The Voluntary Carbon Markets Integrity Initiative (VCMI) is an organization established to enhance the transparency, credibility, and effectiveness of the voluntary carbon markets. Its primary focus is to set clear guidelines for companies, governments, and other entities to ensure that the carbon credits they purchase or use are of high quality and genuinely contribute to climate mitigation efforts. VCMI aims to prevent greenwashing and supports the development of standards that help ensure carbon markets align with the Paris Agreement's climate goals, promoting sustainable practices and climate integrity.
