Voluntarily reporting emissions pays off

摘要

New research has found that British businesses that voluntarily report their greenhouse gas emissions experience benefits such as cost savings, improved green credentials, and better relations with investors and customers. The research, published by Defra, found that businesses that measured their emissions were using the results to set targets for reduction and also in a much broader context to influence wider business plans. Businesses that aided the research said that the emission reports triggered board level interest in environmental issues and drove behaviour change across the organisation.
