Compliance priorities

The Technical Governance Committee is dedicated to administering the BidCarbon Standard Scheme in an transparent, ethical, and accountable manner. Our compliance and policy priorities are designed to enhance our participants' awareness and willingness to comply voluntarily in order to achieve our strategic objectives, and to highlight specific areas that we will prioritize for each of the schemes we administer.

The BidCarbon Standard Scheme maintains a continued focus on compliance. By disseminating this information, it is hoped that levels of voluntary compliance will increase and areas for improvement will be identified.

We also publish updates on new compliance issues.
