AB 42 was introduced in 2006 by the California legislature as a way of seeking to control emissions throughout the state within a “cap and trade” scheme. Since its inception, the legislation has attracted considerable opposition, yet has survived challenges meant to water down or even suspend its effects. As the all-important November ballots approach, it seems that it will face a significant challenge, with a possible voter referendum ahead.

Recent research has shown us that only one out of two organizations is really aware of the need to become sustainable, let alone how to go about achieving this. This is remarkable as it appears that legislation will arrive in the not-too-distant future to force such compliance. As such, media is paying a lot of attention to this going forward. Compare this to those organizations who, as innovators, have already taken the steps to become sustainable and are using enterprise carbon and energy management systems effectively to help them with their goal.
