The Public Foundation for the Progress of the Industry (IFKA) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the UK based Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) to become CDP's regional partner. IFKA will help CDP to encourage companies in Central and Eastern Europe to disclose their carbon emmissions and prepare their strategic plans to handle the risks and opportunities arising due to climate change.
CDP was established to collect data on business risks and opportunities presented by climate change and greenhouse gas emissions in the developed part of the world. It has been very successful since its launch in 2000, has its 7th gathering of information from more than 3000 companies in the USA, Japan, Latin America, Australia, UK, France, Germany and many other EU countries. It is a great opportunity to extend CDP's activities to Hungary and Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). Iparfejlesztési Közalapítvány (IFKA – Public Foundation for the Development of the Industry) with all its assets and infrastructure can be an ideal partner organization to CDP in managing the project in the above mentioned region. For further information on the Carbon Disclosure Project please visit CDP's offical site: www.cdproject.net.
