Nordic Region Report
Welcome to the fifth annual CDP Nordic report.
This year, with the additional member of staff in the Nordic office, we increased the sample significantly to 260. We will stay with this number next year, while encouraging previously- approached firms that have dropped below the market capitalisation cut-off to continue to provide information.
Intending to provide robust support in the complex journey that is climate reporting, we offered free workshops for the fourth year running. The significance of this training is such that we welcome any firm to attend, since the Supply Chain member companies may approach any size of enterprise.
The analysis in this report is based on data submitted from the first year of operations after the COP15 meeting, which brought climate issues to the fore. While governments have ambitious goals, responding companies treat the potential risks of climate change as mainstream knowledge. Leading companies can and do continue to protect share value, pioneering innovative and highly successful ways to do business not at all as usual.
It is clear from the responses that Nordic corporations offer many robust solutions to climate change in their activities and operations: building façades with embedded solar collectors, virtual meeting services, lighter yet stronger steel, bio fuel production and dozens more. Production processes are showing the results of vast sums spent on R & D where dramatically fewer raw materials and energy are required to produce superior quality.
The word ‘näringsliv1 ’ has roots in the
age of barter, and indeed reflects what barter would originally have achieved: to nourish life. Nordic industry is solving 21st century climate challenges with remarkable products and services that do nourish life.
We are deeply grateful for the continued collaboration with our Nordic Partner ATP and Norway Partner KLP who provide invaluable guidance and input. Also to WWF for their support with production of this report and PwC for their ongoing participation.
The number of Nordic companies responding to the Investor request in 2011 increased to 143 (131 in 2010). The share of companies responding publicly has also increased to 83% (79% in 2010).
