We are seeking to improve our understanding of possible impacts on the value of our investments driven by the following factors connected with climate change: - Taxation and regulation - Changes in the climate system - Technological innovations - Shifts in consumer attitude and demand As current and prospective investors in your company, we would be grateful if you could complete the enclosed questionnaire. This has been sent to more than 2,800 of the world’s largest quoted companies and is the sixth such request (CDP6). In 2007, more than 1,300 companies answered the questionnaire (including 77% of the FT500). The questionnaire covers the same themes as in previous years but the format has evolved to aid comparability of responses. Note: We will use A or B or C below where relevant: A. We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your response last year and look forward to receiving updated information this year. B. As you may be aware, your company did not complete our previous request for information. We would be very grateful for a response this year, or information explaining why it is not appropriate for your company to inform your investors by completing this request. C. This is the first time we have written to your company. To aid comparability, we would be very grateful if you could provide data for your last three accounting years, where available. We recognize it can be time consuming to answer a questionnaire in addition to your other environmental reporting responsibilities. However, these questions are specifically focused on climate change, and by providing one standardized request from many investors our objective is to reduce the burden on companies. Your answers will provide valuable, investment-relevant information that is not available from other sources. Your co-operation would be greatly appreciated. Yours sincerely, Paul Dickinson Chief Executive writing on behalf of the institutional shareholders listed overleaf.
