Climate Leadership Index 2004

Report writers Innovest have assessed and categorised every response in every industrial sector. Based entirely on the responses received by the Carbon Disclosure Project, we have constructed a Climate Leadership Index (CLI), comprising the 50 "best in class" responses.

Twelve high-impact sectors were selected based on their relative carbon intensity and financial sensitivity to climate-related impacts. From these sectors, companies deemed to have above-average responses were chosen as candidates for inclusion in the CLI. From this pool of above-average candidates, a shortlist of companies that provided the best responses was chosen.
