Business Strategy & Transformation: Carbon Pricing & Financial Impact.

Carbon pricing (internal carbon tax, shadow pricing, carbon accounting) forces carbon costs into financial decision-making. This drives real reduction and creates business opportunities.

1. 1

   Define internal carbon price: What should you charge per ton CO2e? (e.g., $50-$200/ton, depending on industry)

2. 2

   Ask AI: "How do we embed this in financial models? Capital budgeting? Product pricing? P&L?"

3. 3

   Apply to major decisions: New equipment? Supplier choice? Product redesign? Calculate true cost including carbon

4. 4

   Create carbon budget: Allocate emissions allowance per division; if they exceed, they pay internal carbon tax

5. 5

   Reinvest carbon revenue: Fund emissions reduction projects, renewable energy, etc.

We're implementing internal carbon pricing at $[X]/ton. How do we integrate this into our capital budgeting, product pricing, and P&L?

Design a carbon budget system. We want each division to have emissions allowance; exceeding costs money. How do we structure this?
