As Carbon Offset Partners for the 2015 CARBON EXPO taking place from 26th to 28th of May 2015 in Barcelona, UPM and sustainable AG will ensure that the event’s greenhouse gas emissions are offset. 

sustainable AG is a Munich based consultancy specialised in strategy and management consulting in the areas of sustainability, corporate responsibility and carbon management. sustainable will be responsible for calculating the 2015 CARBON EXPO’s GHG emissions while UPM will provide and retire the required amount of Gold Standard CERs from its Sichuan Household Biogas PoA to compensate for the carbon footprint of the event.

CARBON EXPO is the flagship conference and trade fair for the international carbon markets. At CARBON EXPO, the world’s climate policy and market leaders convene once a year to explore new horizons and find innovative solutions to the earth’s greatest environmental challenge – climate change.

The CARBON EXPO 2015 Conference Program will highlight “Advancing Carbon Markets CO2 Pricing Systems, Climate Finance and Technology Incentives“ to promote the transition to sustainable energy systems and economies.

As the momentum for a global climate deal in Paris by the end of this year is growing, the CARBON EXPO is an excellent platform for the carbon market community to share ideas and solutions for the design of a global carbon market on the way from Kyoto to Paris. UPM and sustainable are therefore once again proud carbon offset sponsors for CARBON EXPO in 2015. - Martin Dilger, managing director of project developer UPM GmbH, and Jan-Marten Krebs, co-founder and board member of UPM’s cooperation partner sustainable AG
