A group of 66 companies and industry organizations, including Apple, have issued a joint statement opposing proposed changes to corporate emissions reporting rules. The changes, part of a revision process led by the Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHGP), aim to improve the accuracy of emissions reporting by ensuring companies only claim clean energy that could realistically have powered their operations. The companies argue that these stricter requirements should remain optional rather than mandatory. They also argue that making mandatory compliance could undermine participation in voluntary clean energy programs and slow investment in new projects.
