Does Gold Standard offer consultancy for projects?
As a standard setter, Gold Standard cannot offer consultancy or provide comment or advice on a specific situation or project activity.
Project developers are required to ensure that their project meets the eligibility and requirements set out in our project documentation and relevant methodologies. Guidance and tools have been created to further support project developers with the project certification process.
Any project issues will be identified as part of the certification process either by the independent auditors (VVBs) or by the certification reviewer.
However, Gold Standard is can provide clarity with regards to our standard documents and its requirements via a formal Clarification Request submission.
