First of its kind, in-depth risk data empowers buyers to make informed purchasing decisions through transparent, objective data and clear, streamlined risk visualization.

• CEEZER Prism provides comprehensive quality and risk analysis for carbon credits by offering a holistic risk profile and comparing projects on central quality indicators in the voluntary carbon market.
• By enhancing trust between buyers and suppliers, CEEZER Prism supports CEEZER's mission to foster a more science-backed, transparent, and data-informed carbon market.

Berlin, April 9, 2025 — Trust and transparency remain critical challenges in the voluntary carbon market, where buyers need reliable data to make confident climate investments. To address this issue, CEEZER, the leading global carbon credit platform, has enhanced its risk assessment capabilities with the launch of CEEZER Prism, an advanced tool that builds on CEEZER's established due diligence framework to compare projects on central risk drivers and provide an accessible way for buyers to understand project risk. 

By identifying and mitigating risks in a transparent and reliable way, CEEZER enables customers to purchase carbon credits with greater confidence, supporting adoption of high-quality climate solutions.

In a market often criticized for its complexity and opacity, CEEZER Prism offers carbon credit buyers clarity with a streamlined visualization that distills more than 400 risk factors into an easy comparison tool across all project types. The assessment framework evaluates three key risk dimensions: 

• Quality risk addressing permanence, additionality, and verification standards
• Delivery risk focusing on project implementation and credit issuance timelines
• Country risk examining regulatory environment and political stability

“Customers in the voluntary carbon market have low confidence due to overwhelming complexity and frequent policy changes,” explains Magnus Drewelies, CEO of CEEZER. “CEEZER Prism addresses this by providing contextually relevant risk and quality information. It is designed to inform customers at a key moment in their purchase journey.”

CEEZER Prism builds on CEEZER's data-focused approach with capabilities including:

• Standardized, easy-to-understand risk visualization that enables objective comparison across projects, portfolios, and the broader market.
• Clear comparative context through percentile rankings and carbon project categories, allowing buyers to see how each project performs relative to others in CEEZER's vetted pool across all risk drivers.
• Comprehensive analysis of risk drivers including quality, delivery, and host country factors.
• Transparent assessment methodology based on objective data points such as project documentation completeness, verification history, regulatory compliance, and historical performance metrics.
• Continuous project reevaluation to ensure ongoing risk monitoring.

Strengthening decision-making for enterprise customers

CEEZER Prism is designed to address the needs of enterprise sustainability teams, CFOs, and procurement departments who need transparent risk assessment for their climate investments.

“Enterprise sustainability teams are concerned with reputational risk and need robust due diligence support,” notes Dr. Carla Woydt, CEEZER's Chief Impact Officer. “Meanwhile, procurement departments and CFOs require detailed risk assessments based on transparent, objective data to make final investment decisions. Our new feature bridges this communication gap by providing the data-driven insights both stakeholders need.”

Toward a more trusted carbon market

Known for its data-focused approach to carbon credit management, CEEZER leverages more than 400 risk factors across multiple risk categories and dimensions to bring transparency to the carbon market. CEEZER Prism extends CEEZER's ongoing commitment to fostering a more transparent, data-informed market.

“We’ve introduced this new risk assessment capability to reinforce the foundation of trust and transparency that's crucial for effective climate action,” says Drewelies. “This isn't just about providing data. It's about transforming how carbon credits are assessed and strengthening the basis for climate-focused investments.”
