Platts updates pricing history for Platts-Viridios CARBEX Indices to Jan. 4, 2016

S&P Global Platts has updated the daily and monthly pricing data for all six of its Platts-Viridios CARBEX Carbon Credit Indices to Jan. 4, 2016, with effect from Jan. 21, 2022.

Platts first launched the CARBEX indices in partnership with Viridios AI on Aug. 23, 2021: https://www.spglobal.com/platts/en/our-methodology/subscriber-notes/082321-platts-launches-six-new-carbon-credit-indices-powered-by-viridios-ai

The six Platts-Viridios carbon credit indices reflect the different types of voluntary carbon credits and enhance market transparency in the voluntary carbon credit and co-benefit markets. Co-benefits are attributes of carbon credits which provide evidence of meeting the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) defined by the United Nations General Assembly.
