Carbon Countdown
A survey of executive opinion on climate change in the countdown to a carbon economy
During November 2007, PwC undertook a survey of CEO's and CFO's from 303 major Australian companies, with turnovers greater than A$150 million. The survey reveals some useful insights for both business and government. Over 80% of our surveyed business leaders agree that business should take an active role in responding to climate change and expressed a strong desire for more information about how to respond to climate change.
However many worried about compliance requirements with the impending regulations, with 67% saying they were concerned or unsure what their obligations were. Only 2% of the surveyed business leaders expressed a high level of confidence in the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions data they had, while as many as 36% had no data about their business’s emissions at all.
