Helping businesses meet their compliance requirements
Shell Environmental Products works with many companies across the world, helping them to comply with environmental regulations and manage their exposure to the carbon markets.
What are environmental compliance markets?
Environmental compliance markets are a key mechanism through which companies can manage their emissions by trading carbon credits. They are administrated by national, regional and/or international regulators.
Compliance markets where we operate
Shell completed the first trade on the European Union Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS), in 2003, and has been an active participant in the European carbon market ever since. Today we participate in all major emissions trading schemes in the world.
