  • Preparing for Carbon Pricing: Case Studies from Company Experience
    TECHNICAL NOTE 9 | JANUARY 2015 Preparing for Carbon Pricing Case Studies from Company Experience: Royal Dutch Shell, Rio Tinto, and Pacific Gas and Electric Company Acknowledgments and Methodology This Technical Note was prepared for the PMR Secretariat by Janet Peace, Tim Juliani, Anthony Mansell, and Jason Ye (Center for Climate and Energy Solutions—C2ES), with input and supervision from Pierre Guigon and Sarah Moyer (PMR Secretariat). The note comprises case studies with three companies: Royal Dutch Shell, Rio Tinto, and Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E). All three have operated in jurisdictions where carbon emissions are regulated. This note captures their experiences and lessons learned preparing for and operating under policies that price carbon emissions. The following information sources were used during the research for these case studies: 1. Interviews conducted between February and October 2014 with current and former employees who had first-hand knowledge of these companies’ activities related to preparing for and operating under carbon pricing regulation. 2. Publicly available resources, including corporate sustainability reports, annual reports, and Carbon Disclosure Project responses. 3. Internal company review of the draft case studies. 4. C2ES’s history of engagement with corporations on carbon pricing policies. Early insights from this research were presented at a business-government dialogue co-hosted by the PMR, the International Finance Corporation, and the Business-PMR of the International Emissions Trading Association (IETA) in Cologne, Germany, in May 2014. Feedback from that event has also been incorporated into the final version. We would like to acknowledge experts at Royal Dutch Shell, Rio Tinto, and Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E)—among whom Laurel Green, David Hone, Sue Lacey and Neil Marshman—for their collaboration and for sharing insights during the preparation of the report.

  • Supplier Performance and the Smicop Domestic Monitoring and Compliance Survey Report: Results for Smart Meter Installations Occu
    Supplier Performance and the SMICoP Domestic Monitoring and Compliance Survey Report: Results for Smart Meter Installations occurring from October to December 2019 Published 30 June 2020 Page 1 of 26 30 Jun 2020 Summary The Smart Meter Installation Code of Practice (SMICoP) is a set of rules that energy suppliers must follow when installing smart meters in homes and smaller businesses. To make sure these standards have been met by the energy suppliers, a sample of customers are asked about their experiences when their smart meter was installed. These surveys are carried out by independent survey organisations on behalf of energy suppliers. More information regarding the methodology can be found within the Annex A of this report. The Monitoring and Compliance Customer Survey (MCCS) report was established to show if energy suppliers have met their obligations and responsibilities set out in the SMICoP rules. This report provides a summary of the answer’s customers gave about what happened when a smart meter was installed in their home. Some of the questions within the report show how your energy supplier is performing when installing smart meters in homes compared to other suppliers. Some of the questions within the report do not demonstrate the performance of an energy supplier if looked at on their own. For the questions that don’t indicate a better or worse performance, that are intended to help qualify1 a subsequent question, the information is presented listed by supplier in alphabetical order in black shaded tables and figures. Where suppliers’ performance is ranked highest to lowest, these are shown in blue shaded tables and figures.

  • Matched Funding Letter
    Matched Funding We are keen to maximise the fundraising potential for our school and Matched Funding has the ability to increase the takings of school events many times over. How? An increasing number of large companies operate a match funding scheme whereby they “match” charity fundraising undertaken by their employees. These organisations set aside millions of pounds to fund such schemes and are more than happy to support their staff in raising money for charities of their choice. There are many ways you can participate to enable the school to benefit from matched funding. For example, one parent at the summer fair successfully claimed £350 match funding from her employer after helping on the tombola stall for one hour. What can you do? As the PTA is a registered charity we are in a position to benefit from your involvement, however big or small, at any fundraising school event. Your participation might be, for example, managing a stall or helping with the raffle. Both qualify as assisting with fundraising. Contact us! If your company offers matched funding, please get in touch with us on [email protected] Do you work for any of the companies below? We know that the following companies match fund: ● Aviva ● Bank of America ● Barclays Bank ● Benfield Group ● BP ● British Telecom ● British Gas ● Camelot ● Costcutter ● Co-op ● Deloitte ● Diageo ● Ernst and Young Experian ● HSBC ● Ipsos Mori ● JP Morgan Chase ● Kingfisher PLC ● Legal and General ● Lloyds TSB / HBOS ● Microsoft ● Northern Rock ● 02 ● PWC ● RBS Group ● Royal Dutch Shell ● RWE ● nPower ● Santander ● Schroders ● Sky ● Tarmac ● Tesco ● Texaco ● UBS ● Unilever ● Yorkshire Bank ● Whitbread If you are aware of another company, please do get in touch! .
