Beyond Alliance VCM Buyers Bootcamp

​As the voluntary carbon market (VCM) emerges from a period of transition, including SBTi’s acceptance of carbon credits and the operationalization of Article 6.4, carbon credits remain a central tool for corporate climate finance. For many companies, the question is no longer if they should engage, but how to do it credibly and effectively.

​Ahead of Trellis Impact, the 2026 Beyond VCM Buyers Bootcamp is a full-day, practitioner-focused program for corporate sustainability and procurement teams. It is designed for those starting from zero or looking to move from pilot carbon credit purchases to a more strategic procurement approach.

​Through a mix of expert insights, real-world company perspectives, and hands-on exercises, participants will learn how to:

• ​Build a compelling internal business case and get executive buy-in

• ​Navigate SBTi guidance, claims, and reputational risk

• ​Evaluate carbon credit quality and key tradeoffs

• ​Understand procurement pathways, brokers, and contracting options

• ​Construct a carbon credit portfolio aligned with business goals
