We applaud Fortis’s comprehensive and rigorous approach, and so do the 38 non-governmental organisations that endorse the Gold Standard. ‘ Lex Kloosterman, Fortis Chief Strategy Officer and Executive Committee member responsible for CSR, explains: ‘The Gold Standard Foundation marries support for high social and environmental objectives with expert advice. Wide-ranging consultation among stakeholders and the key actors in the carbon market (including governments) led to the formulation of the Gold Standard. This ensures a realistic, robust, and widely acknowledged appraisal procedure for offset projects, and results in the highest quality credits for voluntary buyers like Fortis. Our collaboration with the Gold Standard Foundation and our choice of premium quality credits shows that we consider climate change to be one of the most important challenges facing the world and business leaders today. We want to make a meaningful contribution to fighting climate change, and to establishing Fortis as a climate leader.’.
