Gold Standard

Gold Standard is an international clearing standard; it sets out the rules and requirements that all clearing projects must follow in order to be certified.

It is published and administered by the Gold Standard Foundation, a nonprofit association based in Geneva, Switzerland.

It is designed with the intent of ensuring that carbon credits are real and verifiable and that projects make measurable contributions to sustainable development. The intent of the GS is to add the label, with a quality label, to carbon credits generated by projects that can be purchased and traded by countries with a binding legal commitment under the Kyoto Protocol, companies or other organizations with the purpose of offsetting CO₂.

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