• 45% (178) of respondents have made emissions reductions in some or all of their business from specific measures. This compares with 19% (75) of respondents that had reduced emissions in 2010. The leaders are clearly moving ahead in this regard with all of the CPLI (2010: 52%, 25) and 73% (38) of the CDLI (2010: 47%, 24) showing emissions reductions.
• The Energy sector is showing the lowest proportion of companies with targets (55%, 22) and is underrepresented in both the CPLI and CDLI. In view of the high emissions from the Energy sector, this points to the need for improvement. The Consumer Staples sector has the highest proportion of companies with emissions reduction targets (94%, 32).
• Utilities emerged as the sector with the best average climate change performance (band B).
The sector with the lowest average performance score was Information Technology (band C). The only sector with no companies in the CPLI was Telecommunications.
• The CDLI contains 52 disclosure leaders in 2011 and reports the highest ever scores attained, demonstrating that the quality and completeness of disclosure continues to improve.
• For the second year, CDP published a CPLI, in which there are 29 performance leaders (23 companies are on both the CDLI and CPLI) who have demonstrated their commitment to achieving low carbon growth.
• Companies in Australia, Germany, Italy, Switzerland and the UK are demonstrating strong performance leadership. Canada, Japan and the USA lag behind on performance5
