commitment to giving our projects exposure to a wide-reaching number of buyers for voluntary and compliance purchases such as Article 6 and CORSIA.”
