Senken And Sylvera Find Major Gaps In Carbon Credit Transparency Among DAX40 Firms

A joint study by Senken and Sylvera found significant transparency gaps in how Germany’s DAX40 companies disclose their use of carbon credits. While many firms have announced net-zero and carbon neutrality targets, the report found limited disclosure regarding credit types, project sources, integrity standards, and the role of offsets within broader decarbonization strategies. Researchers noted that many companies do not clearly state whether credits meet frameworks such as ICVCM’s Core Carbon Principles, VCMI Claims Code, or SBTi-related guidance. The findings highlight growing scrutiny around corporate carbon credit use, greenwashing risks, and climate claim credibility. Market participants expect stronger demand for high-integrity credits, removals, and more standardized disclosure practices as transparency expectations continue to rise.
