CLEAR DISCLOSURE OF CARBON CREDIT USAGE

In adherence to the IETA guidelines, which we proudly helped develop, companies should provide a comprehensive disclosure of their carbon credit usage annually. This includes detailing the project name, type, vintage, location, and specifying the program and methodology under which the credits were issued. The purpose of retirement, a link to the registry retirement listing, and any due diligence measures taken must also be transparently communicated. It is essential for businesses to report on the social and environmental impacts, beneficial or risky, associated with their carbon credits. Companies are encouraged to comply with the evolving mandatory and voluntary disclosure frameworks to ensure they meet regulatory requirements and enhance trust in the market. For those using carbon credits to compensate for missed targets, disclosing the reasons for these shortfalls and the planned mitigation activities that were not feasible, alongside the expected duration of these challenges, is crucial for maintaining transparency and accountability in climate risk management.
