Please review our Conflict of Interest guidelines.
Any person or organization acting as a voting expert on a methodology review panel or validating a project must be independent of the project developer involved, ensuring they are impartial and objective. ‘Dependence’ includes:
- Financial interests or connection (direct or indirect) - ownership stakes, investments, financial ties
- Previous relationships - any past or present relationships with the PD - partnerships, employment, consultancy or any other affiliation that could affect objectivity
- And any other situation that might raise the question of bias, including indirect interests with suppliers and clients
As the methodology development and feedback process is anonymous until finalize, we ask you to identify all Project Developers you have previously worked with and attest that all information is correct.
