About Gold Standard
Gold Standard works to create a climate secure world where sustainable growth brings life-changing benefits to communities everywhere. Our role as a standard body is to maximise the impact of climate and development activities. We design the strongest processes that amplify the impact of efforts to deliver clean energy and water, responsibly manage land and forests, and transform lives of the world’s poor. We then verify those outcomes, inspiring greater confidence that drives investment to accomplish even more. We were established in 2003 by WWF and other NGOs as a best practice standard to ensure projects that reduced carbon emissions under the UN's CDM also delivered on their dual mandate to foster sustainable development. ISEAL Code Compliant and backed by a broad NGO Supporter Networks, Gold Standard has more than 3400 projects underway in over 100 countries, creating billions of dollars of shared value from climate and development action worldwide. Our Vision: Climate security and sustainable development for all Our Mission: To maximise the impacts of climate and development interventions by creating robust standards that lead to responsible management of the planet's resources and life-changing benefits to communities around the world. Our Values Pioneering: For over a decade, we've shown how climate finance can achieve its highest potential. We’re pushing this further, creating and integrating innovative programs to deliver impacts at a greater scale. Collaborative: To realize our ambitious vision, we will join forces with strategic partners who share our goals and values. Rigorous: We will build upon our reputation for quality and rigour with more robust measurement of outcomes and deeper impact across the Sustainable Development Goals. Transparent: We were established to bring confidence, trust and accountability to carbon markets. We will continue to take strides to improve transparency in our own processes and the broader market.
