Why Use VCS Quality Assurance?

More and more businesses, consumers and governments around the world are taking action to curb greenhouse gas emissions.

As awareness of climate risk grows, more businesses and governments are moving to curb GHG emissions, many on a voluntary basis. Whether for ethical reasons, for risk mitigation, or to get ahead of the game, people and organizations are not waiting for top-down global climate regulations to take action.

VCS is among the most widely used GHG accounting programs by projects quantifying emission reductions and issuing GHG credits in the voluntary carbon market. To date, more than 600 projects have used VCS to reduce or remove more than 80 million metric tonnes of CO2-equivalent from the atmosphere.

VCS has been used by projects on six continents to ensure that every GHG credit they generate is verified, permanent, unique and traceable. This provides important quality assurance for those working to curb GHG emissions even as global climate regulations take shape.
