Credit Where It’s Due: Carbon Credits Under Evolving Climate Standards

How can companies use high-integrity carbon credits on the journey to net zero while staying focused on reducing value chain emissions? What should guide the scale and type of a company’s contribution, and how should its portfolio evolve with decarbonization progress?

SBTi’s Corporate Net-Zero Standard V2.0 introduces an Ongoing Emissions Responsibility program that recognizes companies for financing climate action beyond the value chain throughout their net-zero journey, not only once they arrive. Credits can’t substitute for value chain reductions, but they now have a clearer place in a credible strategy, with tiered recognition and a mix of near-term mitigation and carbon removals. Get a practical look at how the program works, and leave with steps for building a portfolio of high-integrity carbon credits that evolves alongside your decarbonization progress.
