‘Other Respondents’ see opportunities arising from climate change as a result of regulatory changes.
The summary of results for this group is set out below:
At a glance:
• Bewley’s Limited is a top disclosure scorer from within this group;
• 7 companies chose to respond, an increase from only 3 in 2010;
• All 7 have emissions reduction activities in place in 2011, though only 5 out of 7 (71%) have set themselves emissions reduction targets;
• Improved level of Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions disclosure;
• 6 out of 7 (86%) reported that responsibility for climate change rests at Board level; and
• Third party verification appears to be an area for improvement.
Risks and Opportunities
• The most commonly identified risk associated with changes in regulation amongst this group was to do with fuel/energy taxes and regulations (4 out of 5);
• It is interesting to note the mix of opportunities as opposed to risks in this sector; 6 out of 7 respondents (86%) identified regulatory opportunities, mostly to do with:
– Emission reporting obligations; and
– General environmental regulations, including planning.
• Physical risks and opportunities were mixed among the respondents. Snow and ice, sea level rise, change in mean (average) temperature and change in precipitation extremes and droughts were all risks identified; and
• Changing consumer behaviour was identified as the most common ‘other’ opportunity.
