Carbon Trading 101
This webinar has now passed
As companies and other organisations continue to move towards net-zero or carbon neutral commitments, and there is greater scrutiny as to how those commitments will be achieved, it will become increasingly more important for companies and organisations to have a well-constructed implementation strategy to achieve such outcomes. It is likely to be inevitable, as part of the transition to a net-zero economy, that some element of offsetting will be required. To be effective, offsetting strategies will need to be able to demonstrate rigour and integrity in terms of the purchase of carbon credits, as well as cost efficiency.
There are different ways to purchase carbon credits, including through spot and forward contracts. It is important that trading strategies have regard to market supply and demand dynamics and price volatility as well as the quality of the credits being purchased.
This session will provide an overview of such matters as:
- Developing an offsetting strategy
- Understanding different carbon credits and sourcing options
- How to approach due diligence and management of offset supply and pricing risks
- The difference between spot and forward contracts
- Managing Climate Active Commitments
- Legal issues to be aware of in contracting
