Score Breakdown

Integrity

verified The verification report (2022) reports no material findings and no corrective actions required.

missing Additionality, baseline, and leakage treatment were not found in the extracted record, limiting confidence in environmental integrity.

Transparency

verified The monitoring period is clearly stated as 2021-01-01 to 2021-12-31 in the verification report (2022).

missing Claimed vs verified emission reduction totals and key MRV parameters (e.g., usage monitoring method) were not found in the extracted record.

Claim Safety

missing CCP status is listed as eligible, while CORSIA eligibility was not found in the extracted record—this increases the need for careful claim framing and due diligence.

missing Baseline, leakage, and quantified verified results were not found in the extracted record, increasing perceived over-crediting/greenwashing risk.

Documentation

verified A named VVB (DNV – Business Assurance Finland Oy Ab) and a dated verification report (2022-05-24) are present.

inferred Evidence document identification is weak (listed as "unknown"), and several core fields were not found in the extracted record; extraction confidence is only medium.

Detailed Analysis

Integrity

The verification report (2022) indicates no material findings and no corrective actions required, which is a positive signal for process compliance. However, the extracted record does not include the additionality test type, whether additionality was confirmed by the VVB, the baseline method, or any baseline reassessment timing. Leakage treatment (deduction and justification) was also not found in the extracted record, which materially weakens confidence in the robustness of credited reductions.

Transparency

The verification report (2022) clearly specifies the monitoring period as 2021-01-01 to 2021-12-31 and identifies the VVB as DNV. At the same time, the extracted record does not provide claimed or verified total emission reductions, nor does it include key MRV elements such as the usage monitoring method or any fossil/non-renewable biomass fraction approach. This limits third-party ability to independently understand or replicate the quantified outcome.

Claim Safety

The project is marked as CCP-eligible in the extracted record, which may increase the likelihood that credits are used for higher-stakes claims. However, CORSIA eligibility was not found in the extracted record, and core quantification elements (baseline approach, leakage treatment, and verified ER totals) are missing from the extracted data. These gaps elevate the risk that public claims could outpace what can be substantiated from the available extracted documentation.

Documentation

There is a dated verification report (2022-05-24) and a clearly named VVB (DNV – Business Assurance Finland Oy Ab), and the extraction confidence is medium rather than low. Still, the evidence document list is not well specified (shown as "unknown"), only two documents were used, and many critical fields (methodology, baseline, additionality, leakage, ER totals) were not found in the extracted record. Overall documentation completeness is therefore moderate at best.

Overall

No contradictions were listed in the extracted record, so no cross-document discrepancies could be resolved or prioritized. The main limitation is not inconsistency but missingness: additionality, baseline, leakage, and verified ER totals are not found in the extracted record despite a verification report being present. As a result, the project scores as mid-to-low quality for integrity and claim safety, with moderate documentation and transparency constrained by absent quantitative disclosures.

Audit Analysis

The project has a recent verification report (2022) by DNV and reports no material findings or corrective actions, which supports basic assurance. However, key integrity drivers—additionality, baseline approach, leakage treatment, and quantified verified results—were not found in the extracted record, creating a meaningful over-crediting risk for claims.

Project Description

Ekovilla offers carbon net-negative cellulose fibre insulation (CFI) made from renewable natural resources. One tonne of Ekovilla’s CFI removes 1,11 tonnes of CO2 eq. from the atmosphere into long-term storage in the product. The insulation is suitable for both new construction and renovation projects and it is used in 10,000 buildings annually. Once installed, CO2 is stored in durable building structures for a minimum of 50 years. It is industrial carbon removal to help corporations achieve their climate targets and take proactive steps towards carbon net zero. How it works Growing trees capture carbon which is then stored in bio-based construction materials. Sustainably grown wood is used for producing newspapers, which are recycled and used as the main ingredient for manufacturing Ekovilla's cellulose fibre insulation (CFI). Once CFI is installed, CO2 is locked and stored in buildings for decades.

Red Flags

Additionality approach and whether it was confirmed by the VVB were not found in the extracted record.
Baseline method and any baseline reassessment timing were not found in the extracted record.
Leakage deduction and justification were not found in the extracted record.
No extracted figures for claimed or verified emission reductions for the 2021 monitoring period.

Cosa migliorerebbe questo punteggio

Publish or extract the specific additionality assessment (test type, key assumptions) and explicit VVB confirmation from the verification/PDD.
Disclose the baseline method (including any reassessment schedule) and the quantified claimed vs verified emission reductions for the 2021 monitoring period.
Provide leakage assessment details (justification and any deduction) and the usage monitoring method used to quantify benefits.
