Decoding carbon offsets and exploring the voluntary carbon market with Viridios Capital

Welcome back to Freight Up! It's the (mostly) weekly podcast from Freight Investor Services - or as we're more affectionately known - FIS.

In this week's episode, we’re revisiting an older conversation around the world of international shipping and its impact on greenhouse gases and carbon emissions trading.

Producer Neal sits in for Fernanda and the rest of the Freight Up podcast team and recasts a previous episode of the podcast in which Kerry Deal and former host Chris Hudson had an intriguing conversation with Andrew Glass, Head of Sales and Partnerships for Viridios Capital.

They discuss carbon offsets and emissions offset markets and the significance of addressing carbon footprints, the role of voluntary carbon markets, and the importance of transparency in pricing.

Discover how technology and AI are revolutionising the market and paving the way for a more standardised and globally adopted approach.
