Briefing
Clearer Accounting for Clean Air
Meaningful progress to improve air quality requires coordinated action across all sectors, particularly from high-polluting industries. Transparent corporate disclosures are needed to hold companies to account for the air pollution they cause, and to support them to align their activities with national health objectives.
This policy briefing sets out recommendations to the UK Government to integrate air pollution metrics into corporate reporting frameworks, mandate disclosure of PM2.5 emissions across key sectors, and set sector-specific emissions-reduction targets.
