SURVEY DETAILS
TARGET POPULATION

For this Network Survey, GLG surveyed 70 senior executives working at multinational companies across the US and Europe (United Kingdom, Germany, France, Italy and Spain).

What will you learn from this survey?

  • These respondents commented on the various emission trading schemes and national carbon price that apply at present in the different countries of operations.
  • The research also looked into the importance of the Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions for different industries.
  • Lastly, the survey captured the respondents’ views on which departments have the most influence in setting up internal carbon prices.

Examples of findings:

  • More than half of respondents (53%) says that ‘To drive energy efficiency’ is the reason for introducing internal carbon price.
  • 39% of the total experts have ’26-50%’ of their scope 1 activities covered by Emission Trading Scheme.
  • Compared to other drivers, carbon price is expected to be moderately or extremely important by 70% of the respondents.

Deliverables

The GLG Surveys team drafted the questionnaire with the support of GLG Network Member, Graham Weale, Professor for Energy Economics at the Centre for Environment, Resources and Energy, Ruhr University Bochum.

  • 1 x Individual responses (“raw data”) in Excel.
  • 1 x PPT report with aggregated data.
