Reporting
To report in a transparent and credible way, companies should:
Align with emerging regulatory standards
- Follow disclosure principles under your specific region's climate disclosure rules
- Clearly distinguish emissions reductions from carbon removals in all reporting.
- Specify the methodology, verification standard, registry, and the durability profile of the removals purchased.
Be specific and consistent in communication
- Report the volumes purchased, delivered, and retired, with project-level detail when possible.
- Provide information on CDR types, project locations, partners, and any verification or certification systems used.
- Maintain consistency between public announcements, sustainability reports, investor updates, and internal documentation to avoid discrepancies.
Engage stakeholders and demonstrate transparency
- Share your purchase and delivery data with CDR.fyi, the trusted source for durable CDR market data.
- Communicate setbacks, delays, or learnings transparently through appropriate channels—such as sustainability or annual reports, dedicated climate disclosures, corporate websites, or public updates—rather than avoiding or downplaying them.
Show a long-term plan and strategic evolution
- Explain how the current procurement supports a long-term carbon removal portfolio, including a gradual transition toward more durable removals over time.
- Describe how the strategy aligns with recognized guidance such as the Oxford Offsetting Principles.
- Demonstrate readiness to update the approach as standards, science, and regulation evolve.
