A market leader in risk management for many years, Scotia Capital has recently responded to clients' increased interest in energy hedging as a result of fluctuating oil prices, finite fossil fuel supplies, government policies and incentives and public climate change concern by expanding its risk management team to include an energy derivatives group.

The Global Energy Solutions (GES) team works with producers and consumers of energy to help mitigate their exposure to energy prices. GES has the ability to assist with the trading of carbon emission credits or green energy credits and works with clients to structure programs that accomplish their desired carbon reduction goals. In order to assist our clients throughout the development of carbon emissions markets, we are working to educate and inform industry leaders on new market and policy evolution.
