ENERGY BUSINESS: GOLD AWARD WINNER 2006
EXCELLENCE IN EMISSION MARKETS
In recognition of its excellence in creating the first alliance between a financial institution and industry to address emission reduction management, this year’s Gold Award goes to Société Générale.
Together with Rhodia Energy Services, Société Générale created orbeo, which followed one of the largest private CO2 transactions linked to two large CDM projects developed by Rhodia in Korea and Brazil, with the transactions registered with the United Nations in a CDM project development capacity.
In addition to this ground breaking joint venture, Société Générale also invested €10m in the European Carbon Fund (ECF), the first non-governmental fund dedicated to the purchase of carbon instruments, which gives CER/ERU sellers the opportunity to gain access to a large investment capacity through a transparent, liquid and secure buying policy.
