From Climate Strategy to an Audit-Proof Carbon Credit Strategy

Under the CSRD, carbon credits become part of the audited sustainability statement. ESRS E1-7 requires companies to disclose how many credits they cancelled in the reporting year, what share are removals and what share reductions, which quality standards the projects are certified under, and how many are located in the EU. The auditor reviews these disclosures as part of the assurance engagement.

Buying credits is no longer enough. The selection has to fit the climate strategy, the claims have to hold, and the documentation has to stand up to an audit.

What you'll take away

• Where carbon credits fit in a climate strategy: what they are used for alongside reduction, and which claims they can support
• What ESRS E1-7 requires: the disclosures on volume, removals, quality standards and EU projects that belong in the report
• How to evidence quality: assessing projects beyond the registry label and documenting the selection so an auditor can follow it
• The auditor's view: what assurance looks at for carbon credits and which evidence to keep on file
