Shared principles for growing high-integrity use of carbon credits by companies and other buyers

This guidance by the Coalition to Grow Carbon Markets outlines voluntary principles for increasing high-integrity corporate demand for carbon credits. It sets expectations for decarbonisation-first strategies, procurement of high-quality reductions and removals, fair pricing, co-benefits, transparent disclosure and substantiated claims. The principles draw on PACM, ICVCM and CORSIA standards, and encourage government alignment to improve market consistency, legal clarity and recognition of credible buyers.
