Dear John,

Evaluating the Use of Carbon Credits: Critical questions for financial institutions when engaging with companies

2021 saw an increase in corporate net zero commitments, which in turn drove unprecedented growth in the voluntary carbon market. This activity generated new scrutiny of corporate net zero commitments, with some companies accused of delaying action and relying too heavily on offsetting to reduce emissions. The integrity of these net zero commitments is more important than ever, as a new report from the IPCC released yesterday warns that, if emissions are not swiftly reduced, the planet, people and economy will experience unprecedented harm as a result of the changing climate.

Today, Ceres released a new report: “Evaluating the Use of Carbon Credits: Critical questions for financial institutions when engaging with companies”, which unpacks some of the complexity by providing guardrails on the use of carbon credits and delving into areas where guidance is lacking, such as social and environmental safeguards.

Download the Report

Join Ceres experts at 11am ET today, March 1st, as we explore the new guidance in the report, including the role of emission reductions and carbon removals in achieving the goals of the Paris Agreement and the importance of social and environmental safeguards to high-quality carbon credits.

Thank you,
