Study Of The Relationship Of Ems And Cg To Reduction Of Co2 Emissions In Petroleum Companies
Abstract
This project provides a brief description of the impacts of the petroleum industry in climate change and the impacts of climate change in society. Besides, it provides an analysis of the influence of Corporate Governance (CG) and Environmental Management Systems (EMS) in reducing CO2 emissions in the petroleum industry. A group of eighteen of the biggest private petroleum companies in the world was used. The results of this study come from a correlation analysis of the variables (CG, EMS, Plans, and tools to address emission reduction) that are considered to influence and reduce carbon emissions in this industry. In addition, variables as revenues and geographic location of the companies were considered. Finally, this project provides information of how new environmental practices are influencing the industry and of how future research can be developed.
