Why has Less committed to an annual independent audit?
Less has committed to an annual independent audit by an internationally recognized auditing firm in order to demonstrate that all offsets are certified as Gold Standard and retired on behalf of Less customers to preclude double-counting of the environmental benefits. The audit is also designed to validate that Less has sourced sufficient inventory to meet or exceed its contracted commitments. As a result, the audit ensures that businesses and individuals can purchase Less offsets with confidence, eliminating the risks inherent in purchasing low-quality offsets.
