The Government of Canada has launched CATS, a digital platform administering the federal Greenhouse Gas Offset Credit System under the Output‑Based Pricing System. It offers a public registry, project registration tools and a transparent tracking system for offset credits.
At Viresco, we view this as a strong signal:
-Digital systems are increasingly central to offset programme integrity.
-Compliance, voluntary and value-chain credits are now traceable via standardised national infrastructure.
-Organisations with robust data, governance and process readiness will be advantaged.
🔍 What you should think about
-Review your offset or credit-purchase strategy against CATS-eligibility.
-Ensure your project or value-chain interventions align with federally regulated protocols.
-Prepare for increased expectations around transparency, tracking, and claims.
