Introduction: This paper introduces the existing state of carbon accounting in profit organisations in UK and Russia, and critically analyse the differences of carbon accounting policies applied in two countries. To better identify the issue, BG Group (in UK) and Gazprom (in Russia) are chosen as examples to compare the differences of measurement and disclosure on carbon emissions and greenhouse gas related activities. In the end, the motivations to improve the quality of disclosure are analysed…

will be proposed. Economic co-benefits such as investment in renewable clean energy sources can reduce reliance on fossil fuels; carbon fee or tax on fossil fuels is being proposed by some countries; this is the amount that companies will be charged based on the carbon contained in fossil fuels. This will encourage businesses to reduce production of carbon dioxide or greenhouse gases-emitting products and focus on investment in alternative-energy technologies. Some countries have started…

acknowledge the trier of fact to define evidence and determine the fact of the issue. Evidence obtained by expert witness’s must be based off of sufficient facts produced by applicable, reliable, principles and methods. In response to Daubert v. Merrill Daw Pharmaceuticals ( 509 U.S. 579 (1993), and other cases applying the Daubert standard. Under the Daubert standard the expert’s theory must be testable, the technique or theory has been publicized or subject to peer review, obtained a rate of…

starch digested, was overall quite consistent. The average values for tube 2 which was at 4°C and tube 3 at 24°C were 0.03 mg/mL and 0.24 mg/mL respectively. The corresponding standard deviation values for tube 2 and 3 were found to be 0.037 and 0.063 respectively. Finally the standard error for tube 2 was 0.012 and the standard error for tube 3 was 0.021. Following the second experiment that determined the concentration of starch digested, a t-test was performed with the data collected. The…

economy. By the year 2016, new cars and trucks would require an average fuel economy standard of 35.5 miles per gallon which would save a total of 1.8 billion barrels of oils over the life of the program. This would also allow the fuel economy to gain an average of more than five percent every year. Ultimately, there would be a 900 million metric tons of greenhouse emissions that would be reduced. The standards set up in this policy surpassed the CAFE Law that was passed by Congress in 2007.…

The positive aspect is that the total footprint is almost based on the production meaning that Apple is maximizing recycling goods and materials, and shipping without causing too large of a carbon footprint (Senthil & Sakthi, 2015).. However, one must wonder what new technology that they are using are production…

A total of four hypotheses were examined using the following variables: feelings of tension and anxiety before and after watching a video in which a news story covered a student going to a college campus with the intent of harming people, perceived threat while watching the video, perceived threat while watching similar news coverages, the number of hours a day spent consuming news, and participant gender. First, to test the hypothesis that feelings of tension and anxiety will be higher after…

Moana Ola encourages a healthy post-2020 climate change target in line with keeping global warming below 2°C that is ambitious and achievable. As part of New Zealand’s contribution to the universal climate change agreement, an economy-wide target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 40% by 2030 compared to 1990 levels. This type of commitment will require robust policies and coordinated action across the integrated sectors as determined by decisions of the UNFCCC Conference of the…

1 introduction The mineral oil company Petrobras was founded by the former Brazilian president Getúlio Vargas in 1953, accompanied by his very own exclamation “The petroleum is ours” (Dias and Quaglino 1993: 64). This phrase has since remained present by giving distinction to the firm’s history and is therefore equally applicable to the firm’s exploiting activities on the Bolivian market, where the parastatal company started operating in 1996 (Goldstein 2007: 114). After the conclusion of…
