PARIS: Greenhouse gas emissions from Europe's biggest meat and dairy firms continue to increase, according to a new report Monday , which found many firms are polluting"with impunity".

Of the 20 companies analysed, only four report emissions from their entire supply chain, IATP said, even though livestock production accounts for the lion's share of emissions.
