Well, the good news is, I've decided what to get you for a winter solstice present this year.

ps - it's up to you to prove your assertions not me to disprove them. If you are worried about being wrong I could quote the relevant facts so you can dismiss them as cherry picking if you want.

Urbanite men also fuck each other in the ass
Damn straight. The rural men don't do that. They have farm animals. :animals-chickencatch: ;)
We have GRITS around here. A chick forced me to watch this movie once about Western men on the range. Still have nightmares. Western Man can stay on his side of the Continental Divide, thanks.

Many businesses have found that once they start measuring their emissions they identify ways they can do things differently that save money as well as carbon. This applies to any businesses regardless of size. So this guidance can also help organisations manage their carbon risks and opportunities.
This is something customers and investors are increasingly expecting businesses to do.
The guidance has been developed with the help of many individuals, businesses and organisations through extensive public consultation. We are grateful to the CBI, the Carbon Disclosure Project, the accountancy professional bodies, the Institute of Environmental Management and Assessment, the Aldersgate Group and many others who contributed to making it as practical as possible

If true, then no government rule need.
If business does X, then business makes more money... is not something a business needs a regulation for.

Absolutely wrong. You're the agent agitating for change, the onus is on you to demonstrate that your change is effective and/or necessary. As you don't even grasp all the factors that influence a carbon footprint number I expect we'll be waiting a long, long time for you to get your argument put together.

I've had a quick look through the relevant sections now and it seems to be very thorough and takes many factors into account.
There are standard forms to fill out and evidence is required to show fuel use etc.
Methods are provided to estimate averages so your cow burp point is mute.

The labelling is not mandatory, the methods to provide the info are guidelines. The only government action is possible future inspections to verify the information given is truthful.

Literally no one is complaining about non-mandatory labeling.
