NSF International, a
public health and safety organization, and Trucost
Plc, a global provider of environmental data and analysis, recently
announced the availability of a new report entitled, Carbon Emissions – Measuring the Risks.
This free report examines the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of S&P 500
companies in several different sectors, highlighting
the importance of measuring and managing emissions to reduce costs.
 “Climate change represents serious challenges to the
environment, as well as risks and opportunities to U.S. corporations. The first step
in mitigating those risks is to calculate carbon emissions and their potential
costs from direct operations and supply chains,” said Malcolm Fox, Vice
President Corporate Services, Trucost, NSF International Partner. “Industry by
industry, this report presents those impacts and identifies critical strategies
to prepare for upcoming legislation and turns risks into a competitive
advantage.”
“Carbon-intensive companies
will be most exposed to carbon costs under the cap-and-trade program to be
introduced in 2012,”
said Koen Bontinck, Vice President of NSF Sustainability Services. “The goal of
this report is to not only provide companies with an affordable analysis of
their current operations and exposure to carbon costs, but also to help them
implement sustainable business practices and verify their GHG emissions data in
preparation for the new regulations.”
