The UK Carbon Code of Conduct (UKCCC) has been established as a central set of standards taking a holistic approach to enable whole landholdings to enter projects to optimise the opportunity to restore carbon and biodiversity into natural capital assets managed by project hosts.
The UKCCC is a not for profit entity that exists purely to ensure that its standards are continually developed and upheld and to give confidence that the carbon credits it issues are robust and assure the central pillars are upheld, namely:
The UKCCC shall seek full accreditation and membership to International Emissions Trading Association (IETA) and the International Carbon Reduction and Offset Alliance (ICROA) and shall continually respond to best practice, new technological advances, changes in the IPPC regulations and the advice given by the UK Climate Change Commitee and the Taskforce for the Scaling of Voluntary Carbon Markets. The UKCCC seeks to work with other codes and stakeholders that share its Vision and Mission
