Companies are investing in carbon credits, but this practice does not effectively accelerate decarbonization, potentially misleading consumers and detracting from essential emission reductions.

There is no evidence that carbon credit use accelerates decarbonization, despite companies continuing to invest in them.
Carbon credits are often misleadingly presented as a solution for companies to decarbonize faster.
Research indicates that relying on carbon credits can distract from the essential work of reducing a company's carbon footprint.
Using carbon credits risks misleading consumers and could lead to serious repercussions for companies.
Companies should prioritize internal emission reductions and consider carbon credits as a complement, not a substitute, for decarbonization.
Proper due diligence is necessary before funding carbon credit projects or other climate initiatives.
