The VCMI’s Scope 3 Action Code of Practice, launched on 30 April, provides structured guidance for companies to use high-quality carbon credits to address Scope 3 emissions. It builds on earlier versions of the VCMI Claims framework and aims to standardise credible climate claims.
The Code outlines a four-step process involving the use of high-quality credits (as defined by ICVCM or Article 6.4 – and alternatively CORSIA).
Despite its ambition, uptake has been limited, and the Code may face challenges due to misalignment with other standards such as the SBTi and EU Green Claims Directive.
