In practice, there is variation in how well projects are implemented. ICVCM do not apply assurance at the project implementation level. Here, the Government sees a clear role for assessments carried out by carbon credit ratings agencies to provide additional assurance.

UK Government VCNM integrity principles

We encourage companies to transparently disclose their use of carbon credits. This includes the volume of credits, type of credits, project location, where the credits were held (e.g., which registry), purpose of use, and third-party ratings if available.
