World Kinect Energy Services to host a live panel discussion at COP27

As technologies and regulations continue to change, carbon offsets have become a worthwhile option for any organization on the path to net zero. With technology leading to innovative new opportunities in the carbon offset space, verification is becoming central to building credibility.

"Verra determines a robust and comprehensive set of rules and requirements that all carbon projects certified under the Verified Carbon Program must meet. These requirements cover a host of topics including additionality, leakage, monitoring, reporting and verification, and are developed through extensive stakeholder consultation that incorporates the latest scientific findings and best practices," said David Antonioli, CEO of Verra. "Verra also reviews and approves carbon accounting methodologies, which must go through multiple rounds of review involving Verra staff, experts, the public, and validation and verification bodies. It is a rigorous process which ensures that credits from VCS projects are high-quality and deliver real emission reductions or removals."

"We are thrilled to partner with Verra and Okeanos to share the latest information on carbon offsets to help customers make informed decisions," said Wade DeClaris, Chief Commercial Officer, World Fuel Services, the parent of World Kinect. "We'll be sharing how new technologies are making certified carbon offsets easier and more impactful for companies working to meet their net zero targets."

Join the panel and walk away with key insights into the future of carbon credits:

• How carbon offsets are changing, including innovative new technologies
• The true nature and unique benefits of carbon offsets
• How to ensure carbon offsets are accredited and verified
