CorporateRegister.com, the world's largest repository of CSR reports, launched a new site feature today, the result of a partnership with CO2Benchmark. This new feature, located under ‘Performance’ in Company Profiles, will provide carbon performance data for over 500 corporations, a figure that should grow to over 3,000 with time.

Our analyst team has completed a comprehensive survey of the carbon performance of 55 banks. 

CO2Benchmark has contacted hundreds of organisations to get their success stories and has reviewed over 1,000 case studies to aggregate the best examples of carbon reduction initiatives. The team of analysts has applied the following vigorous criteria for them to be included in the database:

CO2Benchmark has integrated details of 43,000 the toxic emissions from 2008 into its database.

These emissions are from manufacturing plants in the USA and cover 600 chemicals.

A simple search by sector or company yields all the emissions details in a table format. Results can be ordered by toxin, plant and quantity.

CO2Benchmark also holds production capacity data of 550 manufacturing plants that publish their toxic emissions. This allows our team of analysts to perform detailed benchmarking studies comparing emissions on a per ton output basis. 

Last month, CO2benchmark was mentioned in a range of on-line publications. This coincided with our first major public appearance at the SustainabilityLive expo in Birmingham:

Business In The Community (BITC) launched the Prince's May Day Network, which is the UK’s largest group of businesses committed to taking action on climate change.  By sharing best practice, these businesses promise to play a powerful role in reducing the UK's carbon emissions.
The BITC has put together a comprehensive website with information for businesses and has selected CO2benchmark's service as their benchmarking tool.

A new estimation algorithm is now available on our website.

It is based on data published in 2007 by the BERR (Department for Business Enterprise and Regulatory Reform in the UK) and the Office of National Statistics in the UK. Data from the BERR was computed using:
