Following its recent reconfirmation in the Dow Jones
Sustainability World and Europe indexes, Fiat
S.p.A. has also entered the Global 500 Carbon
Disclosure Leadership Index (CDLI) and Carbon
Performance Leadership Index (CPLI) according to the
report published by the Carbon Disclosure Project
(CDP).
More than 400
companies were analysed worldwide and Fiat was the only
Italian company among the 23 companies admitted to both
indexes.
The CDLI only
includes those companies in the FTSE Global Equity
Index Series (Global 500) that demonstrate the
greatest transparency in disclosure to stakeholders of
the strategies and actions taken to combat climate
change. The CPLI, on the other hand, includes companies
that have demonstrated the greatest commitment in
reducing carbon emissions.
Fiat received a
score of 93/100
for transparency in disclosure and the maximum score
("A") for
the commitment shown in reducing carbon emissions. Both
scores represented a major improvement over the prior
year and confirm the central role of reducing
environmental impacts in Fiat’s overall business
strategy.
CDP, which acts on behalf of
551 institutional investors holding US$71 trillion in
assets, is an independent non-profit organisation
holding the world’s largest database of actions taken by
companies to mitigate climate change. Approximately
3,000 organizations worldwide measure and disclose their
carbon emissions, together with climate-related risks
and opportunities, through the Carbon Disclosure
Project.
