Sustainable Cards: Acting for the Earth - and the bottom line 💳 🌳 💰 Two-thirds of consumers expect their bank to take action on the environment -including payment cards. Find out why sustainable cards make sense - and how to make them happen: https://bit.ly/3LbMciQ #SustainableCards #ConsumerExpectations #TietoevryBanking

 📈 The Voluntary Carbon Credit Market reached a value of USD 2.4 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow at a rate exceeding 27% by 2032. 🌱 Factors such as the expansion of carbon pricing mechanisms and growing demand for corporate sustainability initiatives, supported by favorable government policies, are driving this growth. Here is a brief Voluntary Carbon Credit Market Overview of 2023 👇 #carboncredit #carboncreditmarket #greenfinance #greenbonds #custainability #renewableenergy #emissionsreduction

"Nature doesn't use credit. Credit is essentially a mechanism that allows a rate of consumption to exceed the rate of renewal." #BeyondCarbon #FromCarbonCreditsToCarbonSuccession 1. What would our ECO-nomic transactions look like if relationships not money were the bottom line? 2. How can relationships be leveraged to meet needs without a requisite transaction of money?

🌍🌿 Understanding 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐛𝐨𝐧 𝐓𝐚𝐱 and How Carbon Credits Can Help Your Company 🌿🌍 As the global push for sustainability intensifies, many companies face the challenge of managing carbon taxes. But what exactly is a carbon tax? 🌱💡 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐛𝐨𝐧 𝐓𝐚𝐱 Defined: A carbon tax is a fee imposed on the burning of carbon-based fuels (coal, oil, gas) aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions. It incentivizes companies to adopt cleaner energy practices by making it more costly to emit carbon dioxide. 💸🌍 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐛𝐨𝐧 𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐬? 🌳𝐂𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐄𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐲: Offset your emissions cost-effectively and reduce the financial burden of carbon taxes. 💰📉 🌳𝐒𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐆𝐨𝐚𝐥𝐬: Enhance your green credentials and demonstrate commitment to sustainability. 🌿📈 🌳𝐑𝐞𝐠𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞: Stay ahead of regulations and avoid penalties by balancing your carbon footprint. 🛡️✔️ 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐂𝐚𝐧 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭?

I'll state it again - you can't claim your asset or business as net zero without offsets. That's in the defintion. The voluntary offset market is a mess, but its progression was never going to be linear. However, what annoys me the most is the lack of nuance when looking at offsets. The narrative is that they are 'good' or 'bad' - they are neither. Offsets are needed. What gets forgotten is that there already exists a regulated offset market - the EU ETS, which since its inception has had a real impact. The voluntary market must aspire to this level of impact. The development of a retrofit offset market in my eyes is a game changer. Its solutions will help with issues of verification and validation as well as impact. The lifespan of solutions in this sector is known and it will hit multiple non-carbon related issues. As this market develops (in the UK and hopefully internationally) it will enable people to offset 'locally'. Well done HACT for driving this forward In the meantime the nature based offset industry has to outline ways beyond ICVCM alignment to improve transparency and trust in the long term. #carbonmarkets #netzero #offsetting #HACT https://lnkd.in/e-J3_kFQ.

📣Out now: The Greening Cash Action Guide helps companies measure and reduce the emissions that their cash deposits in the bank indirectly finance. Companies’ cash deposits 💰form part of a bank’s assets that are used to finance activities that in turn produce emissions. For many companies, emissions from their cash holdings in the bank are substantial, as the #CarbonBankroll report showed. Total reported 🏭emissions would be higher - if the emissions indirectly financed by companies’ cash were counted. That’s currently not required by the @ Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHG Protocol). But we companies CAN and should take action 🚀to measure and reduce the emissions we indirectly finance. The Greening Cash Action Guide lays out how to do that in 7️⃣ key actions.

A robust and transparent #carbonaccounting empowers business with the necessary information to delve with transitional risks or emerging new rules in the path towards a low carbon economy. Reporting schemes differ in how carbon accounting results are grouped or named. All carbon reporting schemes consider #direct and #indirect #GHGemissionsources. 📌 Direct GHG emissions sources are those in control of your business, they are produced by burning fuel, through chemical reactions, and from leaks from industrial processes or equipment.  📌 Indirect GHG emissions sources are those your business does not control but can influence, they result from goods and services delivered through an outside provider, as well as waste disposal, investments, product distribution, franchises, and leased assets as some examples. LEAF makes it possible to go through carbon accounting and adapt this information into differente existent and new arising reporting schemes not only at organizational level but at product level. #carbonaccounting #lowcarboneconomy #directghgemissionsources #indirectghgemissionsources #GHGreporting #SaasGHG #sustainability #transparency #climateaction #environmentalperformance #climateaction Image reference: https://lnkd.in/dQXjqm3y

What is the carbon market and what are carbon credits?🌱 The carbon market is a way for companies and corporations to offset their carbon emissions through the purchase of carbon credits. The desire to purchase credits is often a result of the cap-and-trade system, as governments place limits on the amount of emissions a company can produce annually. These credits are produced by entities that reduce or sequester carbon emissions through a variety of offset projects. One carbon credit is equal to one tonne of carbon removed from the atmopshere. 🌎 The effectiveness of this method of emissions offset is highly debated, and therefore it is important for individuals and businesses to do thorough research on the carbon credit projects they are supporting. #carbonemissions #carboncredits #capandtrade #sustainability #sustainabilitymatters #carbonmarkets #carboncapture #carbonremoval #carbonsequestration
