Intercontinental Exchange, Inc. has launched ICE GreenTraceTM, a technology service for carbon credit registries, which Winrock International's Environmental Resources Trust has migrated its leading carbon crediting programs ACR and ART to. This migration involved transferring over two and a half decades of GHG emission reduction and removal credits, aiming to leverage ICE's financial market infrastructure to scale carbon markets and meet the demands of institutional investors globally. The section discusses the record number of environmental contracts traded on ICE in 2025, totaling over $1 trillion in notional value, highlighting ERT's programs that issue high-quality CO2 emission reduction credits and promote forest protection through ART. Additionally, ERT has developed a carbon crediting standard for the electric power sector to incentivize emissions reductions in line with the Paris Agreement goals, addressing potential risks related to climate change and its impact on ICE's operations outlined in their SEC filings.
