Measuring the disclosure divide

The Disclosure Divide assesses how company reporting on methane emissions has changed since 2015, when EDF first examined methane disclosure risks in the 2015 Rising Risk report.

Although the percentage of companies reporting remained relatively unchanged, leading companies have stepped forward by providing more narrative information to their stakeholders on company strategy and progress in managing methane emissions, raising the bar for what stakeholders can expect from company methane management and reporting.

The report details company-specific examples: XTO’s personnel training initiative focusing on methane mitigation, Cimarex Energy’s equipment retrofit efforts, and Noble Energy’s collaborative efforts with the Colorado state government to develop effective regulations.
