Meet the Wilder Carbon Technical Standard Board

To provide public and investor assurance that any Wilder Carbon project is being done in the most impactful way in line with best practice, we mobilised a group of independent cross-sectoral experts who have developed the Wilder Carbon Standard. This enables projects to be certified and matched to ethical buyers and investors.

The Standard will continue to be improved over time with the Standard Board acting as its guardians to ensure that it is being properly applied, and that it reflects international, emerging high integrity mechanisms.
