Corporate Climate Stewardship Guidelines

PUBLISHED 13 May 2018

PARTNERS

Companies looking to take climate action are advised to start with the right strategy. Gold Standard worked with WWF and CDP to develop Corporate Climate Stewardship: Guidelines for best practice climate action to support companies in setting ambitious strategies that are in line with the ambition of the Paris Agreement. This helps business reduce climate risk and create value by answering to increasing customer, investor and civil society demands for strong climate action.

Gold Standard focuses primarily on 2 REDUCE and 3 FINANCE under the mantra: “Reduce emissions within boundaries; finance beyond.”

For companies seeking to reduce their emissions, find out more about the practical tools developed by Gold Standard and its partners to remove barriers to addressing value chain (scope 3 emissions) in our Value Change Programme.

For organisations looking to support emission reduction projects beyond their own corporate boundaries, learn more about how high integrity carbon offsetting can help finance the global transition to a zero-carbon economy.
