While the Brazilian government is still studying options for carbon pricing, Brazilian companies have taken the lead on the issue and have already adopted internal \u2013 and voluntary \u2013 carbon pricing mechanisms. The mechanism brings this important variable into business decisions, and allows companies to have predictability about a possible carbon tax in the near future, before deciding on an investment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The national business role was even highlighted in the report State and Trend 2018 of Carbon Pricing<\/em>, from the World Bank. The stance reflects the position set out in the open letter presented at the end of 2017, within the scope of the Climate Business Initiative (IEC), led by the Brazilian Business Council for Sustainable Development (CEBDS).<\/p>\n

The document, prepared with the support of Carbon Pricing Leadership Coalition<\/em> (CPLC), from the World Bank, defends the establishment of a pricing mechanism suited to the Brazilian economy and the country's Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions profile. With the support of 25 CEOs and CFOs of large companies and organizations, the movement aims to encourage investments and ensure the competitiveness of companies in a low-carbon scenario, guarantee the competitiveness of companies and stimulate low-emission technological innovation.<\/p>\n

The president of CEBDS and member of the Steering Committee<\/em> from CPLC, Marina Grossi, highlighted the effort, together with senior government leadership, in implementing pricing mechanisms in the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cPricing carbon generates a competitive advantage for the country and, at this point, Brazil is far behind. We are committed to reducing emissions as part of our contribution to the Paris Agreement, and pricing is the most cost-effective way to accelerate achievement of targets. In July, a study, commissioned by CEBDS, is scheduled to be delivered to the Minister of Finance on the strategic decision to price carbon\u201d, explains Marina, highlighting that the internal pricing movement is growing exponentially among companies.<\/p>\n
