LOS ANGELES, CA — The desire to be environmentally friendly and the promise of saving money through improved efficiency were cited in a recent survey as the most significant drivers for companies to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions.
The vast majority of companies that report their emissions to the Climate Registry said their future greenhouse management or reduction plans were not contingent on future climate change regulations, according to the nonprofit’s annual member survey published Monday.
Instead, most members in the survey said, reporting and verifying emissions inventories are hallmarks of being an environmental climate leader, in addition to setting goals, reducing emissions, incorporating the data into sustainability reports, and encouraging greenhouse gas management for their suppliers.
