Standard Bodies & Registries
The organisations that set the rules and keep the record of every credit.
What they do
- Publish the standards and methodologies that projects must follow.
- Operate the registry where credits are issued, transferred and retired.
- Approve or accredit the auditors who verify projects.
What to check before you rely on one
- Does the registry show project pages and issuance records publicly?
- Are methodologies published, versioned and open to comment?
- Can you look up whether a specific credit has been retired?
