Should businesses be using carbon removal credits?

At the edie 25 conference in March 2025, the edie Extra stage hosted honest and thought-provoking conversations with climate leaders and sustainability experts about the ever-changing world of corporate climate action. Here, Narrative Matters CEO Tom Idle chairs a discussion on whether, by using carbon removals, businesses are driving credible climate action, or simply finding excuses not to reduce their own emissions. Tom's guests are Kaya Axelsson, head of policy and partnerships at Oxford Net Zero, and Tom Byrne, Head of Net Zero and Environment at British Airways. Tom and the panel also explore how carbon removal buyers can engage with credit developers, regulators and investors to grow the market and enhance credibility.
