‘Sustainability is probably on slide two or three of every customer presentation now’
Pointing out that sustainability is “probably on slide two or three of every customer presentation now,” Utterback said SEC proposals that would require public companies to disclose their greenhouse gas emissions have ratcheted up pressure on companies to measure and report their emissions according to internationally recognized standards laid out in the World Resources Institute’s Greenhouse Gas Protocol.
“And then the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) is developing guidance on setting science-based targets for Forest, Land, and Agriculture-related greenhouse gas emissions and removals. So I think with this focus on ESG from investors now, I think it’s clear that we need clear protocols that everyone abides by.”
