Elisabeth Gsottbauer is a Professor of Environmental Economics at the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, where she also heads the Competence Centre for Sustainability.

This talk looks into carbon offsets and their impact on corporate sustainability efforts. I discuss how, if not carefully handled, carbon offsets might end up more as greenwashing than real help for the environment. It offers insights for companies considering using carbon offsets to reach their net zero goals.
Connect with fellow enthusiasts over drinks and snacks, share ideas, and expand your professional network.
