Strategic Partnerships for Climate Action
South Pole has taken a significant step towards advancing climate action in Southeast Asia and Oceania. The company signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Asia Platinum Capital Berhad to develop high-integrity carbon assets across the region. This partnership aims to channel climate finance into nature and innovation projects, driving measurable climate impact in an area that is increasingly becoming a hub for carbon finance.
Ladaporn Khunikakorn, Regional Director for Climate Projects in SEA & Oceania at South Pole, emphasized the importance of this collaboration in scaling high-impact climate projects. The partnership is expected to contribute to meaningful carbon reductions while unlocking long-term investment opportunities, aligning with South Pole's mission to deliver true climate impact for all through carbon markets and accelerating low-carbon transformations.

Advocacy for Enhanced Corporate Net-Zero Standards
South Pole's CEO addressed the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) Board of Trustees as the consultation for the draft Corporate Net-Zero 2.0 Standard concluded. The company applauded the efforts to revise the standard, noting significant progress in aligning metrics, increasing flexibility in scope 3 emissions, focusing on accountability and transparency, and introducing new requirements for climate transition plans.
However, South Pole emphasized the need for further action to accelerate corporate climate efforts. The CEO outlined key recommendations for SBTi, including enhancing accountability for ongoing emissions to extend the current carbon budget's lifespan and incentivizing the development of carbon removal capacity for residual emissions. These suggestions aim to keep net-zero goals within reach, especially crucial as global average temperatures surpassed 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels for the first time in 2024.
