Climate Impact Partners is hosting a webinar on June 30 focused on how Fortune Global 500 companies use carbon credits to meet net zero targets. The session will cover the three types of credits: reduced, removed, and avoided emissions, and discuss how carbon finance supports global decarbonization projects. The webinar features Carolyn Bacchus from CIP and Ben Wielgus from Informa, offering data-driven insights for companies refining climate strategies. With 72% of Fortune Global 500 firms now having climate commitments, the event aims to provide practical guidance on leveraging carbon credits effectively. Attendees can expect discussion on the EU's potential reintroduction of carbon credits into its climate goals and how businesses can benchmark their progress. Registration is open for the free event, which targets sustainability professionals looking to accelerate their net zero pathways.

CIP has been around for a while. The 150 million tonnes CO2e they claim is a big number, but I'd want to see third party verification on that.

The webinar seems focused on Fortune 500, but most of the actual carbon credit buyers are smaller firms. Wonder if they'll address that gap.

Three types of credits mentioned, but the article skips additionality and permanence. Those are the real sticking points for buyers.

EU considering bringing carbon credits back into climate goals is interesting. That could shift the whole market if it happens.

The 72% of Fortune 500 having climate commitments is meaningless without knowing how many are actually buying credits vs just setting targets.
