NBI Member Only Event – Carbon Markets in Practice: What Companies Need to Know
April 21 @ 9:30 am - 12:00 pm
Global carbon market negotiations under the Paris Agreement are moving from rule-setting to real-world implementation, while voluntary carbon markets face growing scrutiny around integrity and impact. In South Africa, these developments intersect with updated regulation under phase two of the carbon tax, evolving guidance on offsets, and broader national objectives linked to decarbonisation, industrial development, and a just transition.
The National Business Initiative (NBI) invites you to a member only event focused on exploring what these developments mean in practice for South African business.
This session will answer key questions on the Carbon Market such as:
What are carbon credits and how are they used by countries and companies?
How do global developments such as Article 6 of the Paris Agreement interact with the voluntary and South African carbon markets?
What is the outlook for the carbon market in South Africa over the next period?
What does this mean in practice for South African business?
Carbon markets can create opportunities and support company decarbonisation efforts, with considerations linked to tax, investment, and competitiveness. Effective use of carbon markets requires a solid foundational understanding of the field and options available.
Speakers include:
Heather McEwan: Regional Representative: Africa and the Middle East, Verra
Henk Sa: Managing Partner, Brundtland
Vukile Davidson: Chief Director for Financial Markets and Stability, National Treasury
Franz Rentel: Managing Director, Anthesis
Olivia Tuchten: Director, Promethium group of companies
Dr Storm Patel: Commercial Director, TASC

Date:Tuesday, 21 April 2026 Time:09:00 for 9:30 – 12:00, followed by a light lunch
