End-to-end Solutions combining ESG Strategy, Green Finance and Decarbonization solutions
Several key trends in green finance have emerged in recent years
Carbon offsets are a tool, not a silver bullet
Green finance plays a pivotal role in supporting the global shift towards decarbonization by providing the financial resources needed for the transition to a low-carbon economy.
To demonstrate that, the green bond market surpassed $1 trillion in cumulative issuance by 2022, reflecting the increasing demand for climate-aligned investments. As of 2023, 73 countries and over 1,000 companies are using carbon pricing mechanisms such as carbon taxes or cap-and-trade systems to reduce emissions. Carbon prices have been steadily increasing, providing a stronger financial incentive to cut emissions.
From green bonds to sustainability-linked loans and carbon markets, these financial tools are mobilizing capital for the urgent transition to a low-carbon economy.
Creating a how-to guide for events decarbonization
Carbon Neutralization and ESG practices in Events
Many companies have set net-zero carbon targets as part of their broader sustainability commitments. Hosting net-zero events helps align event planning with these goals, reducing the carbon footprint of activities like corporate meetings, conferences, and product launches.
Research highlights that implementing sustainability into event planning can lead to 20-30% reduction in costs and 60-80% reduction in waste.
Prioritizing net-zero events not only aligns companies with the pressing need to address climate change but also offers a range of business benefits, from brand differentiation to cost savings and stakeholder satisfaction.

Supply Chains: still looking for a sustainable path
The logistics and transport sector is responsible for over a third of global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, making it the largest-emitting sector in many countries.
Freight transportation alone contributes around 8% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and when warehousing operations are added, this figure rises to 11% (MIT) [1].
A sector with such a significant impact on global emissions has a critical role to play in the transition to a decarbonized future.
To align with the Net Zero Emissions (NZE) by 2050 Scenario, CO2 emissions from the transport sector must fall by more than 3% annually until 2030.
Regulations and directives, guided by the Paris Agreement, are pushing companies towards low- and zero-emission operations. The logistics value chain is often one of the largest contributors to a company's Scope 3 emissions under the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol, making it crucial for businesses to address this to meet their sustainability commitments.
