Policy and Advocacy

Market-based climate investment depends on clear, predictable, science-aligned rules. Beyond engages in standard-setting, regulatory processes, and policy development to help ensure the frameworks shaping corporate climate action give companies the clarity and confidence to invest at scale.

Standards Engagement

Beyond contributes the corporate buyer perspective to the voluntary standards and frameworks that shape market integrity. We engage with bodies including the SBTi, ISO, ICVCM, GHG Protocol, and others on topics spanning carbon credit quality, corporate net-zero target-setting, durability, and Scope 3.

Where we work

Beyond focuses its policy and advocacy work in the United States, Europe, UK, and on Article 6 within the UNFCCC framework.

Thought Leadership

Beyond publishes research, consultation responses, and position papers that bring a corporate buyer lens to emerging climate policy and sustainability standards. The goal: helping policymakers and standard-setters understand how regulatory and market design choices affect private sector investment in climate solutions.

Why Policy Engagement Matters

The rules governing corporate climate investment are evolving fast. Voluntary standards, regulatory frameworks, and compliance regimes across multiple jurisdictions are all reshaping how companies make and substantiate climate claims, deploy capital, and measure impact. When those rules lack clarity or coherence, billions in potential investment stay on the sidelines.

Getting this right takes both sides of the conversation — companies bringing real-world experience, and policymakers designing frameworks grounded in how capital actually moves. Beyond connects the two, turning corporate experience into actionable input for standard-setters and regulators. At the same time, we help members make sense of evolving policy landscapes and act on them.
