​Market-based instruments (MBIs)—such as carbon credits, certificates, and contractual agreements—are gaining attention as companies look to accelerate progress on Scope 3 emissions and deliver impact beyond their direct operations.

​While MBIs offer a way to channel finance into emissions-reducing activities across complex value chains, their role in corporate climate strategies remains uncertain. Current accounting frameworks largely limit recognition to physically traceable reductions, raising questions about how these instruments can scale credibly.

​At the same time, leading standards bodies, including the GHG Protocol, SBTi, and initiatives such as TCAT, are actively exploring how MBIs could be defined and integrated into future accounting and target-setting frameworks.

​This session brings together standard setters and corporate leaders to explore where the market is heading and how MBIs can evolve into credible, scalable tools for value chain decarbonization.

​

​What we’ll discuss 

• ​The role of MBIs in corporate climate and Scope 3 strategies

• ​How evolving standards may shape their future use and recognition

• ​Insights from companies piloting MBIs today

• ​Key challenges to credibility and scale—and how to address them

​Who should attend 

​This session is designed for corporate sustainability leaders, climate strategy professionals, standard setters, and others interested in the future of Scope 3 decarbonization.
