The highest disclosure score in 2011 is 99; four companies have achieved this impressive result (Philips Electronics, Bayer, Deutsche Post and UPS). Cisco Systems scored 98, and Siemens, Tesco, Fortum Oyj and Bank of America all scored 97. In 2010 the highest disclosure score of 98 was achieved by Siemens.


The average score of the CDLI companies in 2011 is 94, up from 91 in 2010; this is significantly higher than the overall Global 500 average of 69 in 2011 and 65 in 2010. The lowest CDLI score in 2011 is 90, compared to 86 in 2010. This indicates that the quality and depth of responses continues to improve, despite the increasing stringency of the scoring mechanism year on year. All ten sectors are represented in the CDLI again, confirming the view that high quality disclosure is possible regardless of sector.
