IDEAcarbon was founded in 2007 by Shandi Modi and Ian Johnson with the aim of providing the level of analysis needed for the carbon market to mature into a major asset class. IDEAcarbon is a part of the IDEAglobal Group of companies. Our sister company IDEAglobal has been providing independent analysis of a range of financial markets since 1989.
IDEAcarbon also owns the Carbon Rating Agency, which was launched in 2008, creating a global standard for carbon risk. A review of our work connecting the climate policy debate with the views of the market participants can be found here.
Independence and rigour are key to our business, and to the trust placed in us by our clients. An overview of our governance policies can be found here.
IDEAcarbon's Advisors also play a key role in ensuring the quality and independence of our work. We also benefit from the guidance of the IDEAglobal Advisory Board. IDEAcarbon is widely recognized as a thought-leader in the development of the international carbon markets. Media coverage of our work can be found here.
IDEAcarbon is a privately held company, incorporated in the Isle of Man with offices in Singapore and the UK. IDEAcarbon's USA office is scheduled to open in New York in Q4 2009.
