Sustainability Leaders Dinner with Varaha and Patch

An internal carbon price (ICP) only matters if it changes decisions. Join a small‑group dinner in Zurich on March 24 for two project spotlights and a practical ICP playbook. Ikarus Janzen, CCO at Varaha will share their approach to building high‑quality, smallholder‑focused biochar, enhanced-rock weathering, and nature‑based carbon projects across South Asia and East Africa. Pirmin Aregger, Co‑founder at Recoal (Rainbow certified), will then share how Recoal structures and verifies its project and the realities of deployment on the ground. Separately, Patch Climate Strategist Ben Field will outline a pragmatic path to establishing and governing an internal carbon price, based on our recently launched report in collaboration with BCG and the University of Oxford, that influences budgets and behaviour. Expect good food, open conversation, and cross‑industry peers.
