Webinar overview:
Growing numbers of leading companies are using internal carbon prices and budgets to provide a framework for their decarbonisation strategies. But what are the pros and cons of such an approach, and how can companies be sure they have set their carbon price at the right level?
This exclusive webinar, hosted in association with Patch, will provide an invaluable insight into how internal carbon budgets and prices work, how they can help companies develop more effective strategies and that up level their climate leadership.
The session will discuss why companies are integrating carbon pricing into their climate strategies, best practices for setting an effective carbon price, and how the approach can inform a company’s use of carbon credits. It will also provide an introduction into how internal carbon budgets can be paired with leading mechanisms like Oxford Offsetting Principles to shape either robust compensation or valuable contribution approach to carbon credit purchases. The webinar will include:
- An overview of how to set an internal carbon price and budget.
- A discussion of the merits and pitfalls of internal carbon prices.
- Case study examples of how leading businesses are setting internal carbon budgets.
- An overview of how carbon prices can be leveraged for compensation or contributions approaches, paired with mechanisms like Oxford Offsetting Principles
- Beyond Value Chain Mitigation.
- An interactive Q&A session.
