After reviewing the final SEC climate-related disclosure rule, we will walk you through the key aspects, implementation timing, and more.
In a time where the urgency to combat climate change has never been greater, innovative solutions are rising to the forefront of the voluntary carbon market (VCM). Among these, biochar has captured the attention of organizations, policymakers, and sustainability advocates alike, not because it’s innovative and relatively new to the market, but for its ability […]
Almost 2.5 years after the Science-based Targets Initiative (SBTi) first introduced the concept of “Beyond Value Chain Mitigation” in its Corporate Net-Zero Standard, this week the prominent climate standards organization released its detailed Beyond Value Chain Mitigation guidance, totaling nearly 200 pages. To contribute to “Beyond Value Chain Mitigation” (BVCM), companies support efforts to reduce […]
What is carbon insetting and how does insetting work? Companies are diligently working to reduce their direct emissions and energy purchases—known as scope 1 and scope 2 emissions—to meet corporate sustainability targets. However, the majority of emissions for most organizations stem from indirect sources within their extensive value chains, categorized as scope 3 emissions. Carbon […]
Last updated: 2/15/2024 As organizations and government entities edge closer to their net-zero goal timelines, the urgency for immediate action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) intensifies. One key measure that is becoming more popular is the implementation of state and national Clean Fuel Standard (CFS) programs. By design, these initiatives intend to reduce the […]
Recorded May 2nd, 2024 A special lunch & learn where we explored the essentials of biochar, a cutting-edge carbon removal technology that is quickly gaining attention across the industry. What you’ll learn: The Science of Biochar: Understand how biochar is produced and how it functions as a carbon removal tool. Environmental Benefits: Explore how biochar […]
The double materiality assessment (DMA) and successful stakeholder engagement are crucial to corporate sustainability reporting.
The land sector could contribute up to 37% of all emissions reductions and removals needed through 2030. To accelerate that mitigation and stimulate climate action in the private sector, the Science Based Target initiative (SBTi) released guidance for how corporations that have Forest Land and Agriculture (FLAG) designated sectors in their value chain can reduce […]
Learn more about guarantees of origin (GOs) and how purchasing them is one way many companies in Europe are meeting sustainability goals, namely scope 2 targets.
How do carbon credits work and how can companies purchase carbon credits? Setting and achieving corporate climate targets is a laudable yet challenging goal. As much as you may want to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, transitioning to net zero can take decades. However, buying carbon credits can help you compensate for emissions that you […]
The climate action journey is long, and luckily numerous companies have already gotten started. Many are taking steps to address their scope 2 electricity emissions through implementing energy efficiency, purchasing energy attribute certificates (EACs), executing power purchase agreements (PPAs), or other measures. While that’s a great start, most organizations’ scope 3, or indirect emissions, make […]
One of the more difficult places to make meaningful reductions is in scope 3, not just because of its size, but also due in part to the emissions falling outside of an organization’s direct control. However, organizations that collaborate with their suppliers will be in a stronger position to implement successful value chain interventions and […]
