The recent removal of several prominent companies, including Microsoft, Unilever, and JBS, from the validation process for their climate plans under SBTi underscores the complexities involved in aligning corporate strategies with global climate objectives.<\/span><\/span><\/p><\/div><\/td><\/tr><tr><td style=\"padding-top:8px;padding-bottom:8px;padding-right:24px;padding-left:24px\" class=\"mceBlockContainer\" valign=\"top\"><div data-block-id=\"332\" class=\"mceText\" id=\"dataBlockId-332\" style=\"width:100%\"><p class=\"last-child\"><span style=\"color:#172b4d;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'DM Sans', sans-serif\">A key contention raised by companies is the lack of supportive policy frameworks from governments, which hampers their ability to swiftly enact emissions reductions. The challenges are further compounded by the complexity and cost of addressing Scope 3 emissions, which constitute a significant portion of companies&#8217; carbon footprints. <\/span><\/span><\/p><\/div><\/td><\/tr><tr><td style=\"padding-top:8px;padding-bottom:8px;padding-right:24px;padding-left:24px\" class=\"mceBlockContainer\" valign=\"top\"><div data-block-id=\"336\" class=\"mceText\" id=\"dataBlockId-336\" style=\"width:100%\"><p class=\"last-child\"><span style=\"color:#172b4d;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'DM Sans', sans-serif\">What may be seen as a response to corporate concerns around meeting climate targets, the SBTi board of directors recently made an announcement that marks a significant shift in its approach by expanding the use of carbon offsets to meet Scope 3 abatement targets. Until now, SBTi only allowed the use of carbon credits to offset 10% of the residual unavoidable emissions after a company has successfully met 90% of its net-zero target.<\/span><\/span><\/p><\/div><\/td><\/tr><tr><td style=\"padding-top:8px;padding-bottom:8px;padding-right:24px;padding-left:24px\" class=\"mceBlockContainer\" valign=\"top\"><div data-block-id=\"335\" class=\"mceText\" id=\"dataBlockId-335\" style=\"width:100%\"><p class=\"last-child\"><span style=\"color:#172b4d;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'DM Sans', sans-serif\">What does this mean for the Net-Zero standard and the carbon markets? Expect demand for carbon credits to take off. According to Bloomberg, companies with SBTi targets emit 30 billion tonnes of CO2, of which a massive 27 billion tonnes come from Scope 3 emissions. Even if SBTi extends the use of environmental attribute certificates to offset 10% of all Scope 3 emissions, we are looking at a potential demand for 2.7 billion credits; far beyond what the VCM can supply in its current state.<\/span><\/span><\/p><\/div><\/td><\/tr><tr><td style=\"padding-top:8px;padding-bottom:8px;padding-right:24px;padding-left:24px\" class=\"mceBlockContainer\" valign=\"top\"><div data-block-id=\"337\" class=\"mceText\" id=\"dataBlockId-337\" style=\"width:100%\"><p class=\"last-child\"><span style=\"color:#172b4d;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'DM Sans', sans-serif\">Even if all companies with targets do not choose to exhaust their offsetting quota (yet to be defined by SBTi), we can expect the demand addition to be substantial. With SBTi devising solutions to climate issues that do not ignore the cost-efficiency needs of businesses, more companies are likely to set ambitious Net-Zero targets, further expanding the demand pool for the VCM.<\/span><\/span><\/p><\/div><\/td><\/tr><tr><td style=\"background-color:transparent;padding-top:10px;padding-bottom:10px;padding-right:24px;padding-left:24px\" class=\"mceBlockContainer\" valign=\"top\"><table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"100%\" style=\"background-color:transparent\" role=\"presentation\" data-block-id=\"221\"><tbody><tr><td style=\"min-width:100%;border-top:1px solid #dcdfe4\" valign=\"top\"><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/td><\/tr><tr><td style=\"padding-top:20px;padding-bottom:4px;padding-right:24px;padding-left:24px\" class=\"mceBlockContainer\" valign=\"top\"><div data-block-id=\"120\" class=\"mceText\" id=\"dataBlockId-120\" style=\"width:100%\"><p style=\"line-height: 2;\" class=\"last-child\"><strong><span style=\"color:#265cff;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12px\"><span style=\"font-family: 'DM Sans', sans-serif\">PRICE TRENDS<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p><\/div><\/td><\/tr><tr><td style=\"padding-top:0;padding-bottom:0;padding-right:24px;padding-left:24px\" class=\"mceBlockContainer\" valign=\"top\"><div data-block-id=\"146\" class=\"mceText\" id=\"dataBlockId-146\" style=\"width:100%\"><p class=\"last-child\"><strong><span style=\"color:#091e42;\"><span style=\"font-size: 22px\"><span style=\"font-family: 'DM Sans', sans-serif\">Carbon credit price for the past month<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p><\/div><\/td><\/tr><tr><td style=\"padding-top:12px;padding-bottom:6px;padding-right:24px;padding-left:24px\" class=\"mceBlockContainer\" valign=\"top\"><div data-block-id=\"200\" class=\"mceText\" id=\"dataBlockId-200\" style=\"width:100%\"><p style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\" class=\"last-child\"><strong><span style=\"color:#172b4d;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'DM Sans', sans-serif\">Price per credit: <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 18px\"><span style=\"font-family: 'DM Sans', sans-serif\">$3.55<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><span style=\"color:#172b4d;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'DM Sans', sans-serif\">\/tCO2e<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'DM Sans', sans-serif\"> (-1.<\/span><span style=\"color:#172b4d;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'DM Sans', sans-serif\">9%MoM<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'DM Sans', sans-serif\">)<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/td><\/tr><tr><td style=\"padding-top:0;padding-bottom:5px;padding-right:24px;padding-left:24px\" class=\"mceBlockContainer\" valign=\"top\"><div data-block-id=\"205\" class=\"mceText\" id=\"dataBlockId-205\" style=\"width:100%\"><p class=\"last-child\"><span style=\"color:rgb(23, 43, 77);\"><span style=\"font-family: 'DM Sans', sans-serif\">Based on top 500 projects globally by volume of credits retired.<\/span><\/span><\/p><\/div><\/td><\/tr><tr><td style=\"padding-top:12px;padding-bottom:8px;padding-right:24px;padding-left:24px\" class=\"mceBlockContainer\" valign=\"top\"><div data-block-id=\"142\" class=\"mceText\" id=\"dataBlockId-142\" style=\"width:100%\"><p class=\"last-child\"><span style=\"color:#172b4d;\">The average cost per credit has dropped by 1.9% compared to last month&#8217;s $3.62, now standing at $3.55.

With the VCM in a mature space and an ever-growing need for climate finance, businesses and standards alike are focusing on generating and procuring quality carbon credit supply. This is evident with the growth of the burgeoning market for carbon removal credits.
