Fujitsu Recognized for Climate Change Action and Transparency with CDP Leadership Positions
Tokyo, November 6, 2013 — Fujitsu has been commended by CDP, for the second year running, for the action it is taking to reduce emissions and mitigate the risks of climate change and its approach to the disclosure of climate change information. The achievement is announced today in the CDP Japan 500 Climate Change Report 2013.
At the request of 722 investors representing $87 trillion in assets, Fujitsu this year took part in CDP's climate change program, designed to enable management of greenhouse gas emissions and the risks and opportunities associated with climate change.
Fujitsu has achieved positions in CDP's Japan 500 Climate Performance Leadership Index (CPLI) and Climate Disclosure Leadership Index (CDLI). The CPLI and CDLI highlight the constituent companies within the large Japanese 500 companies (Japan 500) including companies in the FTSE Japan Index. Including Fujitsu, there were 12 Japan 500 companies chosen for CPLI and 24 companies for CDLI.
Paul Simpson, chief executive officer of CDP, comments on CPLI: "Natural resource scarcity is increasing, the scientific case for action to mitigate climate change is strengthening and the number of investors requesting corporate action on climate change through CDP is continually increasing. We congratulate companies in the Climate Performance Leadership Index for their pioneering efforts to combat climate change and grow low carbon economies at this critical time."
With regard to CDLI, he further commented: "Companies that score highly enough to be included in the Climate Disclosure Leadership Index are responding to the call for greater corporate climate accountability. They have demonstrated leading practice for the measurement of greenhouse gas emissions and energy use and transparency of their climate change strategy."
