  • Seeking Opportunities for Bigger Impact: Climate Performance in the Benelux CDP Benelux Climate Change Report 2014
    1 Seeking opportunities for bigger impact: Climate Performance in the Benelux CDP Benelux Climate Change Report 2014 On behalf of 767 investors with assets of US$92 trillion. Report writer Scoring Partner 2 Key messages Out of the 142 companies that were invited to respond to the CDP in the Benelux, only 44% responded, but these represented a market 1 capitalization of over 95%. Climate reporting has become the norm among major Benelux companies, but is not yet common practice among other stock-listed companies. The total amount of greenhouse gases emitted by the Benelux companies in this analysis has remained largely unchanged since last 2 year – 334 million metric tons CO2e. Companies have been taking measures to reduce emissions, but the overall effects have been offset by increases due to other factors such as increasing business activities or adverse weather conditions. The Benelux companies with best climate performance are among the global leaders, but the average performance has decreased, shifting 3 from B to C. Eight Benelux companies received an A band for climate performance, and can be considered Climate Performance Leaders, but the gap with the pack is large. The eight Climate Performance Leaders set higher ambition levels and 4 stricter targets. All Climate Performance Leaders have targets, and 88% have absolute targets, while few than half of the other companies do. Climate Performance Leaders invest in climate initiatives that make 5 business sense as well as reduce emissions. The majority (55%) of emissions reduction investments of Climate Performance Leaders pay back within 3 years, while this is only 47% across the other group of companies.
