The 2011 Carbon Performance Leadership Index (CPLI)
Stakeholder communications
Companies are required to score maximum points for verification of Scope 1 and Scope 2 to be eligible for inclusion in the CPLI. In contrast, only 37% (148) of the overall Global 500 (versus 100% of CPLI companies) meet all of CDP’s verification criteria in 2011. Companies’ strategies to reduce emissions require analysis and decision-making based on reliable emissions data.
Achievements
In support of their commitment to reduce emissions, 100% (29) of CPLI companies reported significant emissions reduction in the past year compared to 45% (178) of the overall Global 500. The success in achieving reductions may be due to more mature climate change initiatives from CPLI companies that are already realizing results in emissions reduction.
Geographical Representation of the CPLI
Europe and Australia are the strongest performing regions in 2011. Europe has the most companies in the CPLI (16, 55% of CPLI) despite only representing 34% of the responding population. This is similar to 2010 when it represented 60% of the CPLI with 29 companies. Australia makes up 10% of the CPLI despite only representing 3% of the Global 500 responding population. North American (USA and Canada) companies make up 24% of the CPLI despite only representing 42% of the Global 500 responders.
The best performing country was Germany which made up 14% of the CPLI with only 5% of respondents.
