7. The data for response rate is based on data at time of printing. Data for other areas are based on data for those companies received by July 31, 2011. Whilst every effort has been made to ensure that comparisons between years are direct, a number of questions have changed year on year in the questionnaire which has meant that the closest possible match has been made where an exact match is not possible.


8. Verification of emissions has decreased in the year on year analysis in this report because CDP has set more stringent criteria to reflect the importance of verification. See details in the Verification section of this report.


9. 404 companies responded to CDP, of which 3 referred to a holding company’s answers and 5 submitted their answers after the deadline for inclusion in analysis of the report.
