Gold Standard

Gold Standard is an international compensation standard, it establishes the rules and requirements that all compensation projects must follow to be certified.

It is published and administered by Gold Standard Foundation, a non-profit association based in Geneva, Switzerland.

It was designed with the intent of ensuring that carbon credits are real and verifiable and that projects provide measurable contributions to sustainable development. Attempt of GS is to add the brand, with a quality label, to the carbon credits generated by projects that can be purchased and marketed by countries that have a binding legal commitment pursuant to Kyoto Protocol, businesses or other organizations with the purpose of compensating the CO₂.

It is currently the second most used standard globally, after Verified Carbon Standard by Verra.
