5th March 2004 - Trucost Briefing - Environmental Reporting - Expect More

Company directors are facing an ever-increasing burden of environmental reporting, stemming in part from a wider legislative focus on improving corporate governance standards. This Trucost Briefing covers:

- New law in US pushing internal control and compliance costs significantly higher

- Non-US companies investigating whether to delist to avoid higher compliance costs

- Delisting from a US stock exchange alone does not release a company from its Sarbanes-Oxley obligations

- Draft OFR guidelines expected in March 2004 in UK

- Polluter Pays Principle to be enshrined in EU law by May 2004

- Companies facing increased burden of reporting, company directors carry personal liability
