Quarter of world's biggest firms 'fail to disclose emissions'

Grantham Research Institute found half do not factor climate crisis in decision-making

About a quarter of the world's highest-emitting publicly listed companies fail to report their greenhouse gas emissions and nearly half do not properly consider the risks from the climate crisis in their decision-making, new research has found.

The findings show the distance even the world's biggest companies still have to cover to meet the goals of the Paris agreement on climate change, according to the group of investors coordinating the report.
