Carbon Markets

Carbon Markets

ERM helps its clients to navigate the global carbon markets, develop long term mitigation strategies and access high-quality carbon credits that support their decarbonization and sustainability goals.

Navigating the carbon markets

Demand for high-quality carbon credits and nature-based solutions is expected to intensify as organizations go above and beyond their direct decarbonization action to mitigate unabated emissions.

Carbon credits provide an opportunity to reduce global emissions, support a just transition, scale finance flows for nature and deliver wider societal benefits.

Realizing this opportunity means navigating a rapidly changing landscape, including emerging regulations, changing best practice guidelines and new compliance markets.

Creating an enduring and credible approach means a strong focus on integrity, complementing a comprehensive approach to measuring and reducing scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions in line with science.

A carefully de-risked mitigation strategy, alongside deep decarbonisation action, is key to delivering a transparent and credible net-zero outcome. ERM can support its clients at every stage of their journey.
