This research was commissioned by the Carbon Trust, and explores the reasons why companies working with the Carbon Trust take action on climate change. The research looks in particular at the role of policy and legislation in encouraging businesses to take further steps to manage their carbon emissions.

The work involved a series of qualitative interviews with Carbon Trust clients from a range of sectors. Research findings were discussed at a round-table seminar attended by business and government representatives, policy experts and Carbon Trust clients.

The report’s findings helped to inform the Carbon Trust’s position on the Government’s 2006 Energy Review.
