IN Tune is a podcast featuring Equity Research analysts from BMO Capital Markets. Our episodes explore key emerging themes, trends, and issues which are important to our institutional clients globally.

There has been a lot of buzz around the voluntary carbon market over the past few years given increased interest in corporate carbon offsetting to help facilitate the explosion in net-zero and emissions reduction targets. We believe this market is currently in its “carpe diem” moment and that it has arrived at an important crossroad, with a need to meet increasing demand for offsets while still maintaining market integrity through products that reflect actual impact. While we believe this market is slated for impressive growth, its potential is predicated on an ability to deliver high-integrity products. In this short podcast, we touch on certain nuanced aspects of the market, including differences with compliance and voluntary markets, credit-quality criteria, and the implication of Article 6 of the Paris Agreement.
