Emissions are being cut abroad, but pollution stays at home. Experts in energy management stress that companies need to prove that they cut emissions on their own sites instead of offsetting them elsewhere in the world. Corporate Accountability’s report, released this summer, warned of rising risks for companies that depend solely on carbon offsets to support their sustainability claims, including the risk of court challenges over misleading claims, and growing financial and reputational damage tied to climate-related litigation. In the report, analysts examined 43 of the largest offset projects in the voluntary carbon market, and most were ‘unlikely to deliver the…

Image source: Rolls-Royce plc The rise of the Rolls-Royce (LSE: RR) share price almost beggars belief. The shares sank to 28p during the Trussonomics mini-budget; now they’re inching towards £11.
