Prominently Thanks everyone for your input. I decided to stick with "prominently" in my final translation, and this has been accepted by the customer. (Full sentence: Reputational risks are likewise believed to be low, as carbon offsetting is usually not communicated prominently and the quality of the credits purchased is considered to be high).

In that case ... ... just strike out "reporting": "In most cases, carbon compensation does not take (high) priority [does not figure prominently] in corporate communications ...".

@Steffen & for further context The "..." covers two sentences that clarify that it's interviewed companies buying carbon credits whose beliefs are reflected in the final sentence (i.e. these companies believe that reputation risks are low, etc.). Perhaps that was relevant context afterall ...

Thanks for all the contributions so far. I'm still struggling to understand what exactly is meant by "first level", so I'm currently inclined to stick with my idea of "prominently". I don't think that "reporting" is a good fit on this occasion, BTW, as I don't want to confuse marketing (which is what's meant here) with actual environmental reporting. Again, sorry if that wasn't clear.

Steffen Walter Sep 4, 2023:

On a side note, ... ... how about "In most cases, reporting on carbon compensation does not take (high) priority [does not figure prominently] in corporate communications"? That said, it would be interesting to see the part you omitted (...) to establish the logical link between the first sentence and the rest of your paragraph.

Based on the rest of the sentence, your suggestion of 'prominently' makes sense - the reputational risk is low because the offsets don't make headlines. That would be my guess.
