CorporateRegister.com Publishes Corporate Climate Communications Report 2007
How are the world's largest companies using their CSR reports to communicate on climate change?
In the first study of its kind, just launched as a free publication, CorporateRegister.com assesses leading global companies' climate change communications, as differentiated from their carbon performance. The report looks at the latest CSR reports from the Global FT500 and evaluates their disclosure around climate change.
Does the CEO mention climate change in their introductory statement? Does the report include data on GHG emissions and against what standards? Does the report include a target to reduce emissions? In all, 29 climate disclosure elements are analysed by region, industry sector and market capitalisation.
The report offers a deep insight into the current corporate response to climate change, as judged through voluntary reporting disclosures. The report also includes brief survey responses from six companies, all leaders in their sectors.
