Carbon credit procurement has continued to face scrutiny. Internal audits, shifting quality standards, and tighter supply of high-integrity credits have been forcing corporate buyers to rethink how they approach the market; not just which projects they select, but how they construct portfolios that can withstand both commercial and reputational pressure.
During Climate Action Week in London, sustainability and carbon strategy leaders came together for a closed-door Shell and BeZero discussion on how these pressures are reshaping procurement decisions in practice. This webinar drew on these insights to share what practitioners were grappling with, and how leading buyers were responding.
Joining us were Henning Huenteler, Partner at Bain, and Christina Elvers, Strategy Manager Environmental Products Trading at Shell, in conversation with Tommy Ricketts, CEO and Co-founder of BeZero Carbon. Together, they unpacked the themes that resonated with the group:
How carbon procurement decisions are navigated within organisations
What a credible and resilient portfolio looks like in today's market
How strategies are evolving beyond spot purchasing towards longer-term supply approaches
This was a practical conversation for sustainability leads, carbon strategy teams, and anyone responsible for making credible carbon procurement decisions in an evolving market environment.
