How can the concept of carbon footprints and emissions reductions be applied to other industries, such as the automotive industry with companies like Tesla?

Alternative methods to sustainability reporting that can showcase a company's long-term financial value include Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) reporting, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) reporting, and Integrated Reporting. ESG reporting focuses on a company's operations in terms of environmental impact, social responsibility, and governance practices. CSR reporting is about a company's impact on society, including its community engagement, philanthropy, and employee welfare. Integrated Reporting combines financial and non-financial factors, providing a holistic view of the company's performance, risks, and opportunities.

Global companies like Apple and Google can use portfolio charts to highlight their new products and their environmental impact by showcasing the products or services that were launched in a given period. These charts can also highlight the environmental impact of the products in relation to how much they earned. This can be done by including data on carbon footprints, emissions reductions, and other related data points. This not only provides a comprehensive view of the product's performance but also its impact on the environment, thus promoting transparency and sustainability.
