As the SARA (South American Regenerative Agriculture) programme nears its first carbon credit issuance under Verra, we invite you to join us in unpacking how this leading-edge initiative delivers meaningful climate, nature, and social outcomes. Together with our partner Ruuts, we explore how SARA is pioneering scalable, high-integrity solutions at the nexus of regenerative grazing, ecosystem restoration, and rural livelihoods. 

Officially validated and registered by Verra, SARA became one of the first programmes globally to be approved under the new VM0042 methodology – and the first-ever in Argentina, Paraguay, and Chile. This milestone unlocks the potential to generate over one million tonnes of carbon removals annually, starting in the coming years.

The programme already encompasses 130+ farms across 150,000 hectares, targeting expansion to 500,000 hectares of regenerated lands across Latin America.

About this webinar

This session was designed for sustainability leaders, investors, and organisations seeking credible, high-impact nature-based solutions that go beyond carbon – delivering real-world climate, biodiversity, and community outcomes. It covered:

• Impact to date and future projections: Insight into verified and forecasted carbon removals, biodiversity gains, landscape restoration, and wider ecosystem benefits.
• Societal value: How SARA empowers farmers through knowledge sharing, enhances climate resilience, and strengthens local economies.
• How the framework works: Learnings about the regenerative grazing model, soil carbon measurement, ecological monitoring, and the MRV (Measurement, Reporting, and Verification) systems that underpin SARA’s integrity.
• SARA’s journey and registration success: What Verra registration means for credibility, scalability, and access to high-quality carbon markets.
• Investment insights: How your organisation can invest in SARA through high-integrity carbon credits via Anthesis, and how this supports your climate, nature, and sustainability goals.

Listen to the webinar to learn how you can engage with SARA and similar initiatives to advance your own sustainability goals.

As regulatory, market, and stakeholder expectations rapidly evolve, greenhouse gas (GHG) accounting – guided by frameworks such as the GHG Protocol – is becoming more complex and more critical than ever.

Organisations face growing pressure to measure and disclose emissions with accuracy, transparency, and accountability, while also demonstrating tangible progress in reducing their carbon footprint.

With the GHG Protocol currently open for consultation on its Scope 2 guidance, now is the time to review and align reporting practices with emerging updates.

This webinar will explore the key shifts shaping the reporting landscape, including:

• New Regulatory Requirements: Explore the implications of emerging disclosure mandates, including California’s SB 253, the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), the SEC’s proposed climate disclosure rules, the ISSB standards (IFRS S1 & S2), and updates to the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, all of which are setting new expectations for corporate climate reporting and assurance.
• Data Integrity and Assurance: Learn how to prepare GHG inventories and disclosures for increased scrutiny, from assurance requirements under CSRD to the audit-ready expectations of investors and regulators.
• Technology for Assurance and Performance: Learn how Anthesis’ digital solutions underpin credible, audit-ready disclosures by connecting sustainability data across your organisation. Acting as your sustainability data backbone, our digital tools turn complex, fragmented data into actionable intelligence – delivering the clarity, confidence, and performance needed to stay ahead in a rapidly evolving reporting landscape.

About this webinar

Whether you are navigating early-stage compliance or refining a mature sustainability strategy, this session will equip you with the insights and tools to stay ahead of shifting requirements and deliver measurable climate impact.

Mind the Gap: The Purpose Gap is back and it’s getting worse.

But what does this mean for your organisation?

Our latest research reveals that two-thirds of employees would consider leaving over the purpose gap — and 1 in 5 are actively thinking about it right now.

This webinar offers a chance to catch up on the key findings from Purpose Gap 2025 — and hear directly from the experts behind the research.

About this webinar

What are businesses missing out on when they fall quiet over environmental initiatives – or even worse, start deprioritising them all together? 

It’s something Revolt – part of Anthesis – has explored in its most recent report, that answers critical questions like: 

• A 30-minute briefing on the Purpose Gap 2025 report
• Insights into the growing disconnect between purpose statements and lived employee experience
• The business risks associated with allowing the gap to grow in your organisation
• Practical ideas for how leaders can close the gap
• A live Q&A session with the Anthesis team

In this session, our Chief Strategy Officer, Freya Williams, will take you through our latest research and insights gleaned from examining 525 businesses across 16 industries over three years. 

Join Anthesis experts for a dynamic and forward-looking webinar exploring how private equity firms can strategically engage with the Voluntary Carbon Market (VCM).

Building on the foundational iCI Private Equity VCM Guidance, this session will unpack the evolving landscape of carbon credit procurement, investment opportunities, and nature-based solutions.

What to expect

• Interpreting the VCM landscape for Private Equity: Gain clarity on the foundational principles of the iCI Private Equity Voluntary Carbon Market Guidance, co-developed by Initiative Climat International (iCI) and Anthesis, to help private market participants align with net zero ambitions.
• Building a carbon credit strategy: Explore a structured, seven-step approach to carbon credit procurement, offering a practical framework for engaging responsibly and effectively with the Voluntary Carbon Market.
• Carbon as an investment opportunity: Understand how carbon projects can be integrated into private equity strategies, enabling firms to deliver both financial returns and measurable climate impact.
• Real life examples: Discover how Anthesis’ AgriCarbon Programme is leveraging carbon revenues to de-risk and scale nature-based projects, demonstrating the tangible impact of effective carbon strategies in action.
• Nature-based solutions on the horizon: Dive into emerging themes and future directions in nature-based initiatives, and their potential to shape long-term sustainability and climate resilience in private markets.

Who should watch?

This session is ideal for private equity professionals, ESG and sustainability leads, and impact-focused investors seeking to deepen their understanding of the VCM and its strategic relevance.

Anthesis is delighted to sponsor the Responsible Investment Forum Europe 2025, hosted by Private Equity International. This prestigious annual event, held in London, connects leading institutional investors, fund managers and expert advisors from across the continent to discuss the future of sustainable investment strategies.

Anthesis experts will share insights on how sustainability helps drive returns, from influencing deal teams and engaging portfolio companies to embedding ESG in investment decisions. We’ll also explore how to build climate and nature resilient portfolios, highlighting practical strategies to assess risks, strengthen resilience, and create long-term value. Our team will be attending in-person to discuss industry insights, ESG value creation opportunities, and equity narratives for exit readiness.

What a wonderful evening – we were thrilled with the energy and engagement at the Purpose Gap launch event. From the moment guests arrived, the atmosphere was one of curiosity, connection, and shared commitment to driving purposeful change in business.

A particular highlight was the Q&A session, which evolved into a spontaneous and wide-ranging conversation among attendees. It was inspiring to see so many voices contributing to a thoughtful and honest dialogue about the challenges and opportunities surrounding corporate purpose today.

Some of the key themes that emerged included:

• Legal frameworks and accountability: There is currently no legal obligation for companies to embed purpose in their articles of association, raising questions about how to formalise and protect purpose-driven strategies.
• Measuring purpose: Attendees agreed that showing purpose as something measurable is powerful. While hard metrics may be elusive, identifying clear indicators can help organisations track progress and impact.
• Board education and leadership: Educating boards on the strategic value of purpose is crucial. Many felt that purpose has taken a back seat in recent years, and reframing it as a core business driver – not a trade-off – is essential. Attendees felt they need the tools to help with this repositioning.
• Operational integration: Purpose should run through operational strategy, not sit apart from it. Framing it as a binary choice or a cost is unhelpful; instead, it should be seen as a lens through which all decisions are made.
• Financial impact and storytelling: Although executive teams often struggle to settle on the financial implications of purpose, the group discussed the importance of better data, evidence, and storytelling to make the case internally.
• Sector-specific challenges: purpose can be seen as a new topic for C-suites and boards to have to take into consideration and it’s easy for them to fall back into the muscle memory of financial targets and P&Ls.  With many of the fastest growing sectors facing increasing regulatory compliance and material risk, purpose initiatives can require fresh thinking in order to stay relevant and front of mind, when there can be other, seemingly more urgent , fires to fight.

We’re so grateful to everyone who joined us and contributed to such a rich and meaningful evening.

Stay on the right side of Canada’s new green claims regulations while still standing out from the crowd

Environmental marketing is big business in Canada, but consumer trust in green claims is at an all time low. To address this, the Canadian Government updated its Competition Act, introducing new provisions affecting when and how companies can make environmental marketing claims about their products, services, operations, and future commitments.

In this webinar, Anthesis experts break down the new legal landscape, the role of the Competition Bureau in enforcement, what its recently published guidance tells us, and what these changes mean for businesses operating in or selling into Canada.

Whether you’re leading ESG strategy, shaping brand and comms, or responsible for managing risk, this session will help you stay on the right side of Canada’s new green claims regulations, and to stand out on a much quieter field with impactful green claims. 

About this webinar

On June 5th, 2025, Canada’s Competition Bureau published new environmental claims guidance based on amendments to the Competition Act, which came into force in June 2024.

While Canada’s approach aligns with global efforts to address greenwashing, it goes further by directly targeting “greenwishing” – future-facing environmental targets or commitments made without credible delivery plans or follow-through.

In this session, Anthesis experts explore what these changes mean for your business, and how you can still make the most out of your green claims.

Listen back to our webinar to discover the hidden price brands pay for staying silent over environmental sustainability.   

63% of FTSE 100 companies are at risk of greenhushing over concerns about corporate greenwashing.  

With increased scrutiny over green claims, public backlash, and at times legal action, it’s no wonder businesses can be hesitant to shout about their environmental initiatives.   

But the cost of silence is real.   

It’s something Revolt – part of Anthesis – has explored in its most recent report, The Cost of Silence.   

About this webinar

Hosted by our Chief Strategy Officer, Freya Williams, and Senior Strategy Director, Olly Lawder, they answer critical questions like:   

• Does investment in environmental sustainability provide a financial return?   
• Does communicating sustainability provide a reputational return?   
• How do I communicate sustainability in a non-polarising way? 

Extended producer responsibility for packaging has arrived in the United States and is evolving in Canada. For many producers, this is the first time they have had to report on the packaging introduced into a specific state or province. 

In this informative webinar, Anthesis packaging EPR experts address what we’ve learned so far in helping clients to define their methodology, gather their numbers, and submit on-time reports for Oregon’s EPR laws. The webinar covers what to do, what not to do, and what to consider as packaging EPR programs come on-line.

Our experts focus on:

• The evolving EPR landscape in North America
• The reporting cycle and how to navigate through it
• How to assemble packaging data for maximum utility and minimum frustration
• What to do if your data is in need of an uplift
• How to move beyond compliance with strategies for optimization
• What’s coming up, fast

If you sell products and use packaging within North America, then you may be affected by upcoming EPR programs and legislation. Watch the webinar recording to learn more about the next steps you can take to prepare.

As the voluntary carbon market evolves, the stakes are higher than ever for businesses sourcing carbon credits responsibly. A well-crafted request-for-proposal (RFP) is both your first line of defence against reputational risk and a powerful tool for ensuring climate integrity.

In this 45-minute webinar, Anthesis carbon market experts Christopher Hakes and Jonas Debroyer, together with Maria Eugenia Filmanovic from Abatable, will explain how to design a high-quality carbon credit RFP that aligns with your Net Zero strategy and meets growing stakeholder expectations.

By attending this webinar, you’ll learn

• Real-world examples and insights from recent client engagements
• Why carbon credits should complement – not replace -emissions reductions
• Key components of a credible and effective carbon credit RFP
• How to assess project types, standards, and co-benefits
• Common mistakes to avoid in the procurement process

California’s SB 261 is more than a regulatory requirement—it’s a catalyst for business transformation and resilience.

As mandatory climate-related financial disclosures become a reality, companies have a choice: treat SB 261 as a box-ticking exercise, or use it to build resilience, strengthen reputation, and lead in a rapidly shifting marketplace. Companies that use responding to SB 261 as a strategic tool as well as a compliance obligation will be better positioned to meet fast evolving regulatory and stakeholder demands globally.

At Anthesis, we see SB 261 as an opportunity to embed climate risk into core business strategy, unlock innovation, and strengthen resilience. This webinar is designed for companies who want to understand the road to compliance, as well as those interested in going beyond compliance—to embed climate risk into their governance structures and business strategy, unlock innovation, and gain a competitive advantage.

With our deep expertise in climate risk and high-integrity disclosure, Anthesis helps businesses navigate SB 261 not only as a compliance challenge, but also as an opportunity to lead in the low-carbon, nature-positive economy.

In this session, we explore how to:

• Prepare for an initial SB 261 disclosure in January 2026 and for what will likely be more prescriptive requirements for the second mandatory disclosure in 2028
• Lead your sector by responding to SB 261 with transparency, clarity, and ambition
• Embed climate risk into your enterprise strategy and decision-making
• Strengthen investor and stakeholder confidence through credible, forward-looking disclosures
• Build internal alignment and cross-functional ownership of climate risk
• Turn complex regulatory demands into a springboard for long-term resilience and growth

The UK is on track to introduce mandatory climate-related financial disclosures under the new UK Sustainability Reporting Standards (UK SRS), aligned with the global International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) framework (IFRS S1 and S2). While the standards are still in draft, with the public consultation open until September 2025, organisations that are likely to be affected should start preparing now to strengthen their reporting readiness and long-term resilience.  

In this timely webinar, we explored the draft UK SRS S1 and S2 standards and their implications for your organisation, whether you’re likely to be captured by mandatory reporting requirements or looking to align voluntarily to meet stakeholder and supply chain expectations. We also explored how early action can help future-proof your business resilience.  

Our experts shared valuable insights on:

• An introduction into the UK SRS and ISSB
• Key disclosure requirement and implementation 
• Practical next steps to prepare

Anthesis Ireland Connect is an ongoing event series that brings together sustainability leaders from across Ireland to openly discuss the challenges, opportunities, and realities of driving sustainability in today’s complex business landscape.

Created as a pre-competitive, inclusive space, each session convenes a small group of professionals for candid conversation, peer learning, and meaningful networking. The series focuses on the issues that matter most to practitioners — from embedding sustainability in business models to navigating cultural change, influencing senior stakeholders, and responding to shifting regulatory and market expectations.

How the series works

Every few months, Anthesis hosts an in-person roundtable featuring:

• A curated group of 10–15 sustainability professionals
• One or two thematic focus areas chosen by the group
• Facilitated peer-to-peer discussion
• Insight sharing from Anthesis experts and research
• Opportunities for ongoing connection beyond the event

Each session builds on the discussions of previous events, allowing the group to track emerging trends, revisit shared challenges, and explore evolving solutions over time.

• Provides a forward-looking discussion on likely final outcomes, industry readiness, and pragmatic next steps for brands and suppliers

According to new research, nearly three quarters of leaders need to be better equipped to lead in the current economic, geopolitical, and environmental uncertainty. But at a time when the role of climate leadership is more vital – and more complex – than ever, what qualities do leaders need now?

This London Climate Action Week, we hosted a thought-provoking webinar exploring what employees and organisations need from climate leaders today — and the strategies you can adopt to lead with purpose, whatever your role.

Hosted by Ben Hayman (Executive Director, Anthesis Group), the session drew on insights from the Anthesis report ‘Leading Through Uncertainty’ and brought together influential voices in the climate space. Speakers included:

• Aida Cierco, Group Sustainability Director, Klöckner Pentaplast
• Erik Fernholm, Co-Founder, Inner Development Goals

Together, they shared practical strategies and inner capabilities leaders need to steer organisations and systems towards sustainability and purpose-led impact.

As the world responds to accelerating climate change and biodiversity loss, it’s becoming increasingly clear: environmental risks are financial risks.

Join Anthesis for this timely webinar exploring the growing interconnection between climate and nature-related threats and financial performance. From supply chain disruptions and resource scarcity to regulatory shifts and investor expectations, businesses are under mounting pressure to understand and act on their exposure to climate and nature risk.

During the webinar, we’ll explore:

• How climate and nature degradation translate into material financial impacts
• Why integrating climate and nature risk into governance and strategy is critical for resilience
• What leading companies are doing to future-proof operations, protect asset value, build resilient value chains, and maintain stakeholder trust

This session will help you connect the dots between environmental impact and enterprise value, and provide practical insight into building a business that is fit for the future.

As organisations accelerate their net zero journeys, choosing credible, science-aligned solutions for reducing emissions is critical. Energy Attribute Certificates (EACs) / Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) play a key role in enabling clean energy procurement and reducing Scope 2 emissions in a transparent, traceable way.

RECs / EACs provide an immediate pathway to support the energy transition and can play a pivotal role in your organisation’s decarbonisation roadmap.

In this webinar, you’ll explore how to:

• Understand the fundamentals of RECs / EACs, and their role in verifying renewable energy consumption
• Integrate clean electricity sourcing into your wider climate strategy — from green tariffs to longer-term Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs/VPPAs)
• Align your renewable energy claims with recognised reporting standards (GHG Protocol, Re100, SBTi)
• Prepare yourself for upcoming changes to the treatment of RECs/EACs under the GHG Protocol.
• Evaluate emerging offerings from the next generation of EACs, including 24/7 matching, emissionality-based offerings, and high-impact certificates with stronger claims of additionality.
• Make informed, credible decisions that support real decarbonisation and climate activation across your value chain

As climate risk intensifies and stakeholder expectations rise, companies are under growing pressure to decarbonise their value chains while delivering meaningful impact for nature and communities. Insetting offers a powerful opportunity to do both – by investing in carbon and nature-based interventions within your own supply chain, as buyer of raw materials, and retailer, as well as for farmers and suppliers.

Join Anthesis for a practical and thought-provoking webinar exploring how insetting can drive measurable climate and nature outcomes, build supply chain resilience, and unlock long-term business value.

What you’ll learn:

• What insetting is – and what it isn’t: Understand how insetting differs from offsetting, and why it’s gaining traction as a high-integrity, value-aligned climate strategy. 
• Anthesis’ approach to insetting: Learn how we co-design and implement insetting programmes that are credible, science-aligned, and tailored to each client’s unique supply chain and sustainability goals. 
• Driving impact for climate and nature: Explore how insetting delivers emissions reductions or carbon removals and nature-positive outcomes – from soil health and water security to biodiversity and community resilience. 
• Real-world examples: Hear how Anthesis is supporting global brands to develop insetting strategies across agriculture, food & beverage, textiles, and more. 
• Connecting insetting to broader climate action: See how insetting fits within Scope 3 reduction strategies, SBTi FLAG guidance, and emerging regulatory and market frameworks. 

This session is ideal for sustainability, procurement, and supply chain leaders looking to embed climate and nature action into the core of their business operations.

Heavy industry faces one of the most complex challenges in the transition to net-zero – balancing commercial performance with the need to rapidly reduce emissions and environmental impact. With mounting pressure from regulators, investors, and customers, now is the time for bold, practical action.

This online webinar is ideal for sustainability leads, operations directors, engineers and corporate strategists looking to turn ambition into action – by embedding credible, science-based decarbonisation into the heart of your business in a practical way.

The EU’s REACH Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 came in to force nearly 20 years ago and has been evolving ever since then. One key principle of REACH is “no data, no market” which places obligations on chemical manufacturers and importers to identify and manage their risks throughout the lifecycle.

Those companies manufacturing or importing chemicals at 1 tonne/year or more (on their own, or in mixtures or articles), must submit a Registration dossier to the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) – without this, they may not be able to access the market. To date, nearly 23,000 unique chemicals have been registered with ECHA. 

About this webinar

This webinar provides a practical overview of the steps involved in the Registration process, specifically for existing substances, also known as “Co-registration”. We provide estimates on costs and timelines for each step, highlighting where issues can occur and delays can be anticipated and avoided. 

We also explore the various exclusions and exemptions that may be applicable to certain chemicals and that should be assessed before jumping in to a Registration. 

Note, the Lead Registration process for new and novel chemicals will be covered in a future webinar, although some of the steps are very similar. 

The EU’s Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) and the implementation of Digital Product Passports (DPPs) are set to have notable impacts on the tech and electronics sector in the coming months and years. In this action-oriented webinar, our sustainability experts outline how to prepare your business for upcoming changes and deadlines.

Key insights are shared on:

• How ESPR and Digital Product Passports will disrupt tech and electronics – from design requirements to data systems.
• An analysis of what we do and do not know at the present time.
• How early movers are using ESPR as a catalyst for digital transformation, circularity, and product innovation.
• Clear actions to prepare your product data, internal teams, and compliance strategy for the digital product future.

The confirmed two-year delay for CSRD reporting for some organisations offers more breathing room but also raises new questions. In a landscape of shifting political and economic pressures, how can companies stay on track without losing momentum? 

This is a practical and insight-led webinar designed to help you turn this delay into a strategic advantage. We explored how to use the extra time wisely, align with wider regulatory shifts, and prepare a value-driven approach to compliance and reporting. 

In the session, we shared: 

• How organisations are responding to the CSRD delay and what it means in practice 
• Early learnings from the first wave of CSRD reports: what worked, and what teams would do differently 
• A step-by-step roadmap to 2028/2029 readiness 
• Low-risk, high-value actions you can take now to maintain momentum and maximise the value from the compliance process 

Whether the delay directly affects your timeline or you’re reassessing your approach in light of the EU Omnibus (CSRD, CSDDD, EU Taxonomy), this session will equip you with practical next steps, peer insights, and clarity on how to act now, while you still have time.

This webinar is essential for private equity professionals, sustainability officers, and investors seeking to understand and engage with the VCM effectively.

As organisations strive to meet ambitious net zero targets, securing access to renewable energy is essential in the decarbonisation journey. Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) present a strategic solution, allowing businesses to directly procure clean electricity from renewable energy generators. This not only ensures long-term price stability but also helps reduce carbon footprints and accelerates the transition to a sustainable, low-carbon economy.

This insightful webinar introduces the fundamentals of PPAs, their significance in corporate sustainability strategies, and how organisations can integrate them effectively into a decarbonisation roadmap.

Discover

• What are PPAs? We elaborate on the different types of PPAs; such as Physical and Virtual PPAs, and the benefits that each can offer.
• Why PPAs matter. Examples of how PPAs can specifically reduce emissions and stabilise costs with real-world case studies where possible.
• How to Get Started. Key considerations for businesses looking to enter a PPA: conducting an energy audit, setting realistic decarbonisation targets, risk assessments and engaging with developers.
• Market Trends and Opportunities. Insights into the evolving PPA landscape, including some regulatory obstacles and accounting challenges (i.e. IFRS-9 and treatment of PPAs as a derivative on a company’s P&L).

The European Commission has announced a new package of proposals aimed at streamlining sustainability reporting requirements. While these changes are still subject to legislative approval, businesses are left navigating an uncertain landscape—having already committed resources and needing clarity on how to move forward.

This special webinar is designed to help you confidently navigate this evolving space and answer any questions you may have.

Our expert panel discusses:

• The proposed changes, with a particular focus on the CSRD and its potential impact on businesses
• The timeline for legislative approval and what happens next
• How to address internal conversations around sustainability investments amid uncertainty
• Strategies to maintain momentum and make the business case for sustainability without regulatory clarity

During this webinar series, the Anthesis panel welcomed Michael Littenberg, Partner, and Marc Rotter, Counsel, at multinational law firm Ropes and Gray.

Is your business ready for CBAM carbon pricing in 2026?

While many CBAM-affected businesses have concentrated on compliance, data collection and reporting are just the surface of the challenge.

From 2026, CBAM carbon pricing will come into force, progressively increasing the cost of CBAM-covered goods imported into the EU. This shift will carry significant financial implications for both EU importers and non-EU exporters.

Proactive businesses that assess and mitigate their CBAM exposure today can not only reduce risks but also strengthen their competitive advantage. Inaction, however, leaves businesses navigating without a clear course.

About this webinar

This practical, business-focused webinar provides actionable insights to help your organisation move beyond compliance and prepare for the real financial impact of CBAM.

Our CBAM experts cover:

• CBAM refresh – CBAM’s purpose, data collection and reporting requirements
• How CBAM pricing works – cost calculations, who pays, how and when
• Assessing your exposure – how to understand and quantify your financial risk
• Mitigation strategies – data-driven approaches and supplier engagement
• Competitive advantage – reducing costs while staying ahead in the market

The EU Emissions Trading System (ETS) is evolving to accelerate progress toward the EU’s climate goals of a 55% emissions reduction by 2030 and net zero by 2050.

ETS-2, set to launch in 2027, represents a significant expansion by targeting CO₂ emissions from fuel combustion in transport, as well as heating and cooling for buildings. 

This means that indirect, Scope 3 emissions from the fossil fuel industry will also be addressed. With the potential to extend coverage to additional sectors through national opt-in policies, ETS-2 will regulate a broader share of EU emissions, driving the transition towards clean energy solutions and technologies.

This upstream system places the responsibility for CO₂ allowances on fuel suppliers, creating incentives to invest in cleaner fuels, electrification, and decarbonisation strategies. However, ETS-2 introduces unique challenges, including its implications for Scope 3 emissions, the likelihood of high CO₂ prices, cost pass-through to consumers, and higher marginal CO₂ abatement costs compared to ETS-1.

About this webinar

This webinar will provide clarity on ETS-2 and its role in shaping the future of emissions reduction in the EU. Participants will gain actionable insights to:

• Navigate the ETS-2 framework and its reporting requirements 
• Strategically align their business operations to comply and thrive under the new system
• Identify opportunities for investment in clean energy and carbon reduction technologies 
• Understand the impact of ETS-2 on fuel supply chains and end-user costs 

RECs/EACs are documents that prove electricity was produced from renewable sources like wind, solar, or hydro power. When companies buy RECs/EACs, they demonstrate their commitment to clean energy. These certificates guarantee that an equivalent amount of renewable electricity has been generated and fed into the grid, even if their energy provider does not supply it directly. 

This approach is an important part of a Net Zero transition, reducing your Scope 2 emissions in line with mandatory legislation and voluntary reporting standards.

In this webinar, you will:

• Gain a clear understanding of the fundamentals of purchasing and utilising RECs/EACs.
• Discover how RECs/EACs align with green tariffs and their role in sustainability strategies.
• Identify the most suitable options for your organisation, whether unbundled RECs/EACs or longer-term commitments like PPAs/VPPAs.
• Learn about reporting requirements for RECs/EACs.
• Explore emerging offerings such as 24/7 reporting, emissionality and additionality-focused RECs/EACs. 

Join Patrick Swords, Principal Carbon and Renewable Energy Advisor, for a deep dive to gain knowledge that supports your company’s renewable energy goals.
