CBRE Comments on Government's CRC Announcement

CB Richard Ellis’ Director of Energy and Sustainability Consulting, Darren Berman, commented on the Government’s announcement of the final details of the Carbon Reduction Commitment (CRC).
“The Government remains committed to pressing ahead with the Carbon Reduction Commitment, albeit with a number of significant changes,” Darren said.
