Climate protection remains one of the defining challenges of our
time and the financial services industry has an important role to
play in turning ambition into measurable impact. In this episode of
our podcast series Sound of Finance, our colleague Dr. Johannes
Branahl speaks with Adrian Wons, founder and CEO of Senken GmbH,
about the voluntary carbon market, the need for credible carbon
credits and how to protect companies from greenwashing risks. The
conversation explores why trust is still a key challenge in
voluntary carbon markets and why quality, transparency and reliable
monitoring are essential for carbon credits to become a credible
part of climate strategies. Adrian also explains why carbon markets
are no longer just a reputational topic, but increasingly a
strategic and economic consideration. For banks, asset managers and
insurers, the episode offers a clear view on why voluntary carbon
markets deserve attention: from financing and insuring climate
projects to managing residual emissions and preparing for possible
convergence between voluntary markets and regulated systems such as
the EU Emissions Trading System.
