Distinguished Advisors

Our Executive Secretariat
The Executive Secretariat supports the Governing Board and Expert Panel while overseeing all operational tasks on behalf of the Integrity Council. It comprises both a growing team of directly-employed staff, and benefits from the partnership and expertise of three leading climate, finance, and standards NGOs: the British Standards Institution (BSI), the International Emissions Trading Association (IETA), and the Center for Climate and Energy Solutions (C2ES). During its early months, the Green Finance Institute (GFI) played a pivotal role in the Executive Secretariat as the launch host and operational delivery lead. They continue to provide operational and strategic advice and support.
