Oil & Gas Companies Begin Plugging Methane Leaks to Retain Social License to Operate

New Report Tracks Company Efforts to Reduce Methane Emissions

Disclosing the Facts

As You Sow, Boston Common Asset Management, and The Investor Environmental Health Network (IEHN) have released a 2017 special edition of the Disclosing the Facts (DTF) scorecard. While the annual DTF scorecard has historically addressed oil and gas company management of environmental and community risks from hydraulic fracturing operations, this year’s special edition focuses on the critical risk of methane emissions – a potent contributor to global climate change – and how companies are managing methane reductions. DTF 2017 finds a striking range of differences among the 28 companies’ methane management disclosures.
