CIRCLE 210
Carbon Accounting: Streamlining EU Regulation to Enable Efficient, Transparent, and Comparable CO2 Reporting
The new EU legislative landscape is taking shape and simplification of regulation is at the heart of the agenda. Existing regulations such as CBAM, CSRD, and the Battery Regulation contain distinct provisions for measuring carbon footprints. Greater alignment of reporting standards across multiple sustainability frameworks could improve reporting efficiency and enhance the accuracy of emissions data, benefiting businesses, regulators, and consumers alike.
This roundtable will examine the current carbon accounting framework and potential avenues for streamlining greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reporting. Prof. Karthik Ramanna, Professor of Business and Public Policy at the University of Oxford, and Dr. Thomas Becker, VP of Corporate Strategy, Sustainability, and Mobility at BMW Group, will provide introductory remarks. Their insights will set the stage for an open discussion among all roundtable participants
