Arcadis recognized for Climate Change Transparency by CDP
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
(5 November 2015) - Arcadis (Euronext: arcad), the leading global Design &
Consultancy firm for natural and built assets, today announced it has been
identified as a leader for the quality of climate change related information
that it has disclosed to investors and the global marketplace through CDP, the
international not-for-profit that drives sustainable economies. Arcadis has
therefore been awarded a position on the Climate Disclosure Leadership Index
(CDLI), released today in theFrance and Benelux edition of CDP's annual global
climate change report. The news comes three weeks ahead of COP21, the UN climate
change conference, when national leaders meet to agree a global deal to reduce
carbon emissions and limit temperature warming.
Arcadis earned its position on the index by disclosing high quality carbon
emissions and energy data through CDP's climate change program. The reported
data has been independently assessed against CDP's scoring methodology and
marked out of 100. Those organizations graded within the top 10% constitute the
CDLI. Arcadis has scored 100.
Neil McArthur, CEO of Arcadis stated: "Sustainability is one of our core values
which supports our passion to "Improve Quality of Life". That makes abundantly
clear how serious we take sustainability in everything that we do in our own
operations, but also and perhaps most importantly in what we do for our clients.
We are proud to become listed in this important index which underlines our
Fsuccess on further enhancing our sustainable practices and contribution to
society."
At the request of 822 investors who represent US$95 trillion in assets,
thousands of companies submit annual climate disclosures to CDP. Top scores
indicate a high level of transparency in the disclosure of climate change-
related information, providing investors with a level of comfort to assess
corporate accountability and preparedness for changing market demands and
emissions regulation.
Paul Dickinson, executive chairman and co-founder of CDP says: "As the world
looks beyond the Paris climate change negotiations and prepares for a low carbon
future, reliable information about how companies are responding to the
transition will be ever more valuable. For this reason we congratulate those
businesses that have achieved a position on CDP's Climate Disclosure Leadership
Index."
CDP's annual global climate change report, along with the climate scores of all
companies publicly taking part in CDP's climate change program this year, is
available on CDP's website.www.cdp.net
