ET Asia-Pacific 300 carbon ranking report 2013
The report offers an analysis of the state of emissions reporting across the largest 300 companies in the Asia-Pacific. The ET Carbon Rankings apply a uniform methodology across all sectors within a single public Ranking. This is one in a series of ET 2013 Carbon Ranking Reports covering the world’s largest 1,300 companies. Many companies now benefit from talented, dedicated sustainability staff and are earning top spots for their efforts, but the overall picture globally remains poor. Many companies go to great lengths to collect and analyse detailed greenhouse gas (GHG) data, only to fail at the last hurdle with simple errors in data presentation, such that a member of the public cannot decipher what the data means when set against the accepted GHG Protocol standard, the most widely used international accounting tool for GHG emissions. Unless all companies are reporting and presenting their GHG data in a clear and uniform manner, the task of cross comparing against companies becomes all but impossible.
