Carbon offsets considered as residual pathway to Net Zero 2050 A&M acknowledges its growing footprint may need to be offset to meet Net Zero by 2050 through procurement of high-quality carbon offsets. The firm flags risk that offset prices may rise sharply in an Orderly scenario, particularly if key suppliers do not reduce their own emissions. No durable removals (DAC, BECCS, biochar) or specific volumes/vintages disclosed.
