Annually, Environmental Finance organizes a voting process (access survey) to distinguish the prominent figures in the voluntary carbon market (VCM), encompassing project developers, traders, and service providers.

Why vote for the Social Carbon Foundation as the Best GHG Crediting Programme / Standards Setter?

1. SOCIALCARBON innovates: in 12 months, 8 methodologies have been developed, many of which are novel to the market, such as SCM0007 – Methodology for the Treatment of Harmful Algae Blooms. No other standard setter has achieved so much in such as short period of time.

2. SOCIALCARBON goes beyond just carbon: Projects using the standard are required to monitor co-benefits and deliver continuously improvement. This is unique to the market and drives more holistically designed projects, that benefit people, biodiversity and planet.

3. SOCIALCARBON lowers barriers to entry: We operate the most cost effective standard on the market, have developed a knowledge sharing platform to simplify operational procedures for Project Developers and VVBs, and ensure local communities are at the heart of project development.

Vote for Social Carbon Foundation as Best GHG Crediting Programme / Standards Setter here. The survey is open until Friday, July 28th.
