About this event

About the event

The Baltic Exchange and Institute of Chartered Shipbrokers will be focusing on the carbon markets in their next free-to-attend webinar.  

Environmental regulation aimed at reducing emissions from shipping is both complex and ambiguous. It has never been more critical to business outcomes to develop a solid understanding of the landscape, after considering the technical, regulatory landscape alongside the market response and the commercial implications.

The panel will focus on the use of carbon markets to support a broader sustainability strategy. Both the voluntary or offset market and the implications of the inclusion of the maritime industry into the EU ETS, will be covered.

Join us for this webinar, which will provide the context and overview and of environmental regulation, along with why it is important to act to position oneself favourably, and what can be done to mitigate risk.
