REPORTING 78<br />

Asia ex-Japan results from the <strong>2007</strong> Carbon Disclosure<br />

Project reveal that: 1) a range of Asian companies are<br />

increasingly describing strategic business initiatives<br />

to curtail carbon emissions, 2) companies working<br />

on climate change strategies often rely on industry<br />

associations and global NGOs for guidance, 3) the<br />

degree of top management engagement is a critical<br />

determinant in the disclosure of carbon emissions<br />

and the development of formal initiative, 4) pictures<br />

of regional response characteristics are becoming<br />

apparent and 5) the quality and quantity of responses<br />

from Asia’s tech and telecoms companies is notable,<br />

while Asia’s banks and utilities lag their global<br />

counterparts.<br />
