Reducing carbon emissions is high on the agenda of governments across the globe. The introduction of carbon taxes, levies and caps will have a major effect on the cost of all goods and services since greenhouse gasses are emitted in all value chains.
The Fit for 55 Package, presented by the European Commission on 14 July 2021, aims to reduce domestic net greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55 percent by 2030. The package introduces three main carbon pricing instruments: the EU emission trading system (EU ETS), the carbon border adjustment mechanism (CBAM) and the energy taxation directive (ETD). This should also enable Europe to become the world's first climate-neutral continent by 2050.
This second ESG animation outlines the potential impact and sketches some possible solutions for an overall business strategy fit for the low carbon economy of the future. So do watch our follow-up ESG animation on carbon pricing and feel free to contact us to discuss your approach.
