Board directors play a vital role in ensuring their companies are making robust strategic decisions around engaging with carbon markets in a high-integrity manner. Join Chapter Zero, the Integrity Council for the Voluntary Carbon Market (ICVCM) and the Voluntary Carbon Markets Integrity Initiative (VCMI) on Wednesday 28 May for a webinar designed to equip boards with the level of understanding needed to provide this crucial guidance.
This online event will explore the role that carbon market mechanisms and decarbonisation approaches can have in corporate climate transition planning and residual emissions reductions. We will be joined by expert speakers with a range of experience in the carbon space to share their knowledge and answer your questions on this complex topic.
Our confirmed speakers currently include:
- Doris Honold, Board Director at ICVCM with 25 years of board-level experience in finance, risk and change management, who will share ICVCM’s core carbon principles and how ICVCM is working to ensure high quality and integrity in this space.
- Mark Kenber, Executive Director at VCMI, who will delve into the role carbon credits can play in addressing unabated emissions alongside direct emissions reduction strategies, and how carbon credits fit within the current compliance requirements and policy.
Further guest speakers will be announced soon.
