Cement companies show positive performance in CDP ranking
28 January 2019


International organisation CDP has released its annual ‘A List’ which names the world’s leading businesses and scores them on their approach to climate change, water security and deforestation.

The ranking is from A to D-, with F indicating a failure to provide sufficient information to be evaluated. The score assesses the level of detail and comprehensiveness of the response to CDP’s questionnaire, as well as the company's awareness of climate change issues, management methods and progress towards action taken on climate change as reported in the response, according to the organisation.

As shown below, the majority of leading cement companies scored positively on the climate change ranking.
