We are pleased to report that Glenda has signed a letter to the Prime Minister, along with several other MPs, on the issue of mandatory carbon reporting. The group believe that the government has weakened an amendment that it accepted in the Lords for mandatory carbon reporting standards, and that its new proposals do not reflect the urgency or magnitude of the issue, nor correspond with their vision for robust and transparent carbon counting under the Bill.

At present there are widely supported standard and voluntary initiatives such as the Carbon Disclosure Project, but the reporting of clear and comparable quantified information on carbon emissions from the corprate sector remains inconsistent and variable.

We will keep you up-to-date with the reply which we get from Gordon Brown. To read the letter in full, please click here.
