ALFED CEO, Nadine Bloxsome has a busy week lined up as #LMEWeek got underway yesterday!🙌 But, in and amongst it, she attended yesterday's CarbonChain Breakfast Briefing in London where they announced the launch of their latest whitepaper: From compliant to competitive- How Metals and Energy Companies are Turning Carbon Data Into a Market Advantage! The whitepaper explores how leading companies in #Metals and energy are doing exactly that — turning #Carbon data into more than just a compliance tool. Discover how forward-thinking firms are using carbon insights to: ✅Meet and exceed regulatory requirements ✅Capitalise on growing demand for low-carbon materials ✅Secure a ‘green premium’ and stand out in the market To learn more, you can download the whitepaper on #CarbonChain's website➡️https://lnkd.in/e5ztMKHD #Whitepaper #CarbonData #UKMetals #LMEWeek2024
LME Week is underway! It has become a tradition over recent years to open LME Week with the CarbonChain Networking Breakfast and this year is no exception. Gathering at the Royal Air Force Club, London, the CarbonChain panel discussion focussed on the challenges of sharing carbon emissions data and how banks can support metals traders. Adam Hearne, CEO and Co-Founder said: “Carbon is becoming a currency in metals trading,” and attendees were informed that ‘where the customers are, drives the regulations to follow.’ It seemed poignant to highlight the importance that #aluminium and metals will play in a more sustainable world, on a day where the U.K. will close its last remaining coal fired power plant. Metals will be needed more than ever to electrify and it will be interesting to see how carbon plays out in this transition as a ‘competitive advantage’.
