Even as they decarbonise, organisations will continue to generate emissions for years to come.
Ongoing Emissions Responsibility (OER) provides a practical framework for linking those emissions to meaningful finance that accelerates climate action beyond the value chain.
Developed by Gold Standard, Pinwheel and ClimatePartner, Ongoing Emissions: Taking Responsibility builds on Gold Standard’s previous Funding Beyond Value Chain Mitigation guidance. See Funding Beyond Value Chain Mitigation guidanceIt sets out how organisations can establish an OER budget, build a high-quality portfolio of climate action, and communicate their action with integrity.
The report is designed to help organisations make credible, transparent contributions to emissions reductions, innovation, adaptation and other activities that support the transition to net zero.
