ICROA explained

ICROA stands for “International Carbon Reduction and Offset Alliance”. It's a programme that recognises best practices in carbon crediting. As ICORA describes it “For over a decade, ICROA has been a leading voice in the voluntary carbon market, providing quality assurance, and guidance on emissions reductions and high-quality carbon credit usage.”

Why ICROA matters

Carbon credits are a powerful tool to complement emission reduction efforts. But how do you know the climate projects behind the credits are real and truly making a difference? That's where ICROA comes in.

ICROA accredited companies commit to transacting and retiring carbon credits on behalf of a client based on the following principles:

• Real
• Additional
• Measurable
• Permanent 
• Independently verified
• Unique

Check out CarbonClick's 7-Point Impact Check to find out more about these principles and criteria. 

In addition, the accreditation recognises that: 

• You only purchase credits from ICROA endorsed registries (indepently verified, measurable).
• You support no forward purchases.
• Any credits from government schemes are only used for local footprints.
• You always provide links to the retirement certificates.
• You always provide transparent and complete information around our projects and credit issuances.

Here's what ICROA means for you:

• You can be confident that your carbon offsets are making a positive impact.
• You're supporting a company that's held to the highest standards.
• Together, we're helping to create a cooler planet for everyone.
