Thank you to both @wef and @WMBtweets for recognising the role of VCMI in improving the carbon market, and acknowledging that - though there is much work to be done to define best practice - the #ClaimsCode will help point the way forward.

"Corporates on a #NetZero journey must first take ambitious action within their businesses to reduce their GHG emissions, & then use high-quality carbon credits to offset remaining emissions. Initiatives like @wearevcmi point the way forward."
