Carbon Disclosure Project Report 2008: Global 500
Seventy-seven percent of Global 500 companies responded to the CDP, with the majority viewing regulation as a key risk. Regulatory uncertainty, however, hindered many companies from making strategic investment decisions as they took a wait-and-see approach. Seventy-four percent of Global 500 companies responding to the CDP survey disclosed emissions reduction targets.
The highest scoring companies in the Global Carbon Disclosure Leadership Index were BASF, Bayer, Exelon, Iberdola, Scottish and Southern, Nissan Motor, Barclays, Merrill Lynch and Co., National Australia Bank and EMC.
