VCMI to launch consultation on use of carbon credits for Scope 3
Standard-setters’ exploration of Scope 3 decarbonisation flexibility has rekindled the debate around the corporate use of carbon offsets.
The Voluntary Carbon Markets Integrity Initiative (VCMI) is set to run a public consultation seeking feedback on its ‘Scope 3 claim’, which allows companies to use carbon credits to offset some of their value chain emissions.
The consultation will run from September 2 to October 7, and aims to help VCMI finalise its rules for using the claim, ensuring that it “maintains high standards of integrity, while also being practical to potential corporate adopters”, the organisation said.
