The National Audit Office publishes a report on the work of the Carbon Trust. It finds that organisations could achieve greater reductions in carbon emissions, as less than 40 per cent of the carbon savings identified by the Carbon Trust between 2003 and 2006 have so far been implemented. Auditor general Sir John Bourn said: "The Carbon Trust needs to build on its good work and extend its drive to encourage business leaders to review the carbon footprint of their organisation and to take decisive action to reduce carbon dioxide emissions."
