What is the GS4GG Certification

WHAT IS GOLD STANDARD FOR GLOBAL GOALS?

Gold Standard became an ISEAL (ISEAL is the global association for credible sustainability standards) ) subscriber in 2016 and developed Gold Standard for the Global Goals (“GS4GG”) in line with ISEAL requirements in July 2017. All registered Gold Standard projects are required to update to GS4GG, with the date of upgrading depending on the project context. To upgrade, an annex demonstrating how a project meets the GS4GG’s new requirements must be prepared. The updated Standard is aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals, and introduces new safeguarding principles for some project types amongst other things.

SustainCERT is the official certification body for Gold Standard for the Global Goals (GS4GG).
