CDP S&P 500 Report 2011 – Strategic Advantage Through Climate Change Action
CEO Foreword Corporations, investors and governments today are faced with a choice: to compete aggressively for finite resources, or to advance towards a low-carbon economy that enables sustainable, profitable growth, whilst reducing reliance on increasingly scarce materials. Last year global energy-related carbon dioxide emissions reached a record high. The International Energy Agency estimates made for bleak reading but compounded the necessity to take bold and decisive action if we are to have any chance of limiting temperature increase to the 2°C level agreed by world leaders to protect against catastrophic climate change. What’s more, rising energy demands are competing for a limited supply of fossil fuels. The competition for increasingly scarce natural resources is putting pressure on commodity prices and having a growing impact both socially and economically. It is clear that today, more than ever, we must build momentum to decouple economic growth from emissions. Managing carbon emissions and protecting the business from climate change impacts is fundamental to achieving sustainable and strong shareholder returns. Earlier this year, investment consultancy Mercer released a report concluding that the best way for institutional investors to manage portfolio risk associated with climate change may be to shift 40% of their portfolios into climate-sensitive assets with an emphasis on those that can adapt to a low-carbon environment. An important part of an investor’s strategy should be to engage with the companies in which they invest to encourage performance improvement. Carbon Action is a new initiative launched by CDP this year. It is driven by a leading group of investors to encourage their portfolio companies to reduce emissions by investing in emissions reducing activities with a satisfactory payback period. Carbon Action reflects a growing recognition that there is a huge range of carbon reducing activities that companies can undertake that have a very clear business case. It is therefore in the interests of all investors and not just the more active owners of investments to ensure these actions are taken. As the management of carbon continues to move into companies’ core business strategies and mainstream investment thinking, demand for primary corporate climate change information grows around the world. As well as working on behalf of 551 institutional investors to gather relevant information from large corporations around the world, CDP is also working with global businesses and governments to strengthen the resilience and sustainability of their supply chains through the CDP Supply Chain program. CDP Cities has launched to help the world’s major cities reduce climate change risk and bolster economic growth; and CDP Water Disclosure is now in its second year of working with major global companies to improve water management. A key part of CDP’s strategy is to ensure the effective use of data collected. To assist with this companies are able to obtain tools that help them to measure, report and manage carbon more effectively, through CDP Reporter Services. It is through partnerships that CDP can achieve the largest impact. We are delighted to be working again this year with PwC, our Global Advisor, as well as with Accenture, Microsoft, SAP and Bloomberg. These and our other partners around the world are integral to the acceleration of CDP’s mission. Whilst we wait patiently for much needed global regulation, business must continue to forge ahead, innovate and seek out opportunities by doing more with less. The decisions that perpetuate a legitimate, low-carbon and high growth economy will bring considerable value to those that have the foresight to make them. The information contained in this report and the companies’ responses assist in illuminating that path.

Executive Summary
s the management of A carbon continues to move into companies’ core business strategies and mainstream investment thinking, demand for primary corporate climate change information grows around the world. Paul Simpson, CEO CDP
The Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) sent its 2011 questionnaire to the S&P 500 companies on behalf of 551 signatory institutional investors representing $71 trillion of assets. The corporations were asked to measure and disclose their climate change relatedactivities. The responses indicate that US corporations are integrating greenhouse gas (GHG) management into their nearand long-term business strategies.
• 91% (306) of 2011 S&P 500 respondents disclosed GHG emissions, up from 88% (294) in 2010. Responses show a marked improvement in GHG emissions measurement and reporting.
Specifically:
• 72% (242) of the 2011 S&P 500 respondents identified risks and 69% (233) identified opportunities that have the potential to substantively impact business operations. Responses indicate that a growing number of S&P 500 companies see a path forward from risk management and operational effectiveness to significant business opportunities and actionable, longterm strategic advantage.
• 87% (292) of S&P 500 respondents reported board or senior executive oversight of their company’s climate change programs, up from 68% (226) in 2010. With two-thirds of the S&P 500 index participating in this year’s questionnaire, this translates to at least 58% of the index viewing climate change as a mission-critical issue. • 6 5% (219) of respondents reported that climate change issues are integrated into their overall business strategy, up from 35% (116) in 2010. • 5 4% (183) of respondents provided monetary incentives for managing climate change issues, up from 35% (116) in 2010.
7
• 64% (214) of 2011 respondents disclosed absolute and/or intensity emissions reduction targets, up from 51% (170) in 2010.
• O ver 60% (667) of emissions reduction projects reported by the 2011 S&P 500 respondents have a payback period of three years or less. Companies reported a higher number of opportunities to reduce emissions and those reflect increasingly innovative and creative approaches to GHG emissions reductions.
2011 Themes and Highlights
From risk management to strategic advantage Corporate sustainability efforts evolve over time. This journey is often undertaken initially to address imminent compliance and risk management concerns, such as regulatory, operational or reputational risk. As companies become more sophisticated regarding the business implications of climate change, their efforts often lead to increased efficiency, effectiveness, lower costs, and improved brand image, thereby gaining the attention of senior management. Once these benefits are recognized, many companies begin to consider how sustainability can be
Finding strategic advantage through climate change action
incorporated into the overall business strategy to protect enterprise value and generate strategic advantage. According to the results of the questionnaire, climate change has become an operational, fiscal, and strategic imperative for the S&P 500 companies, resulting in greater senior executive attention and focus. As illustrated in Figure 2, nearly 90% (292) of S&P 500 respondents indicated board or senior management oversight, indicating that climate change is viewed as a strategic imperative. This shift has been triggered by both external and internal factors.
A growing number of companies believe sustainability offers significant first-mover advantages, such as reduced operating costs, improved brand image, and greater market responsiveness. This trend is reflected in the number of companies reporting integration of climate change into their overall business strategies and by those companies reporting monetary and other incentives for meeting certain emissions reduction targets. As shown in Figure 3, 54% (183) reported the use of monetary incentives related to climate change and 65% (219) of respondents reported integrated strategy. This equates to a year over year increase of 85% in respondents reporting integration of climate change into their overall business strategies.

2011 Themes and Highlights
I. Risk management Companies generally enter the enterprise value continuum from a risk perspective, depending on their industry and sector. The foremost risk is national and international pressure from both governmental and non-governmental organizations to meet new emission and reporting standards. This has occurred despite the lack of political and policy consensus in many countries, including the US. In addition, there are new pressures from investors, customers, banks, insurers, and global business partners to contain GHG emissions. As companies move along the continuum from risk management toward strategic advantage, the results indicate they are becoming conversant in the risks posed by regulation and the physical effects of climate change (see Figure 5). Some emerging risks are more challenging to quantify, such as those relating to reputation and consumer behavior. Policy drivers and the internationalization of risk Multinational companies are exposed to a variety of different policies regulating GHG emissions in markets where they operate. Companies are adjusting business practices across their operations to reflect environmental regulations, cap and trade schemes and carbon taxes that occur by jurisdiction.
• E urope. The European Union (EU) has longstanding mandatory reductions in greenhouse gases. In 2007 EU leaders endorsed an integrated approach to climate and energy policy and committed to transforming Europe into a highly energy-efficient, low carbon economy. They made a unilateral commitment that Europe would cut its emissions by at least 20% of 1990 levels by 2020 through a cap and trade regime. This commitment is being implemented through a package of binding legislation. The EU has also offered to increase its emissions reduction to 30% by 2020, on condition that other major emitting countries in the developed and developing worlds commit to do their fair share under a future global climate agreement. 1 To implement its climate change regulation, the EU operates the European Union Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS), which covers the Utilities sector and most industrial emissions in EU states. The price of carbon allowances in the EU ETS in 2011 has ranged from e11.46 to e20.80, an inherent cost of doing business in the EU to which companies operating there have had to adjust.2

Companies that embraced the integrated approach to climate change were also more likely to disclose both their GHG emissions and emissions reduction targets, reflecting the principle that emissions measurement can result in strategic emissions management. As indicated in Figure 4, 91% (306) of respondents have disclosed their GHG emissions and 64% (214) have disclosed absolute and/or intensity emissions reduction targets.

• Asia-Pacific. China’s new 12th Five Year Plan aims to build sustainable development practices into Chinese industries. The new targets intend to lower energy intensity by 16% over the next five years, to cut CO2 emissions by 17%, and to increase alternative energy use from 8% to 14%.3 1. http://ec.europa.eu/clima/policies/brief/eu/index_en.htm 2. www.theice.com/marketdata/reports/ReportCenter. shtml?reportId=83 3. http://deltabridges.com/news/prd-news/12th-five-year-planhailed-‘greenest-fyp-china’s-history’

CDP S&P 500 Report 2011 – Strategic Advantage Through Climate Change Action
In July 2011, the Australian government announced a comprehensive plan that includes putting a price on carbon emissions, promoting innovation and investment in renewable energy, improving energy efficiency, and creating opportunities in the land sector to cut pollution. Under the plan, Australia estimates that it can cut 159 million tons a year of carbon pollution by 2020.4 Some Australian companies are also mandated to undergo energy efficiency assessments and report publicly on opportunities that exist for projects with a financial payback of up to four years.5 New Zealand recently passed new regulations for emissions trading and India is expected to soon follow suit. • North America. In the US, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued interpretative guidance in early 2010 highlighting climate change disclosures that should be considered by registrants. Several federal and local programs already require the reporting of GHG emissions information, including the Environmental Protection Agency’s mandatory GHG reporting rule for large emitters. In addition, California’s Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 will require certain facilities in California to reduce GHG emissions to 1990 levels by 2020. In the Northeast, the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative also requires reductions among utilities. Physical risks Businesses face growing risks from the physical impacts of climate change, including the increased intensity and frequency of severe weather events such as prolonged droughts, floods, storms and sea level rise. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the year 2011
11
already represents the highest damage cost-to-date (US$32 billion) in the US since 1980, the year NOAA began tracking disasters. The April tornadoes in the Midwest alone were responsible for approximately half of the losses and over 500 deaths.6 In general, industrial companies — especially in the Utilities and Energy sectors (see Figure 6) — were most concerned with regulatory and weatherrelated risks. “Climate change may increase either the frequency or intensity of hurricanes, which could affect our operations. The Gulf of Mexico is of particular importance to our industry because two thirds of imported oil enters the country through this region and it houses many of the oil and gas pipelines that move domestic resources from the Outer Continental Shelf to the rest of the country. Chevron has developed a number of risk management mechanisms that are applied to siting and construction of new facilities as well as the operation of existing ones. These mechanisms help reduce our vulnerability to sea level rise, tropical cyclones, water shortages, and other environmental factors.” Chevron “As a food producing company, Sara Lee is heavily dependent on globally sourced agricultural production process inputs. Therefore, Sara Lee is exposed to climate change, on a global scale, to impacts and physical risks that vary from region to region.” Sara Lee Within the services sectors, property and casualty insurers were concerned that climate change could have a profound global impact on insured losses and potentially lead to insurer solvency problems.
“Allstate is engaged in an ongoing evaluation of climate change and natural catastrophes as it relates to Allstate’s future risk exposure and America’s ability to prepare for and manage these catastrophe related risks moving forward. Allstate monitors all significant enterprise risks and opportunities, including those related to climate change on a regular basis, with fluid risk identification processes to reflect a continuously shifting external and internal risk environment.” Allstate Market risk and the risk of inaction Respondents, led by both the Utilities and Consumer Staples sectors, expressed growing concern over reputational risk, value chain risk, and changing patterns in consumer behavior and expectations. Respondents believe failure to craft and execute a credible climate change strategy could create a risk of inaction and turn the sentiments of stakeholders (including investors, civil society groups, customers and employees) against the company (see Figure 6). Many companies are beginning to take a proactive approach to addressing these concerns. Procter & Gamble and WalMart Stores recently announced plans to reduce GHG emissions in their global supply chains. In July 2010, the General Services Administration announced plans to give greater preference to vendors that track and reduce GHG emissions. Similarly, an increasing number of questionnaires and requests for proposal now require potential vendors to provide GHG emissions information, as well as plans for reduction.

“Brand reputation extends beyond customer perception to retention of internal constituents and appeal to potential investors. As climate change awareness increases and consumer behaviors change accordingly, demand for low carbon products will increase as will the backlash against products and their manufacturers perceived to have a negative impact on the environment. This can also negatively impact a company’s ability to attract and retain investors and employees.” Life Technologies
We consider our reputation to act with integrity and accountability and operate responsibly and sustainably to be very important to our business and our customers. The potential financial implications of this risk extend from the ability to access markets to retaining customers to being able to operate within countries and communities.

II. Energy efficiency and operational effectiveness Rising energy prices are expected to impact S&P 500 companies for the foreseeable future. Emerging markets now account for more than half of world demand for oil. In June, the International Energy Agency raised its five-year oil price forecast by US$19 a barrel, citing that oil demand will increase more than previously expected in a supply-constrained market.7 In addition to these higher cost inputs, S&P 500 companies realize that higher energy prices will continue to pinch household discretionary incomes.
Opportunities for reduced costs and increased margins have encouraged S&P 500 companies to move along the enterprise value continuum from risk management toward a greater emphasis on energy efficiency and operational effectiveness. As shown in Figure 7, energy costs represent a significant component of the S&P 500 respondents’ operational spend, making efficiency and effectiveness an ongoing area of focus at the board and management level. To reduce this overhead, S&P 500 companies have been examining their energy or carbon footprints across their global value chains, including how suppliers, internal operations, and consumers use the company’s products and services.

“All of GE’s industrial businesses conducted emissions reduction projects during 2010. 238 projects were completed that saved just over US$7 million with an overall payback period of 1.47 years. An additional 75 projects were identified but are still being explored. The types of projects that were completed ranged from new technologies, to enhancing the efficiency of existing equipment, to engaging employees in energy conservation efforts. Discrete projects included implementing alternative sources of fuel, upgrading or closing buildings, improving electrical distribution efficiency, implementing heat recovery solutions, optimizing industrial gas use, enhancing steam system recovery efforts, installing solar panels, and driving employee engagement and awareness efforts, among many others.” General Electric “Marriott set an aggressive goal in 2007 to reduce energy and water consumption by 25% per available room from 2007 levels by 2017. Since that time, Marriott has implemented linen and towel reuse practices; replaced more than 28,000 PTAC guestroom air conditioning units for a 20% reduction in energy use; replaced more than 1,700 heat pumps with units that are 16% more energy efficient; and installed over 18,000 electronic digital thermostats with motion detection, yielding another 15% in energy use improvement. We also adopted new standards for roof replacements in our full-service hotels that call for extra insulation, thus reducing roof thermal load by at least 25% when a new roof is installed and replaced 450,000 light bulbs with fluorescent lighting.” Marriott International

“In 2009, Praxair voluntarily started collecting environmental key performance indicators (EKPIs) being saved in productivity projects. In 2010, some 8% of projects were tagged “sustainable development” resulting in savings of US$32.9 million, including 278,000 metric tonnes CO2-e (Scopes 1 & 2 GHG savings). Going forward, this process will be embedded in our productivity organization and environmental targets, including Scopes 1 & 2 (direct GHG and energy) reduction targets, established for each business and overall. In addition to reporting these savings, we feel this information will start to add real value in the short and long term as we look for new ways to reduce costs and improve our environmental impact. Moreover, no additional investment was required as this work was accomplished with existing resources.” Praxair “Our underground refrigerated storage facility is built into the natural limestone caves at Springfield, Missouri. Not only do the naturally cool caves require 65% less energy than conventional storage facilities, their large size and central location enable us to consolidate inventory and transport our products to our customers more efficiently. That’s an annual savings of 680,000 liters (180,000 gallons) of fuel, 1,800 metric tonnes (4 million pounds) of carbon dioxide emissions and more than 1.6 million kilometers (one million miles) of truck travel.” Kraft Foods

Commentary Jack Ehnes, CEO, CalSTRS Today, climate risk management remains one of the signature issues in CalSTRS corporate governance program. We work hard to improve our portfolio companies’ climate risk awareness and management. Our partnership with CDP remains essential to the CalSTRS corporate governance engagement efforts that seek to boost long-term shareholder value.
CalSTRS was one of the first public pension funds in North America to support the efforts of the Carbon Disclosure Project. We recognized the growing risk to our investment portfolio that carbon emissions presented and we realized that managing carbon risk needed to be one of the top priorities of our corporate governance program. We believed that the CDP survey presented an ideal means for us to gauge which companies were and were not paying attention to carbon risk.
We depend on data from CDP surveys to evaluate which companies are and are not adequately disclosing the steps being taken to mitigate climate risk. Earlier this year, to further support the efforts of the CDP, CalSTRS sent letters to all U.S. companies that did not respond to last year’s questionnaire, encouraging them to participate this year. We began dialogues with many of these companies and advised them of the importance of climate risk management and requested that they reconsider their decision to not respond. CalSTRS supports the growing use of climate-related shareholder resolutions. We strongly believe this is an important tool for investors to use as an engagement strategy, and here again, CDP data is essential to the development and execution of CalSTRS shareholder resolutions.
For the past several years, CalSTRS has filed resolutions at portfolio companies that did not respond to the CDP questionnaire. These proposals asked companies to improve their level of disclosure on their carbon emissions exposure. In today’s economic environment, there is strategic advantage to addressing climate risk. Complying with CDP initiatives implies you proactively deal with risk factors and that can lead to benefits for both corporations and institutional investors. Companies that measure their carbon emission exposure are better positioned to respond to changing regulatory requirements and to take advantage of efficiency opportunities that can increase shareholder value. Green is a good brand and it appeals to a new generation of sophisticated investors. Institutional investors look for opportunities to remind companies to recognize and report their climate risks and liabilities. Working together we can lead the way as addressing the challenges of climate change becomes ever more critical to sustainable investment growth. On behalf of CalSTRS, I thank the CDP for the work that went into producing the 2011 S&P 500 report.

III. Business opportunity Many S&P 500 companies have already examined how they might deliver new products and services to meet customer concerns regarding regulatory and physical risks from climate change (see Figure 9). These opportunities are related to carbon and energy taxes, cap and trade, and increased business from mandated activities. New Demands As regulation continues to emerge, leading companies also see this as an opportunity to surpass the competition in handling the new requirements and standing out as a true leader in carbon performance. Nearly 50% (159) of S&P 500 respondents also indicated reputational and customer behavior opportunities from the impact associated with positive perceptions of a company’s carbon performance and changing consumer preferences for more environmentally friendly products and services. “To the extent that the government implements any of the well-publicized cap and trade schemes, we will likely have an advantage over our competition. A cap and trade scheme would introduce incentives to reduce carbon emissions from operations to earn a financial instrument or carbon offset credit. These carbon offsets, once earned, will have a positive economic value that Dean can hold as an asset or sell for revenue as the price of carbon changes. Also, because we have operations in Europe and the United States, the potential to generate offset credits from internal projects to meet any future regulatory obligations is a unique and distinct advantage.” Dean Foods “We operate an active carbon market services business that provides risk management, market access and liquidity, and structured finance to a

variety of corporate clients looking to reduce carbon emissions or manage their carbon exposure within the context of mandatory cap and trade schemes. Our Global Carbon Markets business is a top liquidity provider in the EU ETS, the world’s largest carbon market; which accounts for 80% of the value transacted in the global carbon markets and is also an active deal originator in the carbon credits (offsets) segment of the market. To date, we have transacted more than one billion metric tons in the EU ETS. We also participate in the developing carbon markets in California. As individual countries and regions explore the potential for introducing cap and trade schemes, we have the opportunity to advise on how these might be structured, work with clients to take advantage of these new markets; and develop trading and risk management-related solutions for supporting client activity.” Bank of America “Any tax that puts a price on carbon could drive new markets and/or grow existing ones. However to grow new markets, the cost on carbon would be key. In order to stimulate interest in our CO2 capture technologies, which also require large amounts of oxygen, the carbon price would need to be set high enough to make carbon capture sequestration economical. Carbon taxes could also grow existing markets.” Air Products & Chemicals Marketplace impact Greater climate change responsiveness was also perceived as providing favorable reputational and marketplace impact. A proactive stance was viewed as offering long-term growth opportunities, appearing more innovative and attractive to customers and providers of capital, and helping companies to attract and retain premier current and future employees. As indicated in Figure 10, perceptions of these opportunities vary by sector, industry, and company.

CDP S&P 500 Report 2011 – Strategic Advantage Through Climate Change Action
Toward strategic advantage The ability to achieve strategic advantage through climate change action is no doubt a work in progress for most, if not all, companies, even those recognized as leaders in the CDP questionnaire results. Most of the leaders are global or regional companies with superior management and the financial strength to plan beyond quarterly results. On the other hand, similar types of companies in the same industries have adapted at a slower rate. What separates the leaders? To a large extent, it appears to be a matter of perspective and vision. Leaders see managing GHG emissions as meeting a broad array of business challenges and opportunities, now and into the future. Yet others may only see the business case — if at all — as little more than prudent risk management. This difference in perspective matters a great deal. The more relevant, reliable, and timely a company’s carbon reporting data, the easier it is for management to distill enterprise value from it. The firms that are in possession of such data appear to be using it to achieve cost savings, risk mitigation, brand enhancement, and new product development. By reducing their environmental impact, some companies are also reducing the need for future remediation, regulation and litigation. That has a savings component as well.
A lack of high-quality sustainability data, however, can have the opposite effect. Boards and management with incomplete data are hampered in their ability to respond to regulator and investor demands for information. Squeezing out waste and costs becomes more difficult, leading to a competitive disadvantage. Finally, management is unprepared to research, develop, and market the type of energy efficient products that the market is demanding — not just domestically, but worldwide. Investor recognition An important strategic opportunity cited by respondents is the chance to shape investor perceptions regarding the company’s sustainability posture. They believe investors are increasingly conscious of how the environmental efficiency of an organization may have a financial impact on future corporate earnings, and are looking at both potential risks and opportunities from a long-term investment perspective. Respondents also noted that investors tend to view a company’s sustainability and climate change performance as a proxy for the overall quality of a company’s management and the company’s risk and opportunity management systems. “We acknowledge the increasing evidence of linkages between share value and environmental performance. As we grow, we believe that our environmental sustainability commitments will become of increasing interest to our shareholders and other stakeholders and that ultimately a failure to effectively respond could negatively impact our share value.” Gilead Sciences
“We believe global climate change will likely have significant long-term financial implications, although impact will vary both across and within economic sectors and geographic regions. Companies that anticipate these developments with stronger environmental business practices will have greater returns of shareholder capital over the long term as compared to peers that are not prepared for climate change actions. State Street and SSgA have joined with their clients and industry peers to raise awareness over the investment implications of global climate change.” State Street These investor recognition issues were recently borne out by the 2010-11 Institutional Shareholder Services Policy Survey.9 83% of investors said that environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors could have a significant impact on long-term shareholder value and 97% said board oversight of exposure to ESG risks was important to consider in proxy voting decisions. Companies that understand the advantages are making strides to improve the quality of their sustainability data and also to subject the data to independent, third-party verification and assurance. This approach ultimately serves the longterm interests of investors who want to invest in companies concerned about sustainability and that are building strategic advantage through development of next-generation processes and products.

Commentary Douglas J. Kangos, Partner, PwC blank certain fields, such as emissions data. Upon further examination it appeared that these companies simply didn’t have the information to respond effectively. The S&P 500 2011 CDP leaders, however, had plenty of high-quality data available because, fundamentally, they saw the issue differently. They use sustainability to differentiate themselves in the same way they approach brand quality, product quality, service quality, market share, and so on.
Sustainability as competitive advantage The CDP information request is designed to give S&P 500 companies an opportunity to explain their sustainability performance to investor signatories and the public across a broad range of areas, such as in strategy, governance, and GHG emissions management. The S&P 500 companies that scored the best in the 2011 CDP questionnaire provided responses that revealed possession of superior GHG emissions information and strong understanding of the impact of climate change on their companies. But in many cases we found the silences just as revealing as the actual responses provided. The companies that scored poorly tended to leave
Leaders viewed climate change as a business imperative and responded accordingly. They put in place programs, processes, procedures and controls to generate higher, boardlevel intelligence necessary to base resource allocation decisions. And they put the right people in charge, incentivized them monetarily, and insisted on actionable business plans that could be integrated into their overall strategies. The lesson we gleaned from all the data was a simple one. Whether it’s cutting costs and waste, producing new revenues, meeting current and future regulatory requirements in an efficient manner, or responding to investor questions, senior executives must have high-quality data in order to plan and execute accordingly. The responses of the S&P 500’s 2011 CDP leaders showed some striking differences from the rest of the pack. Leaders exhibited a
thorough integration of managing GHG emissions and increasing shareholder value. Their responses cited specific examples in which they used their superior data and greenproduct experience to widen the gap with competitors. Some leaders indicated they were moving beyond mere differences in operational spend, market share and first-mover advantage to establish substantive barriers to entry. Stepping back and assessing the S&P 500 results of the 2011 CDP information request provided an interesting perspective. While each company’s approach to the effects of climate change on their business was unique, it was in the actions of the leaders where we found the greatest similarities. The leaders possessed higher quality GHG emissions data that they freely shared with investors and other stakeholders. They also had firmly embedded the lens of climate change within the operations of their organizations. But, perhaps most importantly, senior executives drove the efforts by establishing and holding their organizations to both absolute and emissions intensity goals. The S&P 500’s 2011 CDP leaders are now distancing themselves from the rest. The expanding GHG regulations across the globe are seen as an opportunity — rather than as a threat — to further secure their leadership positions and build market share.

Carbon Disclosure and Performance The Carbon Disclosure Project requires companies to measure and report: 1. Carbon emissions 2. Integration of climate change into their business strategy, and 3. Perception of climate change risks and opportunities.
Disclosure scores • Disclosure scores are an assessment of the quality and completeness of a company’s response; they are not a measure of a company’s performance in relation to climate change management
Performance bands • Where a company’s disclosure score is 50 or more, its performance in contributing to climate change mitigation, adaptation and transparency is assessed and ranked in a performance band
Disclosure and performance are assessed solely on the company’s CDP response. Companies’ disclosure scores have been reviewed and analyzed for the above elements for a number of years. This is the second year that performance has been assessed.
• Scores are plotted over a 100-point normalized scale
• For 2011 there are six performance bands (there were four bands in 2010)
• Companies are assessed based on their level of disclosure of carbon emissions measurement techniques and subsequent public disclosure
• Companies with the highest performance bands that meet additional CPLI criteria are listed in the CPLI
More information on the CDLI and CPLI can be found in the information request, supporting methodology and guidance documents at www.cdproject.net
• Companies with the highest disclosure scores are listed in the CDLI

Finding strategic advantage through climate change action
The 2011 Carbon Disclosure Leadership Index (CDLI) The CDLI includes the companies with the highest carbon disclosure scores and provides a valuable perspective on the range and quality of responses to CDP’s questionnaire. This year’s Carbon Disclosure Leadership Index (see Figure 12) includes the top-scoring 10% of S&P 500 companies: 55 in total.10 To qualify for this leadership index, a company must respond to CDP using the Online Response System prior to the deadline and make its response available for public use. The average CDLI score in 2011 is 88, up from 86 in 2010 and 82 in 2009. This indicates that the quality and depth of
responses continues to improve despite the bar being raised every year through the CDP questionnaire. The distribution of CDLI companies is spread across a variety of sectors, confirming the view that high quality disclosure is possible regardless of sector. Numerous companies have consistently achieved leadership over the years including 20 companies who have been carbon disclosure leaders for at least three consecutive years. The best-represented sectors in the CDLI are Financials (11 companies) and Consumer Staples (nine companies), which is consistent with the 2010 CDLI (nine for Consumer Staples and eight for Financials).

The 2011 Carbon Disclosure Leadership Index (CDLI)
The S&P 500 respondents showed a strong overall improvement in the area of carbon disclosure. In 2011, almost 23% (77) of total respondents scored 80 or greater compared to 16% (53) in 2010. This trend shows more clearly than ever before that S&P 500 companies are analyzing and understanding the impact of climate change on their businesses. As the overall quality of emissions disclosure has improved in 2011, the leaders (CDLI) have demonstrated a much more mature understanding of the impact of climate change. This appears to be driven by taking a strategic
approach with executive governance to identify meaningful risks and opportunities related to climate change. In 2011, disclosure leaders scored an average of 82 on the opportunity section of the questionnaire and 85 on the risk section compared to 46 and 55 scored by the overall S&P 500 respondents, respectively (see Figure 13). The CDLI companies also consistently outperformed the overall S&P respondents in areas such as managing and reporting emissions data and effectively communicating this information to stakeholders.

The 2011 Carbon Performance Leadership Index (CPLI ) In 2011, there are 11 leaders from a range of sectors which represent six of the 10 sectors. The average performance score for CPLI companies was 80, while the average performance score for the S&P companies that qualified to receive a score was 39. Both of these scores are down from 2010, when CPLI companies had an average performance score of 85 and S&P companies qualifying to receive a performance score had an average score of 47. In recent years, there has been a consistent trend that S&P 500 senior executives are increasingly engaged and want to have accurate and relevant information to make informed decisions about their companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s response to
climate change. In response, CDP has raised the bar by enhancing the questionnaire and scoring methodology for both disclosure and performance questions to make the scoring results more relevant to investors. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s data showed clear improvements to prior year disclosure scores for S&P companies. As companies continue to improve disclosure scores, performance improvements are also recognized, but at a lesser rate. When performance was introduced in 2009 as a pilot, the focus was to measure the extent to which a company had a framework in place to address climate change impacts. This year, performance focused on measuring the quality and status of a companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
short- and long-term actions to mitigate climate change. As a result of this higher and more relevant standard, fewer companies earned a place on the CPLI in 2011 as compared to 2010. Performance improvements tend to take longer to achieve. They generally follow improvements in information gathering and analysis that first lead to an increase in disclosure scores. As companies measure, they can manage and then begin to perform and optimize results. Given the natural progression of performance lagging behind disclosure, the expectation is that companies will continue to improve over the coming years.

12. Carbon performance scores were first introduced by CDP in 2010 (with a pilot in 2009). An asterisk indicates companies that have been carbon performance leaders for at least two consecutive years.
The 2011 Carbon Performance Leadership Index (CPLI)
This year, for the second time, all companies with a sufficiently high disclosure score received a performance band; the qualifying threshold to receive a performance band was a disclosure score of 50. Disclosure scores of less than 50 do not necessarily indicate poor performance; rather, they indicate insufficient information to evaluate performance. However, it can be assumed that companies which do not disclose are inactive on climate change. Performance is grouped into six bands: A, A-, B, C, D and E (see Figure 15).
Notes: • Band A- (A minus) companies are not in the CPLI. They are strong performers, with a performance score high enough to warrant inclusion in the CPLI but they do not meet all other CPLI requirements • CDP reserves the right to exclude a company from the CPLI if there is anything in its response that calls into question its suitability for inclusion
• An assessment of the extent to which a company’s actions have reduced carbon intensity relative to other companies in its sector • An assessment of how material a company’s actions are relative to the business; the score simply recognizes evidence of action It is possible to review individual company disclosures in addition to performance rankings in order to gain the most comprehensive understanding of company performance. A listing of companies and their bands is included in Appendix 2. Companies that did not qualify for a performance band appear in Appendix 2 with a dash (-) in the performance band column.
• Attain a disclosure score of 50 or above
• A measure of how low carbon a company is
• Attain a performance score greater than 70
Figure 15: Carbon performance elements
• Score maximum performance points on question 13.1a (absolute emissions performance); at least a 2.65%13 reduction in carbon emissions must have been achieved as a result of emissions reduction activities over the last year • Disclose gross global Scope 1 and Scope 2 figures • Score maximum performance points for verification of Scope 1 and Scope 2
Performance band (A is highest)
Eligibility for the CPLI (Band A)
Performance scoring is an instructive exercise for all stakeholders. The score provides an indication of the extent to which companies are addressing the potential opportunities and risks presented by climate change. CDP recognizes that this is a process that will evolve over time. It is important for investors to keep in mind that the carbon performance band is not:
The Carbon Performance Leadership Index (CPLI) includes the companies in the highest performance band (A) and provides a valuable perspective on the range and quality of activities being performed by the S&P 500 in response to climate change.
More information can be found in the information request, supporting methodology and guidance documents, as well as within individual company responses at www.cdproject.net
Band A/A- (>70) Fully integrated climate change strategy driving significant maturity in climate change initiatives Band B (>50) Integration of climate change recognized as priority for strategy, not all initiatives fully established Band C (>30) Some activity on climate change with varied levels of integration of those initiatives into strategy Band D (>15) Limited evidence of mitigation or adaptation initiatives and no/limited strategy on climate change Band E (≤15) Little evidence of initiatives on carbon management potentially due to companies just beginning to take action on climate change No performance score allocated below a disclosure of 50%
13. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has set a target of 80% reduction in emissions by 2050, based on 1990 levels. This equates to a 2.65% annual reduction.

CDP S&P 500 Report 2011 – Strategic Advantage Through Climate Change Action
CPLI leaders tended to exhibit a comprehensive approach to climate change action in four key areas.
• Strategy: Companies scoring highly in this area were most likely to demonstrate integration of their climate-related priorities into their overall business strategy. They frequently disclose targets aligned with those ambitions and emission reduction initiatives. • Governance: Companies scoring highly in this area were most likely to demonstrate the most structured and most defined climate change management mechanisms by frequently reporting formalized accountability, incentives and oversight from the board or executive level.
• Stakeholder communications: Companies scoring highly in this area were most likely to recognize the importance of providing transparent and quality disclosures for their stakeholders by taking steps to verify data and report climate-related information in their external communications. • Achievements: In support of their commitment to reduce emissions, these companies disclose the highest number of actions taken to reduce their emissions, and most report success in achieving emissions reduction.
