Please review our Conflict of Interest guidelines.
Our internal team COI policy (covering the OCP management, employees, and board) ensures the OCP operates independently from the methodologies and projects we register.
The OCP is designed so that the approval of new carbon crediting methodologies or projects is the responsibility of independent, third-party Experts and Validators; oneshot.earth employees should not have any decision-making authority over these approvals.
However, some employees may have more impact on the decision-making process through contact with the decision-making Experts and Validators. These roles will be held to a higher degree of conflict of interest management than other employees.
‘Dependency' with a Project Developer or other Stakeholder includes:
- Financial interests or connection (direct or indirect) - ownership stakes, investments, financial ties
- Governance influence
- 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
