Internal Carbon Pricing & Shadow Carbon Strategy
Price carbon inside the firm before regulators price it outside.
The executive challenge
The problem this program solves
The sustainability report describes ambition the operations cannot verify: internal carbon pricing commitments made in good faith and defended with estimated data. Commitment inflation has a reckoning: targets your operations cannot meet become the next scandal, written in your own report. You leave with a baselined, costed and sequenced internal carbon pricing blueprint — and the data architecture to defend every number in it.

The IPAT Course Standard
The five-day journey
Each day is a deliberate progression in managerial capability — from strategic context, to analytical frameworks, to applied practice, to executive judgement under pressure, to a capstone that produces something your organisation keeps.
IPAT Signature Case™
The Green Bond With a Leaky Framework
A national airline issued the region’s first green bond to strong demand. Six months later, an NGO alleges 30% of proceeds financed activities the framework never intended — and the framework was written by the deal team, not by risk.
Your decision: Decide the response: disclosure, remediation, and who owns the next internal carbon pricing framework.
IPAT Data Lab™
The internal carbon pricing claims in a national airline’s report cannot survive an assurance engagement — yet.
Dataset: Synthetic ESG data-pipeline extracts with estimation gaps and inconsistent boundaries.
Your task: Repair the pipeline, rebuild the disclosure-grade numbers, and run the assurance pre-check.
