TÜV SÜD is one of the leading companies providing validation and verification services for CDM and JI projects according to the Kyoto Protocol. Audits have been carried out for hundreds of emission reduction projects worldwide within all relevant project categories. The market for Verified Emissions Reductions is growing dynamically around the world. Transparency and confidence in the voluntary offset market is still vague.
