In today's dynamic business environment, a robust ESG strategy is not just about compliance, it's a cornerstone of corporate resilience and long-term value creation.
CEEZER's recent Carbon Connect webinar, ESG Reporting in Transition — Building Resilient Corporate Climate Strategies, cut through the complexity and delivered actionable insights for corporate climate strategy from an expert panel of speakers.
The panel, moderated by CEEZER CEO Magnus Drewelies, featured:
- Dr. Carla Woydt, Chief Impact Officer at CEEZER
- Carolin Matuschke, Manager, Climate Change and Sustainability Services at EY
- Shameek Bose, SVP & Partner, Global Lead for Responsible Business & Global Impact at FleishmanHillard
During this webinar, our speakers shared actionable approaches for integrating carbon market activities into ESG disclosures, setting verifiable climate targets, and maintaining operational excellence.
Key takeaways:
As the market and regulations shift rapidly, companies must balance caution with climate action. To do this:
- Set realistic, achievable short-term sustainability goals to maintain momentum.
- Engage stakeholders proactively to shape effective climate strategies.
- Use scenario planning to adapt quickly to changing regulations and requirements.
- Embrace new technologies and AI where possible to enhance sustainability efforts. With a nine trillion dollar investment committed to AI globally, leaders need to start thinking about how this can work towards their sustainability commitments.
Regarding integrating carbon credits into a comprehensive ESG reporting strategy, our panelists emphasized that organizations should:
- Go beyond looking at carbon standards only. Even within very reputable standards, we see variations in carbon credit quality.
- Have good visibility on the carbon credit market as a whole, rather than focusing solely on price to fulfill isolated claims.
- Develop a clear stakeholder strategy and carbon credit portfolio goals, including a net-zero target.
