Creating a practical guide to quantify and reduce air pollution from businesses
SEI, the Climate and Clean Air Coalition and IKEA are partners in a project to create a practical guide to help businesses develop their own air pollutant emission inventories. The guide is being devised to set out a process for businesses to track and ultimately reduce these emissions across their value chains. This brief outlines the genesis, concept and aims of the project.
