This program is operated by the Environment and National Resources Secretariat of the Federal Government (SEMARNAT) together with the World Resources Institute and World Business Council for Sustainable Development. During 2012, 115 companies presented their inventories from the 175 companies registered, accounting up to 120 million CO2e tons. As a reference for Latin America, Mexico, through the SEMARNAT, decided to follow the trend of European countries and, together with WRI and WBCSD, started this high impact program on climate change issues.
