Central Issuer for
the I-REC Standard

We are the Central Issuer and Centre of Excellence for I-RECs (International Renewable Energy Certificates) and accredited by the I-REC Standard. GCC verifies and approves the registration of production facilities and requests for certificates for their output.

The global I-REC registry operated by Evident provides end-users with a uniquely verifiable confirmation of ownership as the single register for I-REC certificates.

I-REC certification meets RE100 and CDP requirements in accordance with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol Scope 2 Guidance. RE100 companies commit to using 100% renewable electricity for their global operations by either producing or purchasing from renewable sources. CDP helps companies measure and report their environmental impact, set goals, and engage stakeholders.
