Investigating the relationship between carbon credits purchases and corporate climate ambition

In this study, we assess the challenges and prospects of investigating whether and how the use of carbon credits affects corporate internal emission reductions. To this end, we review the existing literature related to the use of carbon credits and corporate emission reductions, conduct qualitative interviews, and investigate the possibility of developing a study design for assessing whether the use of carbon credits has a causal effect on internal emission reductions.
