Banks and commodity traders find themselves caught between mounting regulatory pressure to decarbonize portfolios and the lack of standardized, granular carbon liability metrics tied to specific commodities and supply chains.

This results in opaque pricing, risk blindspots, and uncertainty around capital allocation—are firms inadvertently incentivizing high-emission practices simply because carbon is not priced into their lending framework?

The main barrier is the absence of reliable, transaction-level integration of carbon data into financial assessment tools.

Data gaps, lack of interoperable platforms, and misaligned incentives between supply chain actors make carbon liabilities invisible or inconsistently weighted within credit assessments.
