Carbon transparency

The reporting requirements for greenhouse gas emissions, including embedded emissions, are becoming far more severe in Europe and the UK. This involves some extra work. However, the proposed standardised approach across all industries could have many benefits and these could be global. It needs to be understood quickly.

Our guests speakers aim to help you understand the implications and benefits of the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), the Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) and others.

This event is free to members to attend and there is a fee of £18.00 GBP (inc. VAT) for non-members to attend.
