Sentinel Earth

What Sentinel Earth does

Sentinel Earth AG is a Swiss-domiciled (Zug, Cham) climate action and environmental markets firm that invests in and co-develops climate projects from ideation through commercialization while providing advisory services to organizations with decarbonization strategies. The company's service portfolio spans five areas: end-to-end climate project investment and development, evaluation of strategies and projects for eligibility under emission crediting schemes (VCM, EU-ETS, RECs, I-RECs, GoOs), Scope 1/2/3 and Life Cycle Assessment carbon footprint work, curated sourcing of carbon credits and Environmental Attribute Certificates, and continuous environmental markets research tracking policy, standards, and pricing developments. Sentinel Earth conducts rigorous due diligence on project eligibility, additionality, and integrity before integrating into projects, and where capital is required it provides funding against defined milestones. No proprietary technology platform is disclosed; the offering is human-advisory-led rather than technology-led.

The firm operates from three locations — Switzerland (headquarters), UAE/Dubai (regional hub at DMCC Business Centre), and Morocco/Rabat (listed as forthcoming) — and sells exclusively through direct, email-based engagement with no resellers or third-party distribution. Customer segments are horizontal and split between organizations seeking decarbonization roadmaps and asset sourcing, and project developers seeking financing and commercialization support. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company is privately held by three co-founders (Wassim Sahibi, CEO; Thierry Bolle-Picard, CCO; Guerman Vladimirov, COO), with seven identified employees, no disclosed external funding, no revenue figures, and no named customers. Revenue mechanics combine professional services fees with transaction-based income from project development and environmental asset sourcing.

Emerging players

• Sylvera: Carbon credit ratings and analytics provider supporting corporate offset procurement decisions. Comparable to Sentinel Earth's research and integrity diligence offering, but with a proprietary data moat.
• Pachama: Technology-led carbon credit marketplace using satellite and ML-based project verification. Comparable as a high-integrity carbon sourcing channel that competes with Sentinel Earth's asset sourcing stream.
• Patch: API platform for embedding carbon credit purchasing into digital products. Comparable to Sentinel Earth's asset sourcing and brokerage services for enterprise clients, delivered via a tech-led model.
• BeZero: Carbon credit ratings agency providing independent risk assessments on offset projects. Comparable to Sentinel Earth's additionality and integrity diligence, applied at market scale through ratings.
• Allied Carbon: Asia-based carbon project developer and credit originator. Comparable to Sentinel Earth's project development and origination activities, particularly in emerging Asian markets.

Direct peers

• South Pole Group: Global carbon advisory and project developer covering voluntary and compliance markets, Scope 1-3 accounting, and offset origination. Directly comparable to Sentinel Earth's combined advisory-plus-project-development offering, though at materially larger scale.
• Climate Neutral Group (CNG): Dutch-based carbon advisory and brokerage specializing in voluntary carbon credits, RECs, and corporate climate strategy. Highly comparable to Sentinel Earth's asset sourcing and advisory business lines.
• Carbonbay: Carbon project developer and advisory focused on origination and commercialization of high-integrity credits. Closely comparable to Sentinel Earth's end-to-end project development model.

Broad incumbents

• Verra: Operator of the VCS carbon standard, which underpins the majority of voluntary carbon credits. Adjacent but thematically central to Sentinel Earth's project development and scheme evaluation work.
• Carbon Trust: Large, established sustainability advisory providing carbon footprinting, target setting, and certification. A broader incumbent that overlaps with Sentinel Earth's advisory and corporate decarbonization services.
