Meet #1 ClimatePartner alternative

Senken is a procurement platform for high-quality, CSRD-ready credits with no greenwashing risk. With Senken's market-leading quality framework, Sustainability Integrity Index, customers like Vodafone, DZ Bank, and Deutsche Telekom secure high quality carbon credits.

Senken vs ClimatePartner

ClimatePartner relies on standard registries that have been proven to fail. Senken re-verifies every project with its own 600-point quality check to block ineffective credits like outdated cookstoves.

Why market leaders are moving their portfolios from ClimatePartner to Senken

Many companies start with ClimatePartner and later turn to a specialised platform like Senken for higher demands on carbon credits. Typical reasons include:

Deeper Project Quality & Transparency

Legacy providers often mix good projects with cheap, risky ones (like cookstoves) to protect their margins. Senken eliminates the "black box" by letting you inspect and vet every single credit, ensuring you never unknowingly fund a low-quality project.

Separating Accounting from Procurement

It is a conflict of interest to let the company measuring your emissions also sell you the credits. Mature teams are moving to Senken to decouple these functions, ensuring unbiased procurement that stands up to financial audits.

Real Risk Protection

If a standard project fails or faces a scandal, the buyer usually takes the loss. Senken provides automated Buyer Protection: if a credit underperforms or is invalidated, we replace it instantly so your climate claims remain safe.

Audit-ready Documentation

Climate Neutral" labels are no longer enough for new regulations like CSRD and SBTi. Senken replaces static marketing PDFs with deep, structured data exports, giving you the audit trails required by the new EU Green Claims Directive.
