Abstract:
... Corporate eco-efficiency should be managed to take environmental responsibility for climate change mitigation. However, firms have difficulty determining what eco-efficiency metric is appropriate, what key performance indicators are to be managed, and what characteristics of environmental reporting are effective for environmental management. Thus, this study develops and measures a corporate CO2 a ...

This paper uses an energy model coupled with a non-CO₂ greenhouse gas model to assess the range of policy options that were debated to meet both targets. Policy options include trading of renewable targets, carbon trading in pow ...
