Defra has published a report which showed large businesses that measure and report their greenhouse gas emissions are experiencing net benefits, including cost savings and increased competitiveness.

Defra has also published a report showing the total carbon footprint of UK central Government from 1990 to 2008. This includes the emissions from sources such as buildings, vehicles and other equipment. For the first time, it also includes the ‘embedded emissions’ of the goods and services bought by Government.
