The UK government has opened consultation on a draft standard for carbon offsetting. The aim of the code of practice is so that people will be able to tell whether the offsetting schemes they are using, or thinking of using, really do take that carbon out of the global carbon economy for good and whether they can trust the schemes they are using.
Defra launched a consultation on a Code of Best Practice for the provision of carbon offsetting to UK customers on 18 January 2007. The purpose of establishing a Code is to ensure consumer confidence the emerging carbon emissions offsetting market. The consultation will finish on 13 April 2007 and the intention is to have the Code operating by November 2007.
