Mandatory carbon emission reporting is needed say IEMA

04.10.2010

The Institute of Environmental Management and Assessment (IEMA) report that 80% of environmental professionals say that for UK businesses to play their part in the green economy then mandatory reporting is needed.

The IEMA is calling on the UK government to introduce mandatory reporting for UK businesses on greenhouse gas emissions (GHG).

 

“The majority of companies in the UK are not taking action to lower their carbon footprint and reduce their GHG emissions. These companies are missing an opportunity to cut their GHG emissions and reduce their costs. Over 80% of those we surveyed say that mandatory reporting of GHG emissions should be introduced for companies,” said Martin Baxter, IEMA’s Executive Director of Policy upon the launch.
