Where Corporations are Required to Report Their Emissions 🏭

What we’re showing

This map highlights countries where corporate emissions disclosures are mandatory, as of March 2024. This information was sourced from the World Resources Institute (WRI).

Key takeaway

Disclosure mandates for company emissions have been passed in countries covering almost every continent.

Scope 3 emissions get a pass

The WRI believes that incoming rules on climate disclosures across the U.S. and EU could cover 40% of the global economy.

However, climate disclosure rules from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) will not require firms to disclose their Scope 3 emissions.

It’s believed that Scope 3 emissions (those arising from a company’s broader value chain) typically represent 75% of the total.
