OCP Governance Structure

Consistent, accurate carbon accounting across all types of projects
'Quality' = consensus of relevant expertise (both academic, industry, and from within the market)
High Quality should be the baseline for the industry (confidence + accuracy), and we reach this benchmark through our process (uses industry-leading practices from ICVCM + modeled after peer review process)
We aim to issue highly impactful credits that meet buyers' needs + drive environmental and social change.
Transparency drives accountability, openness, and education. We provide the most open + transparent source of documents, processes, and data in the VCM.
Governance should drive three objectives: transparency, accountability & quality.
The Open Carbon Protocol is constantly developing as market needs unfold. All changes are made with the guiding objectives above, and we request feedback at any time.
Rio Richardson, Chief Product Officer, is responsible for the administration and development of the platform. Decisions are made in consultation with the CEO, COO, and other team members. When there's a debate or uncertainty on how to proceed, issues are presented to the Board.
