New Carbon Reporting Guide

PricewaterhouseCoopers has launched a best practices guide to help companies report their carbon emissions ahead of the requirements that will come with the government's new Carbon Reduction Commitment (CRC) legislation.

Next year around 5,000 UK businesses will be required to report their carbon footprint and will enter into an emissions cap-and-trade scheme.

The guide takes companies through a possible scenario with a fake company that explains how the report might be properly compiled. It gives a format that other companies might like to follow as well as an example of a carbon data summary that could be included in an annual report.

Quickly picking up on the carbon reporting practices will help all companies bring forward their emission reduction strategies.
