Having launched Gold Standard for the Global Goals in 2017, last year centered on several themes to scale our impact beyond project-level activities, including:
- Engaging stakeholders in a more effective and systematic way through our Network Platform designed to co-create programmes and tools that help speed the pace of change
- Innovating with larger-scale solutions such as our ValueChange programme and Fund Level Certification for sustainable business and investors
- Expanding policy work to advocate for the strongest environmental integrity and sustainable development provisions in international agreements
- Removing barriers to certification with first steps to simplify and fully digitise the process, including the creation of SustainCERT and a partnership with the Climate Ledger Initiative
