“Over the years we’ve invested significantly in our field data team - focusing on producing trusted ratings. While this ensures the accuracy of our Ratings, it doesn’t allow the scale across the thousands of projects that buyers are considering.”
For more information on carbon credit procurement trends, read our "Key Takeaways for 2025" article. We share five, data-backed tips to improve your procurement strategy.
One more thing: Connect to Supply customers also get access to the rest of Sylvera's tools. That means you can easily see project ratings and evaluate an individual project's strengths, procure quality carbon credits, and even monitor project activity (particularly if you’ve invested at the pre-issuance stage.)

The carbon market is at an inflection point. With voluntary carbon market volumes reaching new heights and compliance markets expanding globally, the stakes for making informed decisions have never been higher. Yet too many market participants still operate with incomplete information, struggling to assess project quality, understand fair pricing, or identify emerging risks and opportunities.
Our mission at Sylvera is to "incentivize real climate action" – and that requires transparency at scale.
The transparency imperative
Climate action fundamentally rests on data. Without reliable information, capital can't flow efficiently to the highest-impact projects. Our State of Carbon Credits Report demonstrated the strong correlation between project quality and pricing – but only when that quality is visible and accessible.
This is why we've pioneered rigorous carbon credit ratings, built the industry's most comprehensive project database, and developed proprietary market intelligence. Now, we're taking the next step: making this critical market infrastructure accessible to everyone.
