In their latest draft guidance, the SBTi introduces the possibility of mandatory interim removal targets, reinforcing the importance for companies to start investing in carbon removal projects earlier in their transition. In addition, with an expectation of greater recognition for Beyond Value Chain Mitigation (BVCM), there lies an opportunity for companies to take responsibility for their ongoing emissions.
In this 30-minute session, we'll go beyond the technical definitions to explore what these changes mean for corporate climate strategies and how companies can proactively build a high-quality carbon credit portfolio that aligns with evolving expectations.
We'll also discuss how businesses can leverage this period to gain early recognition for their climate contributions while preparing for residual emissions requirements.
