The next generation of carbon management
Closing the capability gap: why the organizations that get this right aren’t the ones with the most sophisticated software.
What makes this guide different
3
capability layers behind every audit-ready carbon program — technology, governance, and expertise, treated as one question instead of three separate purchases
€100
the per-tonne CBAM penalty now in effect, since the mechanism entered its definitive period on January 1, 2026
2026
the year the regulatory curve didn’t flatten — it bent, narrowing in the EU, hardening in the US, still expanding elsewhere
What you will learn
Why carbon management stopped being a technology problem and became a governance, process, and organizational capability challenge
What actually changed in CSRD, CSDDD, CBAM, EU ETS2, and California’s SB 253 and SB 261 in 2026 — and what those changes mean for your reporting calendar
The three pressures now compounding on sustainability teams that never existed in this combination before
Why two companies can buy the same carbon platform and land in entirely different places eighteen months later
What a genuinely capable platform needs to do differently, and how Position
Green’s next-generation carbon management is being built against that standard
Why this guide matters
Carbon management software has never been more capable, yet the organizations that bought it are still describing the same problems: fragmented ownership, coordination burden, compliance whiplash across CSRD, CBAM, and SB 253. That’s because the gap sits above the software, not inside it. This guide gives you an honest look at why the organizational layer is where most programs stall — and what a genuinely capable platform needs to do differently.
