Delighted to see Cayman highlighted several times for our local impact in striving to create a better, more sustainable tomorrow and some smiling Cayman faces in the report too 💚 Kudos if you can also spot the picture of me in the report 😅 #Impact #CSC #Sustainability #Community #Environment

Our Impact Report 2025 is out!! I'm so excited to share all the things we have achieved last year, and how we're evolving our report reflecting our journey so far. And we're just getting started. This year, we took important steps to further embed impact across CSC, including: • Introducing an Enterprise Sustainability Risk Framework aligned with international standards to strengthen how we identify and manage sustainability-related risks. • Publishing our first U.N. Global Compact Communication on Progress, reinforcing our commitment to the 10 principles on human rights, labor, environment, and anti-corruption. • Developing a Global Supplier Code of Conduct to further integrate responsible practices across our supply chain. • Expanding our social impact efforts through our multiyear partnership with Ronald McDonald House. • Continuing to strengthen our Diversity & Belonging Program, reflected in an increase of our DEI eNPS score from 52 to 58. I’m also particularly proud that this year’s report includes an expanded appendix with goals and data, helping us increase transparency, accountability, and visibility into the progress we are making across our impact pillars. Thank you to all our CSC colleagues that help us drive our sustainability agenda across the organization everyday, and to our amazing team of impact champions and leaders who keep pushing our initiatives forward, inspiring others, creating momentum, and making meaningful change happen across the organization. #Impact #Sustainability #CSR #DEI #Environment

Next week, Sinclair V., senior director, program development, and Scott Greenberg, senior director, marketing and business development, will be heading to New York to attend Carbon Unbound East Coast. The event will bring together leaders across climate finance, carbon markets, and policy to discuss market integrity, demand signals, and the evolving role of voluntary and compliance mechanisms in accelerating climate action. 🎤 Sinclair Vincent will participate in the mainstage panel “Strengthening the Carbon Market by Rebuilding Trust” on May 19 at 11:45 am. Joining the panel are Fredrik Ekström (Nasdaq Stockholm and Puro.earth), Ludovic Chatoux (Rainbow Standard), Madeleine Carnemark (The Carbon Policy & Markets Initiative at the High Tide Foundation), and Peter Minor (Absolute Climate).  The discussion will explore how the voluntary carbon market can strengthen credibility, evolve beyond early registry models, and support a more mature market focused on long-term impact and integrity. The Verra delegation looks forward to engaging with stakeholders next week. 🔗Learn more and register: https://lnkd.in/gYgRE99P  #CarbonUnbound #Verra #CarbonMarkets 

I’m heading to NYC next Tuesday and Wednesday for #CarbonUnbound East Coast with the brilliant Sinclair V.. There’s a different tone around carbon markets right now...less certainty theater. More substantive debate. Buyers are asking harder questions because they expect (and rightfully need) more from the market now. Project developers are digging deeper on methodologies and pushing projects to impressive new levels. And that shift matters. Markets mature when they are pressure tested in public, validation and verification processes become more robust, and credibility is treated as something built over time. Carbon markets are no longer in the “just trust us” era of yesterday. They're deep into the phase where integrity is being actively operationalized. Credibility must show up in infrastructure, methodologies, tech, monitoring, governance, and outcomes people can actually believe in. That’s why I’m especially looking forward to Sinclair joining the mainstage panel: “Strengthening the Carbon Market by Rebuilding Trust.” At Verra, the last several years have been an "Integrity Renaissance," not just responding to scrutiny, but helping push the market toward a more mature, accountable future by: • strengthening standards and methodologies, • expanding digital innovation and transparency, • improving oversight and stakeholder engagement, • advancing jurisdictional approaches, government relations, and Article 6 readiness, • and continuing to ask the central question: how can we make climate action even more credible, scalable, and useful in the real world? The market is maturing...fast, which means the conversations happening now may be the most consequential our industry has had yet. If you’ll be in New York next week, let’s connect. I’m always up for thoughtful conversations that challenge assumptions and move the market forward. See you there! #CarbonMarkets #ClimateFinance #VCM #CarbonUnbound #ClimateAction #MarketIntegrity #NetZero #Sustainability #Verra

This week, BASE turns... 🥁 25 years old! 🇺🇳 The concept of BASE began when Klaus Töpfer, former Executive Director of the UN Environment Programme, detected in 1998 the institutional deficit in renewable energy and energy efficiency. Back then, the global challenge of sustainable energy financing was a completely fragmented area, with a clear gap between investors and major sustainable energy projects. Three years later, in 2001, the Basel Agency for Sustainable Energy (BASE) was officially founded with Kanton Basel-Stadt as a Collaborating Center of UNEP and a tri-national project between France, Germany and Switzerland, to accelerate finance for sustainable energy worldwide. Since then, BASE has grown and expanded its scope of work and mandate beyond sustainable energy, addressing financing gaps in areas such as climate adaptation and resilience. We have now dedicated a quarter-century to developing innovative business models, actionable financial strategies, and building bridges between actors at the nexus of sustainable energy solutions, finance and international development. Every milestone has been made possible thanks to the incredible community we have built together. 🤝 This week, we celebrate not only our anniversary, but also the people, partners, donors and projects that shaped our story. Thank you for being part of the journey!

It's such a joy to read this impactful, hope-filled and action packed annual report from the Climate Stewards team. It's been an exciting and challenging year, navigating our new strategy in the light of changes to the voluntary carbon markets, alongside continuing day to day work - including running our hugely successful Lent Carbon Fast. Our new climate contribution model supports ethical, transparent and robust projects run by our amazing overseas partners, bringing benefits to local communities and saving or removing carbon - measured using our rigorous Seal of Approval framework. It isn't an offset, but is a vital contribution to the global commons, tackling climate injustice and enabling communities in the global majority to adapt to climate impacts that are already taking effect. I am absolutely delighted to be serving Climate Stewards as their new Chair in this season of change. It's a hugely challenging political, economic and social context in which we find ourselves - and yet in these stories, projects, and opportunities, there is real hope about the part we can all play as a global community to make a real and positive impact. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I did, and get in touch to find out more!
