Emissions disclosure programmes are voluntary schemes in which companies report their greenhouse gas emissions to investors and the public.
The benefits of these programmes are that they help to build investor confidence in a company's ability to manage its emissions, and they can also help to improve a company's environmental performance.
There are a number of emissions disclosure programmes currently in operation, including the Carbon Disclosure Project and the Climate Disclosure Standards Board.
In order to participate in an emissions disclosure programme, a company must first measure its emissions. This can be done using a number of different methodologies, including the Greenhouse Gas Protocol.
Once a company has measured its emissions, it can then report them to investors and the public. This reporting can be done through an online platform, such as the Carbon Disclosure Project's website.
Emissions disclosure programmes are voluntary, but they can have a significant impact on a company's ability to build investor confidence and improve its environmental performance.
