EcoSecurites partnered with ClimateBiz and Baker & McKenzie LLP to conduct a survey on the carbon offsetting trends for 2009. This quantitative research study has been compiled into a comprehensive report which gives an overview of the needs, wants and motivations of more than 280 corporations purchasing carbon offsets. To download a copy of the report ahead of the launch event, please click on the following link: The Carbon Management and Offsetting Trends Survey Report 2009

This interactive panel debate will examine the report findings in more detail as it relates to the emerging North American voluntary and pre-compliance offset markets. In addition panelists will be on hand to provide advice and assistance in helping organizations transition to a low carbon economy.
