Many companies are eager to demonstrate how their products or services contribute to a low-carbon economy by showcasing how they help avoid greenhouse gas emissions compared to other market options. While these avoided emissions claims position companies as innovators rather than mere polluters, it is crucial that such claims are made robustly, rigorously, and communicated credibly.
In 2023, the World Business Council for Sustainable Development released its Guidance on Avoided Emissions, acknowledging the necessity to enhance the credibility of current claims. This guidance helps companies make trustworthy avoided emission claims.
Join us for an informative and interactive discussion with Marvin Henry from the World Business Council for Sustainable Development and representatives from leading UN Global Compact participating companies. We’ll delve into the key aspects of the Guidance and explore what constitutes legitimate practices in accounting for and reporting on avoided emissions.
