France's Label Bas Carbone (LBC) scheme, launched in 2018, has certified over 600 forestry and agriculture projects by 2026. The programme underwent significant reforms in 2025 to align with the EU's Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and the Carbon Removals Certification Framework (CRCF). LBC credits, averaging €32 per tonne CO2e, are considered audit-ready for CSRD's ESRS E1 standard due to national oversight and a structured retirement mechanism. Notable projects include Reforest'Action, Terra Fertilis, France Valley's Carbon and Biodiversity Fund, ONF's reforestation portfolio, and France Carbon Agri Association.
