Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) and Tata Steel are among the companies that have recently joined a UN climate change initiative for business leaders, according to the UN Global Compact, which partners the industry.
Some 230 companies from around the world have signed up for this "Caring for the Climate" initiative since it was launched in 2007.
These companies will voluntarily disclose carbon emissions and report annually on the progress they have made in curbing greenhouse gas emissions, Georg Kell, Executive Director of Global Compact, said on the concluding day of the Business for Environment summit in Singapore.
