The move is getting a mixed response. It is five years since the global climate change initiative, the Carbon Disclosure Project, first received backing from investors to ask the world\u2019s largest companies to report annually on their direct emissions. Now a new and much more complex side to carbon emissions reporting is beginning to be addressed. Company supply chains. Beginning in early 2009, the CDP plans to ask all companies listed within London\u2019s FTSE 350, New York\u2019s Standard &amp; Poor\u2019s 500 and other global stock exchanges not only to report on their own emissions (which the CDP estimates to make up 40% of global emissions), but also to send carbon disclosure questionnaires out to their suppliers. (..) A few companies, including Tesco, Nestl\u00e9, Proctor &amp; Gamble and Dell are now trialling a pilot questionnaire before the official launch, which, according to <\/span><st1:city><st1:place><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Dickinson<\/span><\/st1:place><\/st1:city><span lang=\"EN-GB\">, is scheduled for next spring. Each has asked 50 of its biggest suppliers from all sectors of the supply chain to respond on the questionnaire\u2019s usability. At this stage the results will be shared internally. <\/span><st1:city><st1:place><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Dickinson<\/span><\/st1:place><\/st1:city><span lang=\"EN-GB\"> is keen that all suppliers\u2019 carbon disclosure reports should be made public from 2009. He says companies will not be obliged to call on all their suppliers to report, but are encouraged to make the inquiry \u201cas thorough as possible\u201d. However, the companies involved in the pilot survey, known as the Supply Chain Leadership Coalition, seem more reluctant to make bold commitments to the survey.
