» Debate over setting surrender charges for carbon units
2/February/2012 20:04 from The Sustainability Report
The government is consulting with stakeholders on regulations to establish surrender charge for international carbon units that liable companies could purchase to offset carbon emission liabilities. Brokers say that the government must select a policy that minimises administrative costs for liable companies and creates certainty to allow liable companies to manage their future liabilities. Under the government’s Clean Energy Future legislation , from July 2015 to June 2018, the price of offsetting a tonne of carbon emissions will be priced within a relative band – a floor of AU$15/tonne..

Sky reports impressively, if avoiding any mention of its company chairman You will search in vain for mention of James Murdoch within the 117 pages of UK television company Sky’s latest corporate responsibility report, even though he is chairman of BSkyB (which trades as Sky). To be fair, the Bigger Picture Review covers the year to June 30 2011, a period that did not fully embrace the unsuccessful investor initiative to oust Murdoch over concerns that his links to the phone-hacking scandal at News Corporation would damage BSkyB’s reputation.

Cigarette manufacturers are overstepping the line in their opposition to Australia’s new packaging rules, says Mallen Baker British American Tobacco has infuriated Australian legislators with a cheeky response to the enforcement of plain packaging for cigarettes. Its French brand Winfield has started putting pictures of Kangaroos on its packaging, with the legend “an Australian favourite”. It’s the kind of “up yours” gesture you’d more associate with Ryanair than a tobacco company. But the uncharacteristic humour shouldn’t get in the way of the deadly seriousness of the scrap currently unfold..

Cette déclaration de François Hollande pose toutefois deux problèmes. Le PS veut-il créer une nouvelle \"autorité\" qui dira quelles sont les bonnes entreprises et les mauvaises sur le plan social?
