HOW TO ENGAGE WITH THE GOLD STANDARD
All entities that engage with the Gold Standard must:
- Complete and sign an application form for the type of engagement concerned.
- Sign the Terms and Conditions of the Gold Standard Foundation - a legal document that binds them to respect the Gold Standard Principles of Engagement and specifies the conditions that apply for those that have acquired the right to use the Gold Standard brand name and logo.
- Where applicable, sign a legally-binding agreement for the type of engagement concerned, once the Terms and Conditions have been signed.
PRINCIPLES OF ENGAGEMENT
The emergence of the Gold Standard as a premium-quality brand in carbon markets has led many actors to seek association with it. The Gold Standard Foundation allows qualified actors to associate formally with the brand, based on the following three principles:
Commitment: All those wishing to engage with the Gold Standard must demonstrate - through actions and written commitments - their dedication to promoting robust carbon markets which stimulate sustainable development.
Transparency: The Gold Standard Foundation will only enter into fully transparent engagements with carbon market actors, supporters, contributors and sponsors.
Neutrality: The Gold Standard Foundation will not share project contacts on a preferred basis nor exclusively connect parties seeking Gold Standard credits with parties that offer Gold Standard credits. However, through the Marketplace listings section of the Golden Pages, it offers all actors in the Gold Standard market a convenient way to find each other.
