Synopsis
Several publications have suggested, the most common step taken by corporate players is to establish a net zero target, supported by the sharp increase in the uptake of these targets in recent times. Setting a net zero target is only the initial stage; plans like the integration of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) into investor strategies are examples of approaches taken to achieve these set goals. Aside from strategies and targets, companies needed measurable information that they could use to track and showcase to the market and renewable energy credits are just that.
Carbon Credits and Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) indicate the reduction of a firm’s carbon emission in a quantifiable and verifiable manner. They are a major part of the renewable energy industry and are, hence, more commonly used in business environments. Additionally, they prove to be beneficial in forest restoration, ecosystem protection and lowering the dependence on fossil fuels.
The aim of this event is to highlight what carbon and renewable credits are, their purpose in the industry and the benefits of using them.
