How to Choose the Right Carbon Credit Provider (And Avoid Common Pitfalls)

‍

As carbon markets mature, expectations around carbon credit quality and transparency are increasing. With more eyes on corporate climate claims, it's essential to ensure that your investments in carbon credits are credible, defensible, and aligned with the latest best practices.

‍

That’s why we created our new resource: “Buyer’s Guide: What to Look for in a Carbon Credit Provider.” Whether you're buying carbon credits for the first time or re-evaluating your current vendor, this guide gives you the tools to make a confident, informed choice.

‍

Why Choosing the Right Provider Matters

Carbon credits are not created equal. The quality of credits and the credibility of the organizations that provide them can vary dramatically.

‍

Working with the wrong provider can expose your company to:

‍

• Greenwashing claims if the credits you purchase are later found to be low integrity
• Financial risk from wasted budget on projects that don’t deliver real climate impact
• Reputational risk as disclosure requirements increase around carbon claims

‍

By contrast, a trusted provider can help you:

‍

• Purchase high-integrity projects through rigorous and transparent due diligence
• Ensure ongoing diligence with active project monitoring and support in case of project issues
• Simplify reporting and stakeholder communications
