About Us

Business Idea
IHS Carbon Desk is the upshot of a partnership with Puraction, a company that has been operating on the carbon emissions market since 2008.
Mission
IHS supports companies in the EU’s ETS (Emissions Trading Scheme), in order to find cost-efficient trading solutions. Through the Carbon Desk, IHS guarantees all carbon market operators access to the CO₂ emissions rights market. IHS operates on over-the-counter (OTC) markets, on major trading platforms for emissions certificates (EUA, CER and ERU), on the spot market, in auctions, as well as on derivative markets, offering a wide array of products. Furthermore, IHS offers CO₂ market consultancy services for compliance optimization.

Team
Puraction has teamed up with IHS to form the first “Carbon Desk” in Italy regulated by the EU Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID). This team offers its clients full first-class professional skills in the energy sector combined with Intermonte’s extensive experience in financial markets.

Values
Reliability: IHS guarantees its clients the utmost professional quality, indispensable for building solid and productive business relations.
Efficiency: IHS is fully committed to providing effective answers that are tailored to the client’s needs, by building solid partnerships with them to find the right solutions, as well as by setting up processes to optimize relations with service providers and partners.
Respect: IHS does more than simply ensure that operations will be run in compliance with all regulations in force, but instead goes beyond that, striving to contribute to the client company’s progress.
