Sectoral Snapshots


This chapter presents snapshots of emissions data, climate-related risks and opportunities, key actions taken to reduce emissions and selected performance indicators for each of nine industrial sectors.


The sectoral split is based on the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS), but with four sectors merged into pairs (Energy with Utilities, Telecommunications Services with Information Technology). In addition, Transportation is treated separately from the other GICS Industry Groups in the Industrials sector on account of its relatively high carbon intensity. Thus, in this report, the Industrials sector comprises only Capital Goods and Commercial & Professional Services, and Transportation is referred to as a sector.


‘In 2010 numerous initiatives were implemented to reduce our overall energy intensity, ranging from introduction of new, more efficient vessels, optimising deployment of existing vessels, and installing new systems to help minimise hull resistance. The result of these initiatives was a [saving of] approximately 60,000 metric tons of fuel.’

Notes on the snapshots Largest non-respondents


Identified on the basis of market capitalisation at the end of 2010.


Emissions disclosed Total reported emissions and the percentage of respondents disclosing. Opportunities and risks reported


Intended as a concise, neutral summary of company responses. The absence of a particular item does not necessarily mean that no firm in the sector mentioned it, only that the other points were more frequently mentioned.


Key actions


Intended as a summary of frequently cited measures that are characteristic of the sector. Avoidance of business travel through virtual meetings, which is mentioned by firms in all sectors, is covered in the box on page 18.


Verification rate The percentage of companies that reported verification complete for at least part of their emissions.


Share with emissions reduction targets The percentage of companies responding that they had an emissions reduction target that was active in the reporting year.


Change in emissions during 2010 Calculated on the same basis as in Figure 7 above, i.e. the change in reported emissions of companies disclosing emissions in both 2010 and 2011.
