Description

The EU carbon market has evolved from a regulatory compliance mechanism into a strategic driver of transformation across French industry. With tightening emissions targets, steadily rising CO₂ allowance prices, and the expansion of sectors covered by the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS), companies are facing not just growing pressures, but also new opportunities.

In recent years, the EU carbon market has evolved from a regulatory compliance mechanism into a strategic driver of transformation across French industry. With tightening emissions targets, steadily rising CO₂ allowance prices, and the expansion of sectors covered by the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS), companies are facing not just growing pressures, but also new opportunities.

Looking ahead to 2025 and beyond, the ability to anticipate carbon market volatility, implement effective hedging strategies, and accelerate the energy transition will no longer be a competitive advantage, it will be a prerequisite for resilience. At Vertis, we are already supporting a wide range of companies in navigating this increasingly central element of industrial cost and competitiveness.  We discussed this and other related issues with Le Figaro.
