The Gold Standard for the international compliance and voluntary market provides a set of tools to develop emission reduction projects that result in genuine additional emission reductions, while also promoting the transition to renewable energy systems.
Projects applying the criteria are awarded the Gold Standard label for premium quality carbon credits. Gold Standard projects are required to bring social, economic and environmental benefits to the communities affected by them. In particular, projects should demonstrate that they create jobs and enhance the local economy.
Essent Trading is proud to be a supporting sponsor of The Gold Standard Version 2. The Gold Standard has rapidly become the benchmark by which all carbon credits are measured. It has given status and credibility to the market in terms of quality, reliability and sustainability of carbon offset projects.
