Measuring and reporting greenhouse emissions |

Tuesday, 16 June 2009 |
 Two Government departments, Defra and DECC, have opened a joint public consultation on draft guidance setting out how organisations should measure and report on their greenhouse gas emissions.
The guidance is a requirement of the Climate Change Act 2008, and sets out how organisations should calculate their carbon footprint. The consultation is open until 7 August 2009, with the final guidance published on 1 October 2009. There is a stick here, but also a bit of a carrot as the guidance will help busienesses to identify and address energy and resource inefficiencies, which should save money.
You can find the consultation documents on the Defra website.
