The Gold Standard Foundation is a non-profit organization under Swiss law that operates a certification scheme for premium carbon credits. The Gold Standard Foundation registers projects that reduce greenhouse gas emissions in ways that contribute to sustainable development and certifies their carbon credits for sale on both compliance and voluntary offset markets. The Foundation’s supporters have developed a method and tools that enable project developers to meet the rigorous requirements associated with its quality label with a minimum of additional effort. Foundation staff charged with overseeing registration, certification and oversight processes are available to respond to queries and provide general guidance, while members of the Gold Standard’s Technical Advisory Committee work with the secretariat to provide clarifications on more technical aspects of the rules and procedures.
