Ninety-six percent of CDP global respondents report that they have board or senior executive oversight of climate change and 78% have integrated climate change into their wider business strategy.
These findings are based on responses to the CDP’s annual request to the world’s largest companies, asking them to measure and report what climate change means for their business. This request is sent on behalf of 655 institutional investors representing US$78 trillion of assets under management.
The size of CDP’s investor coalition reflects the growing interest of the investor community in environmental, social and governance (ESG) reporting. The institutional investor backing of the CDP questionnaire increased by 19% in 2012, up from 551 signatories in 2011, and represents an 18-fold increase since CDP’s first questionnaire in 2002
