Defra Greenhouse Gas Reporting Guidelines
The Climate Change Act requires Government to introduce regulations requiring the mandatory reporting of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions information under the Companies Act 2006 by 6th April 2012 or lay a report before parliament explaining why this has not happened. There will be a further consultation on this guidance before a decision is made to introduce mandatory reporting requirements.
This guidance is focussed on supporting UK organisations to reduce their contribution to climate change by helping them to measure their emissions. This guidance also explains how organisations may set emission reduction targets.
