All About the Carbon Disclosure Project

Here's a little tid bit you ought to be aware of - the Carbon Disclosure Project is a massive repository of informaion on greenhouse gas emissions voluntarily disclosed by over 2000 major companies. It's 4th edition launched in September and offers detailed survey responses from each company involved.

But what makes a company, especially in the United States, voluntarily take the time to disclose their carbon footprint? It's a process that might presumably reveal secrets afterall. It's not just goodwill - a company that is prepared to provide this information voluntarily is a company that will be far more prepared to present it if and when government regulations require it. It also makes for a more transparent public relations with shareholders and critics alike, and that's almost as good as a reduction in emissions.
