If you have ever wondered about the paperwork required to do anything in Thailand, think about the Brits with their new Greenhouse Gases emissions regulations.
These new regulations require UK companies that are listed on the London Stock Exchange to report on their greenhouse gas emissions as part of their annual directors’ report. It includes reporting on greenhouse gases including methane and nitrous oxides, not just CO2 emissions. Affected companies will need to include a greenhouse gas emissions statement in their directors’ report for the first financial year ending after 30th September 2013.
The reporting shows GHG emissions across a whole fleet, by vehicle, by manufacturer and split out by greenhouse gas. GHGs are calculated from the actual fuel used where this is available. The regulations allow for GHGs to otherwise be calculated by miles travelled and vehicle type.
Farmers should not smile at this. Wait till the government starts bringing in legislation for farting cows!
