Document summary

Companies listed on the London Stock Market and FTSE All-Share Index are increasingly including qualitative information about environmental impacts in their statutory annual reports and accounts. Increasingly these disclosures contain quantitative data but scope remains for improvement by increased use of government guidance on key environmental performance indicators. This study reviews the environmental disclosures published in 2009-10 and examines the latest environmental reporting trends, analyses disclosure frameworks, provides examples of good practice in carbon, water and waste reporting and looks at the future of corporate environmental reporting.
