Ekovilla 3 Ylistaro
Score Breakdown
Integrity
verified The verification report (2022-05-24) reports no material findings and no corrective actions required.
missing Additionality, baseline method, and leakage treatment are not stated in the extracted record, limiting confidence in credit integrity.
Transparency
verified The verifier is identified as DNV Business Assurance Finland Oy Ab and the monitoring period is specified (2021-01-01 to 2021-12-31) in the verification report (2022-05-24).
missing Key quantified MRV outputs (claimed and verified totals) and key parameters (e.g., fossil/non-fossil split method) are not stated in the extracted record.
Claim Safety
verified No material findings were reported in the verification report (2022-05-24), which reduces (but does not eliminate) misstatement risk.
missing CORSIA eligibility and CCP status are not stated in the extracted record, and baseline/leakage details are missing, elevating greenwashing and over-crediting risk.
Documentation
verified A dated verification report (2022-05-24) is present and names the VVB (DNV Business Assurance Finland Oy Ab).
missing Evidence documents are poorly specified (listed as "unknown"), and multiple core fields are not stated in the extracted record despite two documents being used.
Detailed Analysis
Integrity
The verification report (2022-05-24) indicates no material findings and no corrective actions required, which is a positive signal for process quality. However, the extracted record does not state the additionality test used or whether additionality was confirmed by the verifier, and it also does not state the baseline method or when it was last reassessed. Leakage treatment (deduction and justification) is also not stated in the extracted record, which materially weakens integrity for a biomass/alternative materials project type.
Transparency
The verification report (2022-05-24) clearly identifies the VVB (DNV Business Assurance Finland Oy Ab) and specifies the monitoring period as 2021-01-01 to 2021-12-31. At the same time, the extracted record does not include the claimed or verified total climate benefit for the period, nor does it provide key calculation inputs such as the fossil/non-fossil determination method. The evidence document list is not informative ("unknown"), limiting traceability for external reviewers.
Claim Safety
Because the baseline method, leakage approach, and key quantified outputs (claimed/verified totals) are not stated in the extracted record, there is elevated risk that credits could be perceived as overstated or not reproducible by third parties. The verification report (2022-05-24) reporting no material findings helps, but it does not substitute for missing public-facing quantification and methodological clarity. CORSIA eligibility and CCP status are not stated in the extracted record, so buyers cannot easily assess cross-program claim risks.
Documentation
A verification report dated 2022-05-24 is present and names the verifier, and the extraction confidence is medium, suggesting the document was at least partially readable. However, the extracted record lacks many core fields (methodology, baseline, additionality, leakage, quantified results), and the evidence documents are not clearly identified (listed as "unknown"). With only two documents used, the documentation set appears incomplete for a robust quality assessment.
Overall
No contradictions were identified in the extracted record, so scores are driven primarily by evidence gaps rather than conflicting statements. The most material weaknesses are the absence of stated additionality, baseline, leakage, and verified totals, which collectively increase over-crediting and greenwashing risk despite a named VVB and a clean findings section in the verification report (2022-05-24). Note: if documentation were scored below 3.0, transparency would be capped by the gate rule; and if integrity were below 4.0, the overall score would be capped at 6.0 (applied post-scoring).
Audit Analysis
The project has a third-party verifier identified and reports no material findings for the 2021 monitoring period, but key integrity elements (additionality, baseline approach, and leakage treatment) are not stated in the extracted record. A 10% buffer pool is noted, yet reversal risk and how the buffer is applied are not evidenced. Overall, the evidence base is too thin to support high-confidence climate 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 verifier are not stated in the extracted record.
- Baseline method and any reassessment timing are not stated in the extracted record, increasing over-crediting risk.
- Leakage deduction and justification are not stated in the extracted record for a biomass/alternative materials project type.
- No verified emissions reduction/removal total is available in the extracted record for the 2021 monitoring period.

Cosa migliorerebbe questo punteggio
- Publish or provide the underlying methodology/baseline description and the additionality demonstration as referenced in the verification package, including when the baseline was last reassessed.
- Disclose the quantified claimed and verified totals for the 2021 monitoring period and the key calculation inputs (including leakage treatment and any fossil/non-fossil determination approach) with clear document references.
Questi suggerimenti indicano quali prove pubbliche aggiuntive potrebbero migliorare il livello di confidenza di questa valutazione. Non garantiscono un punteggio futuro più alto.
