The Voluntary Carbon Market is driven by organisations and individuals voluntarily offsetting their emissions. Participants purchase carbon credits to compensate for their carbon footprint and demonstrate environmental responsibility. This market is not bound by regulatory requirements but is guided by international standards and best practices.

The participants of the VCM include various entities that engage in the trading and offsetting of carbon credits outside of regulatory compliance requirements. These participants can range from companies, organisations and governments to individuals who voluntarily take part in offsetting their emissions or supporting climate projects.

The VCM handbook is a living document. Should there be any changes in your state’s carbon trading policies, please do let us know so we can update our VCM handbook. We thank you for your valuable contribution to this handbook and we look forward to our continued collaboration as we build the carbon market ecosystem in the country.
