The International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) and carbon accounting coalition Carbon Measures announced today the selection of an initial cohort of experts, aimed at supporting an initiative to develop a new global ledger-based carbon emissions accounting system, capable of tracking product-level emissions across the value chain.

The selection of the panel follows the launch of Carbon Measures in October 2025, creating a new coalition aimed at advancing a more accurate and consistent accounting framework to track carbon emissions at the company and product level, and carbon intensity standards for key industrial products. Led by former EY Global Vice Chair of Sustainability Amy Brachio, launch members of Carbon Measures included ADNOC, Air Liquide, Banco Santander, BASF, Bayer, CF Industries, EQT Corporation, ExxonMobil, EY, BlackRock’s Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP), Honeywell, Linde, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Mitsui & Co., Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd., NextEra Energy, Nucor, the Port of Rotterdam, and Vale.

According to ICC and Carbon Measures, the responsibilities of the new panel will include defining the principles, scope and real-world applications of the new carbon emissions accounting system.

Members of the new panel span industry, science, civil society and academia, and include Amy Luers, Head of Sustainability Science and Innovation at Microsoft; Armin Knors, Former Head of Engineering and Technology at Bayer; Benedikt Plümper, Head of ESG Portfolio Management CIB at Banco Santander; Billy Pizer, President and Chief Executive Officer at Resources for the Future, Jakob Stausholm, Fellow at Blavatnik School of Government, University of Oxford, and Former Chief Executive Officer of Rio Tinto; Kate Maher, Professor at Stanford University; Koushik Chatterjee, Executive Director and Chief Financial Officer, Member of the Board at Tata Steel Limited; Rachel Teo, Managing Director, Private Family Office (Singapore), and; Tatsuya “Todd” Hoshino, Executive Strategist, Methanol & Ammonia Div. at Mitsui and Co.

Amy Brachio, CEO of Carbon Measures, said:

“Each of these experts brings deep technical knowledge and a long-standing commitment to reducing emissions. What’s been most striking is the calibre of interested candidates we’ve seen globally – lifelong leaders who want to lend their experience to help get this right.”

ICC and Carbon Measures said that more experts will be named to the panel prior to the groups’ first meeting later this quarter, with ICC leading the selection process and ICC and Carbon Measures jointly agreeing on the final composition.

Andrew Wilson, Deputy Secretary General of ICC, said:

“The initial appointments to the panel bring an exceptional depth and range of experience – reflecting the diversity of expertise that will be required to unlock carbon accounting as a tool to accelerate decarbonization across the economy.”
