Emissions Reporting

 

 

Our Emissions Reporting aims to measure the emissions produced by the combination of our activities. Such reports are able to identify factors that contribute to climate change and help outline subsequent policies to limit a negative impact on climate.

Emissions Reporting enables investors to guide their capital towards companies that are conscious of their impact on climate. It is an opportunity for businesses to be 100% transparent.
