This is the Sustainacraft Inc. newsletter. This time, as a Monthly Methodology Update, we will primarily cover topics related to the VCS Methodology revisions announced in April 2023.

Product Release Announcement

Before diving into this month's topics, please allow us to make a product release announcement.

While we have previously provided detailed analytical reports for nature-based carbon credit projects, the new platform we are launching aims to bring high transparency to the Voluntary Carbon Market by offering project-specific quality analysis and corporate Retirement analysis, and by providing a space for Project Developers and investors to communicate interactively.

For more details, please refer to [our press release](https://prtimes.jp/main/html/rd/p/000000009.000097343.html). Further information and demo requests can be made via [our website](https://www.sustainacraft.com/contact/).

Additionally, in conjunction with the service launch, we will be holding a webinar to explain recent trends in the Voluntary Carbon Credit market and methodologies, as well as an overview of our service and use cases.
