AIIB Advances High-Integrity Carbon Management with FiO’s AI-Powered Carbon Credit Screening and Retirement 

Hong Kong, Feb 2026 — Following the 2025 Annual Meeting in Beijing, the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) announced the successful retirement of 3,091 tonnes of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) (Vintage 2023) in Gold Standard–certified carbon credits, offsetting emissions associated with the Meeting. The retirement was supported by FiO, which applied an AI-driven governance and risk-analytics framework to ensure that carbon credit selection, management, and disclosure followed a quality-first, integrity-driven logic aligned with leading institutional standards.

The retired credits were sourced from the Taishan Geothermal Central Heating System, a Gold Standard–registered geothermal project delivering Certified Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) impacts, including SDG 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy), SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth), and SDG 13 (Climate Action). The project reflects AIIB’s commitment to the use of high-quality, transparent, and disclosure-ready carbon credits, reinforcing the role of carbon markets as a credible tool for institutional climate action rather than a transactional offset mechanism.

As sustainability disclosure expectations continue to rise globally, institutions are increasingly evaluated not only on whether emissions are offset, but on how carbon credits are selected, governed, and reported. In this initiative, FiO supported AIIB by enabling structured evaluation of credit quality and project attributes, organizing impact and SDG information in a consistent and communications-ready format, and improving the usability of carbon credit data for sustainability reporting and external disclosures. This governance-led approach helps ensure that carbon credit retirement functions as part of a repeatable, auditable, and institution-ready climate management process, rather than a one-time action.

George Chu, Co-Founder and CEO of FiO, commented: “High-quality carbon credit retirement begins with disciplined selection logic and strong governance. Institutions suchas AIIB are setting a higher bar by prioritizing integrity, transparency, and long-term disclosure usability. FiO is proud to support this approach through AI-driven governance and risk analytics, helping ensure that retired credits stand up to regulatory expectations, sustainability reporting requirements, and stakeholder scrutiny.”

Solomon Chang, Co-Founder and CEO of ASJ, commented: “While strong governance and selection logic delivered by FiO are essential, institutional climate action ultimately requires reliable market access and high-quality execution, particularly for organizations such as AIIB. In this initiative, ASJ worked alongside FiO to support the market-side implementation and execution of AIIB’s carbon credit retirement, including transaction structuring, registry and retirement execution, and cross-border operational coordination.”

The geothermal project selected by AIIB combines Gold Standard certification, renewable energy-based emissions reductions, and verified SDG contributions, strengthening the credibility and completeness of AIIB’s sustainability narrative. The initiative illustrates a growing best practice among leading institutions: aligning carbon mitigation outcomes with broader sustainable development objectives, supported by robust governance frameworks and high-quality data.
