1. Introduction of Reporting Carbon Dioxide Emission in UK and Application Small
organizations
The regulation of the United Kingdom government to include the carbon dioxide
emission information of the all the factories and plants of the publically listed companies is good
move and all the stakeholders have welcomed this move from the British government. This will
make UK meet their requirement of the European Union target of cutting the emission of carbon
dioxide gas from their factories. But this will only apply on the big companies that are publically
listed companies but it will not apply on the small companies as they are not listed on the main
stock exchange of the United Kingdom. So this regulation will help the companies achieve these
targets (Donald G. Kaufman; Cecilia M. Franz 1996).
The author has said that the Carbon Dioxide emission reporting is an engine for the social
progress of the company and it helps the company in living up to their responsibilities as a global
citizen and the neighbors in the local areas in this rapid changing world (Donald G. Kaufman;
Cecilia M. Franz 1996). The author has said that the Carbon Dioxide emission reporting is not
only an ethical responsibility of the organization but it is reason or bottom line pay-off (Donald
G. Kaufman; Cecilia M. Franz 1996).
