Gold Standard Impact Registry 

Our Impact Registry tracks the certification status of climate projects engaged in the Gold Standard certification process. It offers a comprehensive public view of their progress and provides access to essential project documentation, empowering stakeholders with the knowledge needed to make informed decisions.

The registry is where products for Gold Standard projects, such as carbon credits, are issued, held, transferred, and retired, providing transparency and credibility. It can be considered the ‘source of truth’ for information related to Gold Standard products, with unique serial numbers generated for every issued credit, allowing full traceability through the lifecycle of the credit from generation to sale, and eventual use or ‘retirement’.

It also showcases the certified Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) impacts. By highlighting these tangible outcomes, we demonstrate the real-world contributions of Gold Standard-certified projects.

The registry is used by a range of stakeholders including project developers, academics, credit purchasers, brokers and exchanges, marketplaces, and the wider public.

Additional information for project developers:

For certification to Gold Standard for the Global Goals, a project developer must have an open Impact Registry account.

Project Developers only require one Impact Registry account per organisation and can have multiple projects within their account.

After the successful opening of the account, Gold Standard will inform the certification body, who will provide information on accessing the platform, where project developers can submit their documentation and schedule reviews by a third-party certification body.
