Carbon Project Developers and Sylvera

Project developers help deliver the climate, nature, and social impacts central to the promise of the carbon markets. We can’t get to net zero without developers.

Sylvera rigorously assesses the quality of individual projects from afar, but no one knows the specifics of a project quite like the project’s developer. That’s why we operate an in-depth engagement process. Read more below

Project Developer Engagement Process

For the easiest engagement, developers should: ensure their contact details on the registry are up-to-date, project boundary files and documentation are present and correct on the registry, and become familiar with the above processes.

Our Independance

We do not take payment from developers for rating their projects in order to minimize potential conflicts of interest.

Our mission, ‘incentivizing investment in real climate action’ guides how we prioritize which projects to rate. Therefore, we rate projects based on client's needs and market trends.

Read our Proponent Engagement Policy for more information. We are always open to improving our processes. Please reach out to us at projectratings@sylvera.io if you have any feedback or questions.

Data governance

How we use your information

Green checkmark

Most of the information needed to produce a Rating is available publicly. However, we may need additional information or clarifications.

Green checkmark

In these instances, we often engage under confidentiality agreements so that the developer feels comfortable discussing their project openly.

Green checkmark

We store any shared information confidentially. In most cases, if we need to refer to any information in the published Rating, we will ask for permission or confirmation to include before publishing.

Green checkmark

However, to uphold our independence, we reserve the right to refer to any information that significantly shapes the Rating.
