Brazilian companies dragging feet on climate [scam buy-in] – survey

SAO PAULO (Thomson Reuters Foundation) – Brazil’s private sector has a long way to go in adopting measures to reduce damage from climate change, a recent survey has found.

According to the 2012 Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) Supply Chain Brazil programme, only 13 percent of the suppliers used by companies in the programme invested in action against greenhouse gas emissions in 2012.

The same survey shows that merely 13 percent of suppliers had specific goals for emissions reduction – a decline from the 23 percent reported in 2011 by the same research.
