Transitioning to a net-zero future can seem a complex, and at times, daunting proposition. The stages, processes, and issues can be technically challenging, and understanding where to turn to for support — and which frameworks to follow — is not always straightforward.
That’s why VCMI is working to provide companies, governments, and other stakeholders with the tools to engage in voluntary carbon markets with integrity, accelerating the pace and scale of credible climate action.
For companies
VCMI’s Carbon Integrity Claims are made by companies to showcase and communicate ambitious climate leadership. By making a Carbon Integrity Claim, a company leverages high-quality carbon credits to go above and beyond their science-aligned emissions cuts, accelerating global net zero.
The ‘Carbon Integrity’ Silver, Gold, and Platinum Claims enable companies to demonstrate climate achievement.
For governments
VCMI’s Access Strategies program supports host-country governments to establish the policies and processes necessary to build and strengthen a cohesive governance of voluntary carbon markets.
From how to integrate voluntary carbon market engagement into country plans, to the monitoring, reporting and verification systems of project developers, this program enables governments to work closely with VCMI to develop clear strategies for countries to harness the power of voluntary carbon markets.
