Webcast
Webcast in German language – feel free to contact any member of our team for explanations in English.
In our Deloitte Legal Update webcast series, this time we are going into a selected area on the topic of "climate protection law".
Companies are increasingly taking up the cause of achieving climate targets. However, too few still achieve climate neutrality by reducing their own emissions. Often, climate neutrality is to be achieved by offsetting unavoidable emissions. To achieve this, companies purchase certificates. The certificates are generated outside the company to finance climate projects, somewhere in the world, and then purchased by the companies. A new ecosystem of issuers, standard setters, certificate traders and end users has developed here. In addition to these voluntary markets, companies are subject to requirements in the mandatory market, under which they are obliged to purchase sufficient certificates.
We would like to give you an overview in the webcast on the following topics.
- Overview - voluntary and mandatory CO2 certificates
- Transfer pricing issues in connection with certificate trading based on a case study
- Contract law issues relating to certificate trading
- Advertising with climate neutrality - "Greenwashing”
- Answering your questions (Q&A)
Our Deloitte experts Dr. Björn Heidecke (Director Deloitte - Transfer Pricing) and Johannes T. Passas (Partner Deloitte Legal - Commercial Law) will guide you through the webcast.
