Last week Nick Clegg the Deputy Prime Minister annouced at the Rio+ 20 Summit that all businesses listed on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange will have to report their levels of greenhouse gas emissions from the start of the next financial year.
The new regulations will be introduced from April 2013 and they will be reviewed in 2015, before ministers decide whether to extend the approach to all Large companies from 2016. It would come as no surprise for this to include ALL companies large and small by the time 2016 comes around.
Auditel have helped hundreds of clients address the previous Carbon Reduction Commitment legislation and are ideally placed to offer the same support for Greenhouse Gas Emission disclosure. So if you want to understand more about the new requirements please contact me and I will be pleased to help.
