Sylvera claims to be "the leading carbon credit ratings company."[1] It was founded by a machine learning entrepreneur and uses proprietary machine learning algorithms as the basis of its carbon credit rating system.

Sylvera has a particularly close partnership with Bain & Company, as both a major investor and close collaborator.[2]

Customers include Cargill, Delta Airlines[3] and Shell Oil[4]

Member of the IETA, part of the IETA hub panel discussion at COP26 with Verra, Delta Airlines, Mercuria, and Cargill [5] At COP27, hosted its own panel as part of the IETA Business Hub (main sponsors included Chevron, Verra, Total Energies,, Bain & Company, and the US Chamber of Commerce).[6]

Has worked closely with the World Bank and World Economic Forum[7]. In November of 2021, Sylvera was selected as "a top innovator in the @WEFUpLink World Economic Forum Carbon Market challenge", leading to a "year-long programme of engagement" with the WEF.[8] One year later, they proclaimed together that "new technology" such as Sylvera's meant that most of the concerns with carbon offsetting "have now been addressed." [9]

Claims to have no conflict of interest because it doesn't sell credits[10], yet its major customers are polluters like shell + delta who ARE highly invested in Sylvera's ratings of their credits' legitimacy to deny greenwashing charges

Sylvera publishes reports to downplay evidence of carbon credit fraud[11]
