Making Advances in Carbon Management: Best Practice from the Carbon Information Leaders

Report cover -- licensed by CDP and IBM

As companies find their way managing their carbon footprints, they
must collect accurate data, engage their stakeholders and realize that
the process is a constantly evolving work-in-progress.

A research report from the Carbon Disclosure Project and IBM delving into the carbon management practices of 11 United Kingdom companies uncovered these and other best practices that have been compiled into a guide from the Carbon Disclosure Project and IBM.

The report explores the ways in which companies set reduction goals and develop strategies, as well as the emerging role of carbon information managers.

"To begin working with carbon information, organizations need to get their basic data collection process right and establish a network of cooperative internal and external relationships," the report said. "Continual improvement is the aim. At present, as might be expected, carbon data does not flow within organizations with the same ease as long-established data like financial information -- but all our participants expect this to change for the better."
