Law / Poland selling Carbon Credits [16]

If a global company operates in denial of climate change it will lose opportunities in the fast-growing eco-consumer segment. It will also have to react badly to fast-changing environmental regulation especially carbon trading schemes, rather than being proactive and helping to shape the solution.

And how we'd know we succeeded?

I was talking in general terms from the company perspective about long-term growth.

Law / Poland selling Carbon Credits [16]

One is UN carbon credits and Poland has plenty of those because UN started counting that somewhere in the 80'. I don't know exactly. Thing is that in the same time Poland bancrupted so willy-nilly Poland managed to reduce gas emission a lot :-)

WOW OK really? Thanks for that insight.

Regardless of whether its BS or not, its a fact that global companies are all thinking about their carbon emissions, A LOT. It's a trend and we can either resist it and struggle, or embrace and succeed.

Law / Poland selling Carbon Credits [16]

Thanks for bringing this to our attention, I'm personally very interested to know what Poland's climate change/environmental record is like.

Is Poland pulling a fast one due to its reliance on coal fired energy ??Hmmm

If its selling carbon credits then they have surplus carbon emissions rights and Spain/Ireland have a deficit hence the trade. But then that suggests Poland's carbon emissions are still lower than allowable limit despite being predominantly coal (a very bad thing)!

So I don't understand how that logic works out.
