	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/09/2015 answer text <p>The Government requires quoted companies to report on greenhouse gas emissions for which they are responsible. Quoted companies are also required to report on environmental matters to the extent it is necessary for an understanding of the company’s business within their annual report. In the Summer Budget 2015, the Government announced it will review the business energy efficiency tax landscape and consider approaches to simplify and improve the effectiveness of the regime. The review will consider the Climate Change Levy (CCL), Carbon Reduction Commitment energy efficiency scheme and their interaction with other business energy efficiency policies and regulations. The Government aims to develop a simple, fair and more efficient energy environment for business that minimises administrative burdens and incentivises business to invest, save carbon and grow. A consultation will be launched in autumn 2015. The Government also supports the Carbon Disclosure Project and encourages companies to measure their environmental risk to be better able to manage these risks strategically. The introduction of carbon reporting obligations for institutional investors in France is a matter for the French Government.</p> answering member constituency Broxtowe answering member printed Anna Soubry question first answered 10/09/2015 14:22:52 answering member 3938 label Biography information for Anna Soubry
