Many companies still do not quantify or report their air pollutant emissions. This can be due to barriers, including the lack of data, skills, and clear rules. Others face high costs for cleaner technologies or do not see air quality as part of their sustainability work. These challenges are even harder for companies in the Global South, where regulations and resources can be limited.
To address this, SEI works closely with the Alliance for Clean Air (ACA) and other partners to help companies measure their air pollutant emissions, build inventories, create scenarios for reducing pollution, and plan actions they can take across their operations. SEI is working with partners to make it easier for companies to measure, report, and reduce their air pollution.
As a result of these activities, it is expected that air quality will be institutionalized within the UN Global Compact, increasing corporate awareness of air pollution as a material issue. Also, companies will be able to demonstrate improved capacity to measure, report, and reduce emissions across their value chains, strengthening global cooperation and leadership.
Working with ACA, its members will be able to complete public air quality or Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) reports and report publicly on their air quality efforts.
