Our Governance

Independence and rigour are key to IDEAcarbon's business and to the trust placed in us by our clients. IDEAcarbon strictly adheres to the following guidelines to ensure that its independence is protected at all times:

  • No IDEAcarbon staff are allowed to buy or sell assets or derivatives in the markets that we analyse;
  • Independent Advisors are involved in the development of IDEAcarbon products and services, and are, therefore, free to challenge the firm’s direction in the interests of better analysis and rigour; and
  • We have implemented a ‘Chinese wall’ between the different business functions of the IDEAcarbon Strategic Intelligence departments which advise clients, and the Carbon Ratings Agency which conducts independent risk analysis.
