{{- Paul Simpson, Chief Executive Officer, CDP
The businesses that have made it onto our first fully global list
of climate performance leaders are to be congratulated for
their progress; they debunk economic arguments against
reducing emissions.

Decrease emissions
Companies on the Climate
Performance Leadership
Index (CPLI) 2014 have
reduced their emissions in the
last reporting year.
Page 10
www.cdp.net | @CDP
Decrease emissions
That’s equivalent to
removing 7 million
cars from our roads
for a whole year.

Increase returns

The CPLI has
outperformed
the Bloomberg
World Index by
9.6% in the last
four years.

Samsung C&T Corp., responding to consumer demand for
green products = +9% profits from sales within 7 years

Apply a business lens to climate change
Leaders have a heightened awareness of risk.

Move beyond the low-hanging fruit
Robust governance of climate
change is driving leaders to
raise the bar on investment.
Proportionally, they have
invested more and achieved
greater carbon reductions.

The need to go further
Targets tend not to go
beyond 2016/17,
which suggests a lack
of long-term strategy
to meet the global
carbon budget.
Page 19
www.cdp.net | @CDP
Policy: a risk or opportunity?
A lack of clear long-term policy is likely stalling corporate
progress toward ambitious long-term targets.
Page 20
More than three quarters of The A List engages with policy
makers on climate change,
compared with just under half
of their non-leading peers.
www.cdp.net | @CDP
The opportunity is vast
Corporates and their trade associations
can align to influence national polices
that will unlock the business world’s full
potential to decrease emissions
worldwide over the longer-term.

A global economic system that operates
within sustainable environmental boundaries
and prevents dangerous climate change.
Page 22
www.cdp.net | @CDP Page 23
Our economic activity ultimately
depends upon a steady flow of
natural goods and services, such
as fresh water, timber and food
crops, or climate regulation and
flood control.
Working together
