“Signing an agreement with Ecopolis Certification and Service LLC is a continuation of
our great work to develop the necessary national carbon market infrastructure,” says
Dmitry Chernyshev, vice-president of SPIMEX. – In the developing trend of trading in
low-carbon goods, a system of certification of the carbon footprint of commercial
products recognized by foreign counterparties is of paramount importance. In turn, this
trend will contribute to the monetization of the benefits of “green” products of Russian
companies using the best available technologies. The participation of Ecopolis experts,
as a representative of the well-known foreign certification brand Vericco, in the
development of industry standards for low-carbon products will allow us to establish
clear quantitative criteria for products with the best climatic properties recognized by the
industry business community.”
“We are very pleased, together with SPIMEX, to take part in the formation of a system
for assessing and verifying the carbon footprint of products, developing trade in goods
with a calculated, verified carbon footprint,” said Vyacheslav Vekovtsev, General
Director of Ecopolis Certification and Service LLC. – The key goal of the new climate
doctrine, approved on October 26, 2023, is to achieve carbon neutrality in Russia no
later than 2060. Trade in goods with a calculated and verified carbon footprint of
products according to strict criteria will allow goods from Russian manufacturers to
maintain competitiveness, increase competitive advantage, maintain or find new
markets, and make a significant contribution to the implementation of the climate
strategy to achieve national carbon neutrality. Together with SPIMEX, we will find the
best solutions and incentives for Russian companies to implement low-carbon
development strategies, including through the introduction of low-carbon resource-
saving technologies and increasing business sustainability.”
