Verified Carbon Standard – VCS project Validation and Verification
In the global fight against climate change, a growing number of companies and countries are making pledges to reduce their emissions and become carbon neutral. Offsetting – the purchase of carbon credits – offers them a way to compensate for emissions that cannot be avoided. The Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) is the largest voluntary GHG program under which such carbon credits can be certified. Control Union is a Validation and Verification Body (VVB) currently undergoing accreditation for VCS.
