The CSG Standard is a voluntary carbon market certification standard, which describes the principles, processes and rules for the issuance of CSG Standard carbon credits. The CSG Standard is designed to finance small-scale climate protection projects, allowing voluntary carbon market participants to support local initiatives by purchasing carbon credits. == Voluntary carbon market certification standards == Voluntary carbon market certification standards, also known as carbon offset schemes, define the rules of verification, measurement, tracking and monitoring of greenhouse gas emission units (so-called carbon credits) generated by climate protection projects . Several such standards exist. Projects running under voluntary carbon market certification standards (e.g. Verified Carbon Standard, Gold Standard, Social Carbon, VER+, The Voluntary Offset Standard) currently in use around the world must meet three additionality criteria: • Legal additionality: a project cannot meet this criterion if it is only realised in order to comply with legal requirements. However, it must comply with all relevant standards and legislation; • Environmental additionality: a project may not cause large-scale negative impact on the environment; • Financial additionality: a project may only be implemented if it could not be realised without the profits made through selling carbon credits.
