Certification to Gold Standard enables projects to maximise impact, participate in multiple markets and schemes and ensure the highest levels of integrity to create the most value for the project and its communities.
A higher Standard to maximise the impact, credibility, and value of your project
Gold Standard for the Global Goals enables developers to design projects for maximum positive impact and quantify outcomes toward climate security and sustainable development in the most credible way. To date, our standard has been used by over 500 project developers to design more than 3400 projects in over 100 countries across the world.
With an international reputation for high quality, Gold Standard carbon credits are purchased by major companies and institutions and are eligible in a growing number of compliance systems globally. Meanwhile Gold Standard verified impact statements are used by investors to reduce risk and ensure funds invested are delivering credible and meaningful results.
