Lead, Carbon Removal Program - Meta Platforms

Buying Carbon Credits

Virtual Event

November 03, 2022 - 11:30 AM

Carbon markets have been energized and incentivized like never before, driven by a groundswell of corporate net zero commitments.  But now that companies have driven up demand, how do they influence supply in terms of quality and price?  Tracy will share her perspective on Meta’s net zero goals, how carbon markets fit into those goals, and how her team assesses project and credit quality.  She’ll also speak about the role of corporate leadership in the future of carbon markets, and where the biggest opportunities are to innovate and solve the best kinds of problems – a growing market and an increasing focus on integrity, transparency, and local community leadership
