Standards

Sustainable Carbon is differentiated by the fact we use two standards in all of our projects. 

Sustainable Carbon relies on the Voluntary Carbon Standard (VCS) 2007.1 to develop the carbon aspect of its projects. The VCS was developed by the Voluntary Carbon Standard Association, an organization that develops methodologies used to quantify GHG emission reductions per project type. The VCS is the only voluntary carbon-accounting standard that was designed to exacting International Standard Organization (ISO) principles. It is the most widely used and most trusted carbon-accounting standard in the voluntary market. Its use ensures the environmental integrity of the credits produced.

• Counts on the active participation of our local partners to transparently assess our projects' lifelong sustainability.
• Is applied to ensure our projects demonstrate continual improvement on six resources: social, human, financial, natural, technology and carbon.
