Teneo is providing communications and stakeholder services for Saudi Arabia’s Regional Voluntary Carbon Market Co., the kingdom's platform to combat global warming.
Established in October 2022, RVCM is 80 percent-owned by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund. It serves as an auction house in which buyers in the MENA region can bid on carbon credits to bolster the transition to net zero emissions.
