Carbon Pricing

Setting a standard internal carbon price and integrating it into investment decision making can incentivise decarbonisation efforts, create a more level playing field and prepare for potential regulatory carbon pricing mechanisms.

The Challenge

Around the world, governments are starting to put a price on carbon. Currently only some high-emission sectors in the buildings value chain are materially affected. In the near future, however, it is likely that carbon pricing will directly impact the real estate market.

Implementing carbon pricing can significantly speed up the pace of decarbonisation and drive innovation at scale by embedding accountability into decision-making, while preparing organisations for potential regulation.

The Case for Carbon Pricing

Accelerating Accountability: The Case for Carbon Pricing  underscores the business case and wider benefits of internal carbon pricing, and highlights best practice through case studies, to demonstrate the potential in taking early action to reduce emissions across the value chain and capitalise on emerging opportunities in the transition to a low-carbon economy.
