Our climate change mitigation projects must follow strict criteria for selection - here is some insight into how we choose our projects.
How do we choose removal offset projects?
The climate change mitigation projects we help finance offer offsets that are validated and verified under the market leading Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) programme and accounted for in the VERRA registry to avoid double counting.
When we retire offsets on your behalf, a “retirement record” is placed within the VERRA registry for the amount / series of offsets corresponding to your travel emissions and indicated as “Retired by Goodwings on behalf of [your company name]”.
