Case Study

Carbon Pricing impacts corporates globally

"In a nutshell what we see from SparkChange's data is the emissions a company needs to pay for both directly and indirectly and what they handle through their risk management. We are then left with what I would call a 'residual carbon risk', or an estimate of how many tonnes the company needs to cover each year going forward. This is the component that we are bringing into the portfolio."
