# Why is the PCS a viable standard?

PCS was developed by an internationally recognized team of qualified professionals who have experience in developing such standards. They have experience working with UNFCCC and similar projects worldwide.

The main objective of developing PCS was to encourage small and medium-scale carbon projects by facilitating anyone who deserves to benefit from generating carbon credits. PCS is a simplified carbon standard that can be used by anyone. PCS charges are economical compared to other leading standards in the world.
