Carbon offsetting - Code of best practice

Climate Change: Carbon offsetting - Code of best practice
http://www.defra.gov.uk/environment/climatechange/uk/carbonoffset/codeofpractice.htm
Defra held a consultation in 2007 outlining the Government’s proposals for establishing a voluntary Code of Best Practice on carbon offsetting. The purpose of establishing a Code is to ensure consumer confidence, which should encourage growth in an emerging market. The Code will be voluntary and offset providers can choose whether to seek accreditation for all, or some, of their offsetting products
