The VCS Program stands as the world’s largest GHG crediting initiative, thanks to its stringent rules and requirements, adaptability to emerging scientific, technological, and regulatory advancements, and the transparency of project information, all accessible on the Verra Registry. These attributes lead to GHG emission reductions or removals that are genuine, quantifiable, additional, lasting, independently verified, conservatively estimated, uniquely numbered, and transparently documented (VCS Quality Assurance Principles). The VCS Program is endorsed by the International Carbon Reduction and Offset Alliance (ICROA) and complies with the ICROA Code of Best Practice.
