"There is a lot of noise in the market about project quality. Even for informed buyers and suppliers, there are so many different shades of grey. Sylvera fills this gap in the market to increase integrity and quality, which is much needed.”
“You can't manage what you can't measure. So for us it was important to get the measurement right in the beginning. I have a lot of respect for third parties especially on the verification side, and that's why we use Sylvera.”
"What is very special about Sylvera is that they really crack the science behind the rating instead of going too fast and too broad. Their strong methodology will give users very, very good confidence that the [rating] decision is based on proper facts and proper science. This is what differentiates Sylvera in the market."
"To fully unlock the potential of the carbon market, high-quality projects need more investment and more stringent due diligence before they even issue credits. Sylvera’s Pre-Issuance Solution provided actionable insights that enabled our team to act quickly on project opportunities and, ultimately, feel confident in deploying early-stage capital."
"Sylvera, who I have been a big fan of since day one, are really helping on the quality side of things."

The highest rigor & integrity means ratings that are 'right first time'.
We maintain clear separation between our commercial and ratings functions. Our entire governance framework ensures that our ratings team has no incentive to produce biased ratings.
We are the only ratings agency with a Ratings Oversight Committee that monitors the integrity of our ratings.
We do not charge developers to rate their projects - the only true guarantee of integrity and independence.
Our connect to supply market aggregation feature is free to both buyers and suppliers, meaning that we can connect our users to the best price, and suppliers to demand - with zero conflict of interest.
Our technical advisory board, comprising leading global CDR and NBS industry and academic experts, review our draft rating methodologies for technical integrity and effectiveness.
Unlike competitors, each project type has always had a specific Sylvera rating framework. This lets us create comparable AAA-D ratings, while respecting the reality of highly different underlying activities.
We share our these rating frameworks with developers, registries, traders, investors and academics in draft form and then freeze them. This limits rating volatility to only reflect real world changes - our ratings are right first time.
