Ericsson recognized as world leader for corporate action on climate change
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
* Ericsson included on the Carbon Disclosure Project's Climate Performance
Leadership Index 2014 A List
* Award acknowledges a long-term commitment to climate change and utilization
of a life-cycle approach to determine environmental impacts.
For its actions to reduce carbon emissions and mitigate the business risks of
climate change, Ericsson (NASDAQ:ERIC) has been recognized as a world leader for
corporate action on climate change by the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), a
non-governmental organization which provides the only global system for
companies and cities to measure, disclose, manage and share vital environmental
information.
Ericsson is included on the CDP A list as one of the world's top companies when
it comes to measuring, managing and disclosing environmental impact information,
and this information is used by institutional investors and stakeholders to
evaluate and track corporate efforts to mitigate climate change.
Paul Simpson, chief executive officer of CDP, comments: "Global greenhouse gas
emissions continue to rise and we face steep financial risk if we do not
mitigate them. The business case for action to mitigate climate change has
never been stronger or more urgent. For this reason we congratulate Ericsson
that has achieved a position on The A List: The CDP Climate Performance
Leadership Index. Ericsson is responding to market demand for environmental
accountability and at the same time is making progress towards the realization
of sustainable economies."
Elaine Weidman, Vice President, Head of Sustainability and Corporate
Responsibility, Ericsson, says: "Ericsson's inclusion on the CDP A List is
further recognition of our long-term work on climate change and our commitment
to the life cycle approach that determines the environmental impact of our
business and enables us to find innovative ways to minimize and offset it."
CDP works with 767 institutional investors with assets of US$92 trillion, to
motivate companies to disclose their impacts on the environment and take action
to reduce them. CDP publishes an annual Climate Performance Leadership Index.
