Gold Standard carbon credits are the highest quality carbon credits currently available for voluntary offsets, and the projects they fund are the premium projects on the market. The method requires that renewable energy and energy efficiency technologies also lead to sustainable development for local communities (such as increased standards of living, knowledge transfer, job creation or pollution reduction). All Gold Standard projects are rigorously tested for environmental quality by registered third parties.  The Gold Standard Foundation only grants its label after third-party validation and project verification. Because of the increased awareness of the need for transparency and rigour on the carbon market, Gold Standard credits are in high demand. They are also very scarce.  Companies appreciate the Gold Standard\u2019s stringent criteria since they know their carbon investment will have value even if policies change.  The Gold Standard was created by WWF and is supported by the David Suzuki Foundation and many international NGOs as a best practice standard to ensure that carbon offset projects maintain the highest levels of environmental integrity and contribute to sustainable development. All Gold Standard-certified projects and programs accelerate progress towards the carbon neutrality ambition of the Paris Agreement while catalyzing impacts towards broader sustainable development goals.
