Green-e Certified - Climate

Standard

1

A global third-party certification program for carbon offsets

Carbon offsets are an effective way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from activities like flying, driving, and heating. Green-e® Climate certified offsets meet the most rigorous standards for quality in the industry. Through independent oversight of marketing and sales, buyers can be sure they are getting what they paid for.

Green-e® Climate is a chain-of-custody certification for carbon offsets that requires project verification by Endorsed Programs (like the American Carbon Registry, the Climate Action Reserve, the Gold Standard, and the Verified Carbon Standard). Through the Green-e® Climate program, CRS takes oversight further by being the only program to monitor how offsets are transacted and advertised in the retail market, protecting both the buyer and the seller.
