Event Details

Explore how off setting your unavoidable emissions could be a viable option for you to advance your net zero progress. Join Make UK and ICE at Broadway House, Westminster on the 14th November at 13:30 – 17:30 for an in-person event to support manufacturers and other companies in making decisions regarding purchasing nature-based carbon sequestration projects with real confidence around integrity and value

Businesses play a key role in achieving our global climate targets.

Make UK in partnership with Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) are launching a first-in-kind joint event on voluntary carbon offsets, providing manufacturers with access to the best global research, advice and specialist environmental projects.

This event is aimed at any business, small or large, seeking to advance on their net zero pathway and will help in making decisions regarding purchasing nature-based carbon sequestration projects with real confidence around integrity and value. Attendance is ideally suited for anyone in an environmental, sustainability, finance, or purchasing role.
