UK Company with large carbon footprint…help please!?
Hi,
I am doing a presentation on why it is important in business to use renewable energy. I really need some facts and figures, maybe sustainability reports etc, for companies that are taking measures to reduce their carbon footprint by using renewable energy (such as Tesco) and those companies which are not, and have a large carbon footprint (eg Shell).
Does anybody have any ideas?
Thanks
tesco are greenwashing, see all that heating, fridges, trucks…. they only generate a tiny fraction of what they use, made no moves yet to rationalise their distribution network, put doors on the fridges etc.
better to compare smaller genuinely greening company like the body shop or the co-operative with smaller ‘greenwashing’ company like morrisons or ford u.k..
you can get a lot of information from their own sites, all reputable businesses publish financial reports etc.

the mod sustainable development report details how they are exceeding prescribed reduction targets in some areas (water reductions, renewable energy projects etc) it doesn’t take account of foreign expenditure though, worth a look maybe?
