Forward thinking companies around the world are already moving beyond monitoring and reducing their emissions to designing strategies to achieve lower cost compliance under carbon regulations. 

Those at the head of the pack are eyeing these emerging markets as opportunities to launch new products, add value to existing products or create new products and technologies. 

Sigma Global has more than a decade’s worth of hands-on experience operating in the global environmental markets and were amongst the pioneers in carbon banking and the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM). We have worked with many companies, from some of the world’s largest to two-man clean tech start-ups, to devise strategies that allow them to effectively operate in our increasingly carbon constrained world.

Amongst our employees we hold trading experience gained across a number of environmental markets. We also have strong project development experience in the CDM and other accreditation schemes with a particular emphasis on the commercial, contractual and legal aspects of projects. We have recently advised several companies on strategies under the Australian Carbon Pricing Mechanism and the Carbon Farming Initiative.  
At Sigma we apply our extensive hands-on experience to design strategies that aim to:

- Reduce risks associated with environmental regulation and creating carbon credits
- Lower compliance costs
- Inform carbon sales, purchase and trading activities for compliance and financial companies
- Manage compliance obligations with a blend of carbon credit projects and purchasing 
- Generate revenue by identifying:   
   * Energy efficiency measures   
   * Carbon credit projects   
   * Added value offerings for existing products   
   * New products   
   * Environmental regulations that benefit new technologies

Sigma Global developed a strategy aimed at reducing compliance costs with advent of the Australian Carbon Pricing Mechanism. We first provided a synthesis of the legislation in an easy to read format focussing on features that are relevant for the company. Next we undertook a consultation process over the space of several workshops and discussions which involved management and operational personnel. The results of this process were used to map out key organisational and risk management considerations as well as to identify potential opportunities. From these considerations we developed a carbon management strategy focussed on using markets and projects to reduce the cost of compliance under the scheme. Timelines and pricing forecasts were also used to guide the upcoming implementation of the strategy.
