Despite its potential to support more informed decision-making around climate risk and capital allocation, the adoption of internal carbon pricing among Europe’s largest listed companies remains uneven. Fewer than one in five companies in the S&P Europe 350 currently report using an internal carbon price, according to analysis from The Conference Board.
An internal carbon price is a monetary value that a company voluntarily assigns to its greenhouse gas emissions. It is used to guide business decisions, assess climate-related risks, and support investment in low-carbon solutions, effectively helping firms internalize the potential costs of carbon in financial planning and strategy.
