Are Corporate Carbon Management Practices Reducing Corporate Carbon Emissions?

Abstract: This paper is the first large scale, quantitative study of the impact of corporate carbon management practices on corporate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Using data for 2009 and 2010 from the Carbon Disclosure Project survey, we find little compelling evidence that commonly adopted management practices are reducing emissions. This finding is unexpected and we propose three possible explanations for it. First, it may be because corporate carbon data and management practice information have not been reported i… Show more

“…The Energy and Materials sectors in the US should strengthen their targets with deeper emission cuts. According to [30], more stringent targets in these two dirty sectors can lead to higher emission reduction. Analysis in Section 4.4 highlights that the Energy sector and the Materials sector in the EU and the US are not making satisfactory progress toward target completion.…”

“…The study argued that the target-setting process should be improved to incorporate well-defined criteria and complete conformity checks. Also, the link between target-setting and emission reduction has been examined based on CDP data of 2009-2010 [30]. Significantly positive associations were identified between target adoption and emission reduction for non-financial sectors, and between target stringency and emission reduction for dirty sectors and sectors under the EU ETS.…”
