A new on-demand webinar from Climate Impact Partners explores how Fortune Global 500 companies are using carbon credits to meet net zero targets. The data shows 72% of these companies now have public climate goals, and 44% plan to use carbon credits, a 75% increase since 2022. The webinar includes case studies from Informa and discusses how high-quality credits can complement direct emissions reductions. Key takeaways include the maturation of corporate climate strategies beyond broad pledges, the growing mainstream adoption of carbon credits for residual emissions, and practical execution examples from Informa's centralized sustainability framework. The webinar also highlights that demand for high-quality carbon credits could increase 15-fold by 2030, signaling a tightening market for buyers.

This is a solid roundup of where corporate carbon credit demand is heading. The 44% adoption figure and the 15x demand projection by 2030 are the real numbers to watch.

I wonder how much of that projected demand increase relies on SBTi actually finalizing its carbon credit guidance. Without that, corporate buyers might hold back.

The Informa case study on reusable exhibition stands is interesting but feels like a small piece. Would like to see how they handle harder to abate emissions in their supply chain.

The 72% having public climate targets is progress, but the gap between target setting and actual procurement of high quality credits is still wide. Policy needs to bridge that.

Carbon credits are a tool, not a blueprint. The real work is in industrial retrofits and efficiency. Credits just cover what you cannot cut yet.
