The work of the Carbon Disclosure Project in diligently attempting to survey every major corporation produces a unique snapshot of the corporate carbon culture.
This year's FTSE 350 Report shows UK companies are disclosing the highest ever levels of greenhouse gas emissions — at 390 million metric tons of CO2-equivalent, equating to 61% of total UK emissions. But only 35% of the FTSE 350 disclosed emissions reduction targets. Some environmental campaigners say this only highlights the unwillingness of major corporations to be open about their environmental credentials.
This is lower than the 51% of Global 500 companies reporting emission reduction targets to CDP. So, are British companies just less open than their global peers?
We've only included the latest figures this year - as the FTSE 350 report includes a new methodology. Next year, we'll report them together so we can see how things have changed.
So, what do these numbers tell us? The Carbon Disclosure Leadership Index rates firms according to the level and quality of their disclosure and reporting on greenhouse gas emissions and climate change strategy data.
These are the numbers - but only for the companies that actually responded to the CDP. Let us know if you can mash them up with any other datasets - or visualise them
