Although some companies have committed to ambitious goals, the report continues, <strong>efforts have not been uniform<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>One of the main issues is that CO2 reduction practices are still implemented on a voluntary basis. Moreover, costs are a problem for both smaller companies and consumers, who do not seem likely to pay more for a sustainable product.
