Metso continues to be ranked at the Leadership level in CDP's Climate Change
evaluation
Metso Corporation's press release on November 1, 2016 at 10:00 a.m. EET
Metso continues to be included in CDP's Climate Change evaluation at the
Leadership level with an A- ranking (the scale of the index was A-D). This
year's evaluation covered a total of 5,800 companies globally and the global
average ranking was C.
CDP's evaluation defines companies ranked at the Leadership level as presenting
the best practices to advance environmental stewardship. Leadership level
companies understand the risks and opportunities related to climate change and
have taken actions to capitalize on these risks.
"Metso's sustainability strategy was revised earlier this year, and now we have
set environmental efficiency and product safety innovation targets for all of
our new R&D projects. Once these R&D projects are closed, all of the set targets
have to be verified. CDP's Climate Change evaluation reflects that we are
concentrating on the right issues when it comes to integrating sustainability
into our business," says Kaisa Jungman, Head of Sustainability, Metso.
CDP, formerly the Carbon Disclosure Project, is an international, non-profit
organization providing the only global system for companies and cities to
measure, disclose, manage and share vital environmental information with 827
institutional investors around the world with assets of USD 100 trillion.
