  • Corporate Ghg Inventorying and Target Setting Self-Assessment: V1.0
    APPENDIX Corporate GHG Inventorying and Target Setting Self - Assessment : V1.0 Development and Methodology April 2020 APPENDIX: CORPORATE GHG INVENTORYING AND TARGET SETTING SELF-ASSESSMENT: V1.0 Purpose of this Self-Assessment and How it Can Lead to Action Companies are often in a stronger position to improve their greenhouse gas (GHG) management efforts once they understand their relative performance compared to their peers. In response to stakeholder interest, this self-assessment is designed to help companies estimate, at a high level, how their GHG inventorying and target-setting approaches compare to large peer companies representing different industry sectors. Once companies estimate how their key GHG measurement and target-setting efforts compare to their peers, they can evaluate, in greater detail, how other companies approach GHG inventorying and target setting. Helping companies locate their GHG management efforts within the broader market may spur competition, garner internal support for widening the scope of their GHG inventories or setting more aggressive GHG reduction targets, and prioritize resources to implement GHG reduction activities. • Entry-level: For companies beginning to address their GHG emissions, this resource aims to help them identify which inventorying and target-setting actions reflect common business practices today and provide them with a roadmap for developing their own inventories and setting targets. • Intermediate: For companies further along their sustainability journey, this self- assessment can validate more advanced inventorying and target-setting behaviors that position them to deepen GHG emission reductions. • Advanced: For leading companies, this resource can also validate their efforts and encourage them to explore implementing more cutting edge GHG management efforts, eventually pushing such innovations into the mainstream and sharing practices with others.

  • Who Is Most Impacted by the New Lease Accounting Standards?
    Who is Most Impacted by the New Lease Accounting Standards? An Analysis of the Fortune 500’s Leasing Obligations What Do Corporations Lease? Many companies lease (rather than buy) much of the equipment and real estate they use to run their business. Many of the office buildings, warehouses, retail stores or manufacturing plants companies run their operations from are leased. Many of the forklifts, trucks, computers and data center equipment companies use to run their business is leased. Leasing has many benefits. Cash flow is one. Instead of outlaying $300,000 to buy five trucks today you can make a series of payments over the next four years to lease them. You can then deploy the cash you saved towards other investments that appreciate in value. Also, regular replacement of older technology with the latest and greatest technology increases productivity and profitability. Instead of buying a server to use in your data center for five years, you can lease the machines and get a new replacement every three years. If you can return the equipment on time, you are effectively outsourcing the monetization of the residual value in the equipment to an expert third-party, the leasing company. Another benefit of leasing is the accounting, specifically the way the leases are reported on financial statements such as annual reports (10-Ks). Today, under the current ASC 840 standard, leases are classified as capital leases or operating leases. Capital leases are reported on the balance sheet. Operating leases are disclosed in the footnotes of your financial statements as “off balance sheet” operating expenses and excluded from important financial ratios such as Return on Assets that investors use to judge a company’s performance.

  • For Hire: Lobbyists Or the 99%? How Corporations Pay More for Lobbyists Than in Taxes
    For Hire: Lobbyists or the 99%? How Corporations Pay More for Lobbyists Than in Taxes A report by Public Campaign December 2011 Executive Summary Amidst a growing federal deficit and widespread economic insecurity for most Americans, some of the largest corporations in the country have avoided paying their fair share in taxes while spending millions to lobby Congress and influence elections. This report builds on a recent report on corporate tax dodging by Citizens for Tax Justice by examining lobbying expenditure data provided by the Center for Responsive Politics. We also look at publicly available data on job creation, federal campaign contributions, and executive compensation, to understand how these corporations have been spending their cash. Key Findings • The thirty big corporations analyzed in this report paid more to lobby Congress than they paid in federal income taxes for the three years between 2008 and 2010, despite being profitable. • Despite making combined profits totally $164 billion in that three-year period, the 30 companies combined received tax rebates totaling nearly $11 billion. • Altogether, these companies spent nearly half a billion dollars ($476 million) over three years to lobby Congress—that’s about $400,000 each day, including weekends. • In the three-year period beginning in 2009 through most of 2011, these large firms spent over $22 million altogether on federal campaigns. • These corporations have also spent lavishly on compensation for their top executives ($706 million altogether in 2010). Introduction Over the past few months, a growing Table 1. Three-Year Totals for U.S. Profits, Federal Income protest movement has shifted the Taxes Paid, and Lobbying Expenses, in Millions (2008-2010) debate about economic inequality in Company U.S.

According to FactSet, with just under 60% of S&P 500 companies reporting 4Q20 earnings to date, 81% of those companies beat expectations, ahead of the 75% one-year and 74% five-year averages.
