“We have long believed that including environmental costs in reporting, reduces risk and will strengthen society’s ability to deliver a global economic model which balances efficiency and resiliency.”
BT

The pressure is growing for companies to build long-term resilience in their business. The unprecedented debt crisis that has hit many parts of the world has sparked a growing understanding that short-termism can bring an established economic system to breaking point. As some national economies have been brought to their knees in recent months, we are reminded that nature’s system is under threat through the depletion of the world’s finite natural resources and the rise of greenhouse gas emissions.
Business and economies globally have already been impacted by the increased frequency and severity of extreme weather events, which scientists are increasingly linking to climate change1. Bad harvests due to unusual weather have this year rocked the agricultural industry, with the price of grain, corn and soybeans reaching an all time high. Last year, Intel lost $1 billion in revenue and the Japanese automotive industry were expected to lose around $450 million of profits as a result of the business interruption floods caused to their Thailand-based suppliers.
It is vital that we internalize the costs of future environmental damage into today’s decisions by putting an effective price on carbon. Whilst regulation is slow, a growing number of jurisdictions have introduced carbon pricing with carbon taxes or cap-and-trade schemes. The most established remains the EU Emissions Trading Scheme but moves have also been made in Australia, California, China and South Korea among others.
Enabling better decisions by providing investors, companies and governments with high quality information on how companies are managing their response to climate change and mitigating the risks from natural resource constraints has never been more important.
CDP has pioneered the only global system that collects information about corporate behaviour on climate change and water scarcity, on behalf of market forces, including shareholders and purchasing corporations. CDP works to accelerate action on climate change through disclosure and more recently through its Carbon Action program. In 2012, on behalf of its Carbon Action signatory investors CDP engaged 205 companies in the Global 500 to request they set an emissions reduction target; 61 of these companies have now done so.
CDP continues to evolve and respond to market needs. This year we announced that the Global Canopy Programme’s Forest Footprint Disclosure Project will merge with CDP over the next two years. Bringing forests, which are critically linked to both climate and water security, into the CDP system will enable companies and investors to rely on one source of primary data for this set of interrelated issues.
Accounting for and valuing the world’s natural capital is fundamental to building economic stability and prosperity. Companies that work to decouple greenhouse gas emissions from financial returns have the potential for both short and long-term cost savings, sustainable revenue generation and a more resilient future.

Executive summary
Companies today are facing calls for greater transparency and accountability. The Leveson Inquiry into press standards and the investigations in to LIBOR-fixing highlight the increased scrutiny of corporate actions by regulators, shareholders and other stakeholders. Companies are increasingly being challenged to demonstrate how they are responding to the financial risks posed by climate change. In 2012, the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) sent its annual request to FTSE 350 companies on behalf of 655 investors with US$78 trillion in assets, asking them to measure and disclose what climate change means for their business.
For more than a decade, CDP has pioneered carbon reporting; it has established itself as the global platform through which organisations disclose investor-relevant climate change data. When CDP launched its first FTSE 350 report in 2006, only 49% of companies responded (83% of FTSE 100). This year, 69% (240) of the FTSE 350 did so, including 96% of the FTSE 100. The analysis in this report is based on 238 responses received by 30th June2 and shows the quality of reporting by UK companies and their preparedness for impending regulation.
In the summer of 2012, the UK Government announced it would be the first in the world to require all companies listed on the main market of the London Stock Exchange to disclose their gross global emissions (not just those from UK-based operations) in their annual reports. Although the proposed legislation currently covers Scope 1 and 2 emissions only, it is likely this will expand in the future. In the UK, reporting emissions from Scopes 1 and 2 has become standard practice – almost all (93%) CDP respondents report Scopes 1 and 2 – however, only 64% of respondents include this emissions data in financial
reports. CDP’s information request already goes beyond the basic requirement of the proposed legislation to provide information that is of real value to investors, quantifying, for example, the extent to which a company is at risk from factors related to climate change.
There is growing pressure for these annual reports, traditionally built on historic financial data and focusing on short term performance, to reflect a company’s exposure to all risks, including those from climate change and wider environmental issues. As a result of this, there is an increasing call for a change in the conventional reporting model towards Integrated Reporting. This system aims to better demonstrate the relationship between an organisation’s strategy, governance and financial performance and the social, environmental and economic context within which it operates. To this end, the Climate Disclosure Standards Board (CDSB), a special project of CDP, has developed the Climate Change Reporting Framework, which is designed to link financial and climate change related reporting in annual reports (see page 46).
It is clear that the future of carbon reporting will increasingly be driven by regulation: 84% of responding companies believe upcoming regulations pose a risk and 32% believe these are linked to emissions reporting obligation. However, 74% also see regulation as an opportunity and 20% see reporting obligations in the same light. The most commonly reported impact from this is an increase in demand for an existing product or service (28% of reporting opportunities). We do however expect leading companies to take action ahead of regulation; indeed, already 80% of the Carbon Disclosure Leadership Index (CDLI) include climate change information in their annual reports (non-CDLI: 49%) (see page 23).

Being able to tell a positive story is important to manage stakeholders’ expectations and win new business opportunities. Diageo highlights that 2011 was a record year for total number of shareholder resolutions related to environmental issues, including climate change. Electrocomponents notes that reporting obligations can make its customers more aware of energy conservation opportunities which may increase the demand for its products and services. BT notes that, in 2012, its sustainability credentials were requested in £2.7billion of customer bids.
Financial auditors hold a responsibility to read all information in the annual report, including the data that will be reported by companies next year as part of the UK’s proposed mandatory reporting regulations. Any apparent discrepancies or disparities may impact the financial audit opinion. Encouragingly, this year there was an increase in companies reporting to CDP some form of verification or assurance of their Scope 1 and 2 emissions from 25% in 2011 to 31% in 2012, although the proportion jumps to 89% for the CDLI companies.
Companies are increasingly aware that they need to provide a complete story to all stakeholders and report on all factors which could affect their long term prosperity. The process of reporting through CDP, as shown by the highest scoring companies, brings about strategic change: although only 33% of responding companies consider themselves to have a strategic advantage relating to climate change, the proportion increases to 74% when looking at the companies listed on the CDLI. For example, United Utilities believes that an experience in delivering a business strategy which integrates climate change and a transparent strategic narrative around climate change puts it at an advantage.
Similarly, while the percentage of companies who integrate climate change into their business strategy remains low (56%), 95% of CDLI companies have an integrated strategy. The examples from CDLI companies show how regulation requiring more integrated reporting may help other companies close the gap on the leaders.
In the past decade, government regulation, from building standards and the EU ETS to the recently proposed mandatory reporting legislation, have helped drive carbon measurement and disclosure. Pressure from investors and customers, as seen by the work of CDP, has helped prepare companies for regulation. As the tools and frameworks (such as CDSB’s Climate Change Reporting Framework) for reporting become available and improve, the private sector has found that disclosure becomes easier and more valuable. Future developments in climate change reporting will focus on retaining global consistency, improving the quality of data and demonstrating an integration of climate change into wider business strategy. Mandatory reporting in the UK will continue to drive more companies to report emissions and include this information in their annual reports. Reporting through CDP will provide more detailed information for companies to determine what is material to their business, and for investors to use in their research and analysis of future risks. There will also be an expectation that the information reported is verified and assured.

I am pleased to introduce the CDP FTSE 350 Report 2012. As a responsible long term investor, the London Pensions Fund Authority (LPFA) recognises environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues, such as natural capital, are often not captured by the traditional investment appraisal process but can have a material impact on long term investment returns. Driving this issue is insufficient disclosure by investee companies on how ESG issues impact their business model. As a result, we welcome the CDP’s recent merger with the Forest Footprint Disclosure Project, which together now represent the world’s largest natural capital disclosure system covering carbon, water and forests. This is an exciting development as it demonstrates the integrated approach that is needed to address these complex sustainability challenges. Having this information in one place will better facilitate investors’ assessment of the environmental footprints of companies. At the LPFA, this will aid in our efforts to hold our external fund managers and ultimately our investee companies to account for integrating ESG risks and opportunities into their strategic decision making.
The theme of this year’s report is the Future of Reporting, an issue which is currently under a significant amount of stakeholder scrutiny and in my view lies at the heart of the “externality” problem. When a company does not sufficiently demonstrate how ESG issues tie into their business model, it makes it more challenging for an investor to make the same assessment and as a result, ESG issues stand a greater chance of getting excluded from the investment process. In addition, the reliability of
the underlying ESG data in reporting has also been called into question, with a recent report3 noting few companies in the FTSE 350 assuring their sustainability reports.
However given recent events, I believe that the tide may be turning. The UK Government has made a major advancement by its introduction of mandatory reporting of greenhouse gas emissions for all companies listed on the main market of the London Stock Exchange by April 2013. As a board member of the European Institutional Investors Group on Climate Change, I am hopeful that this development will spark a more coordinated regulatory effort on tackling climate change at an international level. We have also seen a growing number of market-driven, innovative initiatives seeking to improve the reporting mechanism, such as the International Integrated Reporting Council and the CDP-endorsed Climate Disclosure Standards Board (CDSB). The CDSB’s Climate Change Reporting Framework empowers companies to provide information that connects the financial, governance and environmental impacts of climate change in their reporting to investors. As clarity and transparency in reporting is a key focus area for the LPFA, we will continue to support CDP’s visionary efforts in this crucial area, and remain hopeful for significant positive developments in the future.

Building greater accountability to shareholdersIt is increasingly important to shareholders that companies be accountable and transparent on environmental issues which pose financial risks. As such, the quality and quantity of climate change reporting has radically changed. CDP has been at the forefront of carbon reporting for over ten years. It has become the mechanism for organisations worldwide to measure and disclose greenhouse gas emissions and climate change risk information which is of value to investors. When CDP launched its first FTSE 350 report in 2006, only 49% of companies responded to the questionnaire. This year, 69% of companies (96% of the FTSE100, 2006: 83%) responded, disclosing more information than ever before (average disclosure score in 2012: 66, 2011: 63). Companies are increasingly responsive to CDP’s request, which shows that business sees the threats and opportunities presented by climate change as real and material.
The UK Government recently announced regulation, which will be applicable to companies from next financial year, that all UK-registered quoted companies will have to report their greenhouse gases emissions in their Directors’ Report. By being the first country in the world to mandate disclosure of gross global emissions for the entire organisation in annual reports, the Government is recognising the importance of corporate reporting in driving company and shareholder actions. This is supported by Defra’s 2011 consultation on measuring and reporting on greenhouse gas emissions, which showed that two thirds of companies were in favour of mandatory reporting.
Reporting greenhouse gas emissions through CDP has become a standard part of the reporting process for UK
companies (93% report Scope 1 and Scope 2 emission), but fewer (64%) disclose greenhouse gas emissions as part of their corporate financial reports. Annual reports are often long, complex and focus on short term performance, based on historic financial data. Longer term business sustainability and broader issues such as environmental and social performance are rarely adequately covered. The global financial crisis has heightened the value of information disclosure, risk management and good corporate governance. There is also an increasing appetite to change the annual reporting model to include metrics that reflect a company’s exposure to all risks – including climate change. An emerging approach to this is ‘Integrated Reporting’, showing the relationship between an organisation’s strategy, governance and financial performance and the social, environmental and economic context within which it operates. CDSB, a special project of CDP, has developed a Climate Change Reporting Framework which is designed to link financial and climate change-related reporting in a company’s annual report.
While the proposed scope of reporting mandated by the UK Government remains limited to Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions reporting for now (and only covers a small set of the information reported to investors through CDP), it will likely increase over time. Some of the catalysts of better reporting include: continued economic uncertainty; growing interdependencies in business models; higher frequency of business disruption events (both climatic and man-made); and changing expectations from stakeholders. Despite these drivers, not many companies are integrating climate change in their strategy (2012: 56%, 2011: 46%) and only 31% verify or assure any of their emissions (2011: 26%).

Types of Reporting Investor requested reporting: Investor requested reporting is the provision of information by a company that goes beyond regulatory requirements and is of value to investors. Investor requested disclosures can include detailed information on a company’s greenhouse gas emissions and climate change-related information including governance, strategy and risk. CDP is an example of investor requested reporting.
Mandatory carbon reporting: Compulsory reporting by companies of their carbon emissions to regulators enabling investors and others to see which companies are effectively managing the hidden long-term costs of carbon (greenhouse) gas emissions. The proposed UK government mandatory reporting regulations due to be introduced from April 2013 require companies to include emissions data for their entire organisation (gross emissions) in their annual reports. Companies already reporting to CDP should be prepared to meet the requirements of this regulation. CDSB’s climate change reporting framework will be listed in the regulation guidance as a method for companies to comply with the proposed regulation.
Mainstream (annual) reports: These are the annual reporting packages in which certain organisations are required to deliver their audited financial results under the corporate compliance to securities laws of the territory or territories in which they operate. Mainstream reports are normally publicly available and provide information to existing and prospective investors about the financial position and financial performance of the organisation and are distinct from material published separately. The exact provisions under which companies are required to deliver mainstream reports differ internationally and examples include UK Companies Act 2006, Regulation (EC) No 1606/2002 of the European Parliament and the Council on the application of international accounting standards and the US Securities and Exchange Commission Regulations S-K. Mainstream reports include financial statements and other financial reporting.
Integrated reporting: Integrated reporting connects information about an organisation’s current decisions with its future prospects; connecting information about strategy, risk, remuneration and performance; and recognising that the economy, environment and society are inseparable and therefore information provided to understand an organisation’s performance in each of these areas needs to be viewed as part of a whole. Integrated reporting helps boards of directors to see the issues they face more clearly, and enables them to explain their business rationale to stakeholders with greater clarity and authority.
Non-financial reporting: Non-financial reporting is shorthand for the critical contextual information about social and environmental performance that is reported alongside financial information to provide a broader, more meaningful understanding of a company’s business, its market position, strategy, performance and future prospects.

Climate change reporting: drivers and content Companies are increasingly aware that they need to tell a comprehensive story to all stakeholders and report on all elements which could affect their business continuity. Good reporting can demonstrate preparedness for regulations and motivate companies to critically evaluate their internal processes. Shareholders and customers are making choices based on both economic and environmental issues and transparent reporting can help companies to increase market share. Most significantly, some companies have stated that the process of reporting on climate issues has brought about strategic change.
To provide material, shareholder relevant, information to financial markets, companies need to report on the risks, opportunities and strategies associated with climate change across a company’s entire operation. This would include their suppliers, customers and other critical elements beyond the legal entity itself. CDP has been asking FTSE companies to disclose this information voluntarily, through its global reporting platform, since 2006, promoting an overall increase in awareness of the business-critical issues (see Figures 2 and 3).
RegulationThe introduction of new climate change regulations will motivate companies to report on the impact of those regulations. The future of carbon reporting will increasingly be driven by the introduction of new climate change regulation. Currently, regulatory risks and opportunities are the most reported type of risks and opportunities, with risks far outweighing opportunities (see Figure 4). 84% believe upcoming regulations pose a risk (2011: 77%)
and 32% believe these are linked to emissions reporting obligations (2011: 33%). For example, Morrison notes how reporting could be detrimental to its business if the regulation does not conform to the current voluntary method it uses: it could increase administrative costs or highlight relatively poor performance with respect to Morrison’s peers.
Tate & Lyle notes the absence of a binding international agreement to tackle climate change means levels of ambition, regulation and costs are developing differently around the world. Royal Dutch Shell believes that a real carbon price in the global energy system will be the most effective approach to managing greenhouse gas emissions internationally. It does not believe voluntary industry GHG targets will significantly help progress regulatory discussions across the globe.
Other UK regulations are also seen as risks. For instance, 41% of responding companies state that they see the CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme as a risk, in large part because of the uncertainties surrounding it. HSBC notes that the CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme put it at a disadvantage by not taking account of its carbon neutrality. Shanks and Derwent London are amongst those companies who report that administrative costs linked to the CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme will place a significant burden on their operations (Shanks: £205,000, Derwent London: £319,000). The Confederation of British Industry supports mandatory carbon reporting as an important way to help businesses save money and emissions, provided it is done in a sensible way.

However, regulations can also lead to opportunities, as outlined by 72% of respondents (2011: 76%). For example, Kier notes how the need to comply with the CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme has been a major driver internally with regards to opportunities to improve energy efficiency and reduce energy consumption.
Emissions reporting obligations are one of the main regulatory opportunities (2012: 20% of respondents). The most highly reported impact from this is an increase in demand for an existing product or service (28% of reporting opportunities) with all opportunities being achievable in the near future (current opportunities: 56% of companies, opportunities in 1-5 years: 60% of companies).
Aegis notes how being able to proactively meet increasing emission reporting obligations will enhance its credibility amongst stakeholders. Cairn Energy and Diageo echo this by stating that they will gain a competitive advantage over other companies if they perform well in this area. Diageo has shown a long-term commitment to reporting its emissions, which has helped identify carbon hotspots and drive efficiencies. It believes this gives an advantage relative to competitors who lack such understanding or are not as well prepared for compliance with upcoming reporting regulations: there is a clear advantage to being an early-mover.
Existing and future regulations may lead to new costs due, for instance, to feed-in tariffs or carbon taxes. The fluctuating (and low) price of carbon is hindering investments. Aviva notes how the current low carbon
prices do not create the right incentives for private investment in low carbon infrastructure, while fluctuating fuel costs, often affected by regulation, are creating financial risks for companies. On the other hand, Rolls Royce notes how it has invested in facilities, operational improvements and energy efficiency programmes in order to lower its exposure to fuel-related costs and carbon-related costs. This decoupling is clearly shown by increasing revenue by 151% while decreasing greenhouse gas emissions by 33% between 1998 and 2011.
This clearly shows how regulation will drive the requirement to report and that the impacts of climate change related regulation will have an immediate relevance to the financial decisions for shareholders.
Reputation and stakeholder expectationsReporting climate change activities is not only important to comply with regulations, but also to manage reputation. Telling a positive story, through voluntary and mandatory communications is important to satisfy stakeholders’ needs, manage their expectations and win new business opportunities. This is even more important for those companies looking to take strategic advantage over their competitors and lead in the low carbon market. As the number of companies reporting increases, and report wider and deeper information, the expectation will grow for their peers to match their demonstration of managing the business impacts of climate change.
In 2012, 61% of responding companies highlighted risks (2011: 50%) and 60% highlighted opportunities (2011: 53%) associated with their reputation, changes

in consumer behaviour, or both. There are good reasons for why companies will consider reputational impacts an increasingly important reporting issue. Diageo, for instance, highlights that 2011 was a record year for shareholder resolutions related to environmental issues including greenhouse gas reporting. Spectrics notes that a number of the products it developed in 2011 have been influenced by climate change and reflect the drive from its customers to reduce energy consumption and emissions. Reporting can translate into a boost to brand value and reputation. British Sky Broadcasting notes that emission reporting guidelines (it uses Defra’s Voluntary Reporting Guidelines and the Greenhouse Gas Protocol) have enabled companies that are investing and reducing their carbon emissions to benefit by being seen to be a leader on climate change. This, in turn, can bring with it reputational benefits, the ability to attract and retain talent and the opportunity to build new partnerships with like-minded organisations and suppliers. Electrocomponents supports this assertion by noting that reporting obligations can make its customers more aware of energy conservation opportunities which may increase the demand for its products and services.
A leading reputation can stem from reporting commitments but also from bold internal policies. For example, Lloyds Banking introduced in 2011 a ‘No Travel Week’ once a month to reduce its business travel emissions by 20% by 2020. Imperial Tobacco grants environmental projects exemptions from their normal requirements that pay backs should occur within three years. Communicating and reporting this will improve a company’s reputation.
Consistency and reliability of emissions dataThe UK’s mandatory reporting regulation will require companies to report their Scope 1 and 2 emissions in their annual reports. While responding companies are increasingly confident in measuring and reporting their Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, there is still some way to go with the reporting of Scope 3 emissions. The quality of Scope 3 data disclosed to CDP was mixed due to the complexity involved in assessing some types of Scope 3 emissions. For example, a majority of responding companies (69%) measured business travel emissions as part of their Scope 3 emissions but few reported their upstream (19%) and downstream goods (25%) emissions. The updated Scope 3 protocol released in November 2011 will help consistency of reporting, but until there is a real driver to report on this area, the harder to measure Scope 3 items are unlikely to be reported in full.
Financial auditors hold a responsibility to read all financial and non-financial information in the annual report to identify material inconsistencies with the audited financial statements. This includes the data that will be reported by companies next year as part of the UK’s mandatory reporting regulations. Any apparent material misstatements or inconsistencies may impact the financial audit opinion. Over time, this may be seen as a risk that
leads companies to request that their emissions data is assured.
Reporting comparable and reliable data is important to ensure the data can be relied upon to drive key decisions. Stakeholders are looking for independent third party verification or assurance to help them to assess the materiality and accuracy of the companies’ reported data.
There was an increase in companies reporting some form of verification or assurance of their emissions in 2012 from 25% in 2011 to 35% in 2012. CDP has provided considerable input to drive this rise in verification, including the Carbon Performance Leadership Index (CPLI) (see page 26) entry requirement for verification or assurance over Scope 1 & 2. Verification and assurance adds credibility to companies’ efforts in tackling and reporting their actions on climate change: it adds an independent, external opinion on the data and is strong proof for investors of companies’ willingness to clearly disclose their performance and their progress. This increase in verification of emissions will prepare these companies for future, more stringent, reporting regulation, and reduce the risk of incorrect emissions reporting.
Gaining a business and strategic advantage from reportingCompanies are increasingly aware of the benefit of reporting on carbon issues. As Tesco notes, growing consumer awareness of climate change means that there are strong reputational benefits to taking a lead in the transition to a low carbon economy: companies’ actions can have a significant bearing on the ability to win business and/or investors. 89% of CDLI companies already recognise these reputational opportunities (non-CDLI: 55%).
BT Group highlights that, in 2012, its sustainability credentials were requested in £2.7billion of customer bids. The potential revenue streams are huge: RBS views the climate change-related market to be £200-400bn in size while HSBC’s Climate Change Centre of Excellence
“Longer term, we have integrated our Carbon Critical Design philosophy into all of our business decisions. The campaign aimed to raise our employees’ awareness of the criticality of carbon in every project that we deliver so that they in turn could engage our clients on carbon.”

estimates that the global market for low-carbon energy solutions in 2020 could be over US$2.2 trillion.
In addition, investors are increasingly using climate performance metrics to positively and negatively screen potential investments. United Utilities believes that an experience in delivering a business strategy which integrates climate change and a transparent strategic narrative around climate change puts it at a strategic advantage. Indeed, while only 33% of responding companies consider themselves to have a strategic advantage relating to climate change, the proportion jumps to 74% when looking at the companies listed on the CDLI. While the percentage of all reporting companies who integrate climate change into their strategy remains low (2012: 56%), 95% of CDLI companies already have an integrated strategy. 80% of the CDLI also includes climate change-related information in their annual reports.
Being able to report a long-term understanding of physical risks provides greater confidence to shareholders and customers. While customers may focus on the environmental impact of companies’ products or services, investors may focus on the long-term resilience of their business. Extreme weather patterns are increasingly frequent in the UK and worldwide (physical risks were highlighted by 74% of respondents) and can have a significant impact on a company’s business continuity. For example, Debenhams notes how a number of its supply chain operations are located in areas at risk from flooding or droughts and the supply of materials for products may be negatively affected by extreme weather events.
The gulf in the quality of reporting between CDLI companies and non-CDLI companies highlights how regulation will help other companies catch up with the leaders. Mandatory reporting, such as the UK’s proposed regulations on GHG reporting, will provide further impetus towards an integrated reporting model.
“We recognise that climate change is not just an environmental challenge; but also one that affects the health and livelihood of millions of people because of the links to complex issues such as poverty; economic development and population growth. We believe that the most effective response to the challenges associated with climate change can only be achieved through a concerted global effort.”

The Future of Reporting The culmination of several factors coming together has helped drive greater levels of carbon disclosure in the past decade. Government regulations, from building standards and the EU-ETS to the recently proposed mandatory reporting legislation, now require companies to measure and report their emissions as part of compliance. Stakeholder pressure from investors and customers, as seen by the work of CDP, helps prepare companies for regulation. As the tools and frameworks (such as CDSB’s Climate Change Reporting Framework) for reporting become available and improve, the private sector will continue to find that disclosure becomes easier and more useful.
Looking to the future, the evolution of reporting on climate change will be focused on the following key issues: retaining global consistency in reporting, improving the quality of data and demonstrating an integration of this understanding into strategy. Mandatory reporting in the UK will continue to drive more companies to report emissions and include this information in their annual reports. Voluntary reporting through CDP will provide more detailed information for companies to determine what is material and for investors to use in their research and analysis of future risk. There will also be an expectation that the information reported is verified and assured.
The detail of the UK Government’s new regulations, in particular regarding the boundary requirements, will be crucial in deciding whether companies are truly prepared for mandatory reporting or not. However, there is no doubt that CDP has been crucial in preparing companies for mandatory reporting. The investor-relevant information requested by CDP is currently more comprehensive than the proposed UK reporting requirements, and provides a global platform that continues to drive forward strategic change and business benefit and will prepare companies with the data they need to be ready for whatever the future of reporting is.
18
The years since CDP started asking organisations for climate change-related information have seen significant developments in awareness of resource constraints, market inefficiencies and global risks and the private sector has been identified as needing to play a crucial role in addressing these issues. This has had consequential effects on reporting requirements. New legislation, standards and codes encourage or require companies to report on an increasingly wide range of factors designed to inform governments, investors, consumers and society about all aspects of their performance so that more effective decisions can be made by stakeholders about how to allocate and protect resources.
The future of reporting is likely to focus on refining the substance and format of these new requirements both to recognise the changing nature of business, (in particular its reliance on intangible rather than physical assets to create value) and to meet the needs of stakeholders seeking to secure sustainable economic growth. The widespread adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards gives a universal language for the disclosure of financial results, now we need equivalent internationally recognised standards on the measurement and assessment of the non-financial resources and relationships on which companies depend for their success together with mechanisms for disclosure of that information through mainstream reporting channels.
Much progress towards this has already been made by CDP through the significant non-financial reporting capacity it has built and its ever-pioneering advances such as the development of an XBRL taxonomy for climate disclosure. Complementing the work of the International Integrated Reporting Council (IIRC), CDP’s special project, the Climate Disclosure Standards Board (CDSB) focuses on mainstream reporting of climate change-related information in annual filings to investors. The requirements and principles of CDSB’s Climate Change Reporting Framework are designed to support assurance activities and are extensible to reporting on other forms of natural capital.
Work on reporting by governments and other organisations has been likened to notes on a musical score that are currently being played in isolation. The future will hopefully see more orchestration of efforts on reporting as envisaged by the inter-agency work on consistency by CDSB, GRI, the OECD and UNCTAD. Corporate reporting should reflect our need to work in harmony with each other and with our planet.

Taking the next step in reporting
Over the last few years, we have seen sustainability and climate change move more towards the mainstream of business thinking and reporting. This has been driven by a number of factors: companies seeing the potential business benefits (for example GE generated US$21bn in revenues in 2011 from a US$2.3 billion R&D investment in their eco-imagination division); the realisation that growth cannot be sustained with declining natural capital; and a need for companies to meet changing customer needs. What is clear is that businesses are seeing sustainability and climate change as a new way in which to change their business model, strategy and generate and sustain multiple competitive advantages into the future.
However, capitalising on this opportunity is not straightforward. This is where reporting has a part to play. Reporting is all about telling it how it is: in a way that is balanced, unbiased, clear about the relevance to the business and some external context. However, it also needs to be concise, to the point, and memorable. And when it comes to corporate reporting, comparability should be added to this list of attributes.
With all of these attributes it is challenging but necessary to demonstrate how a business is seizing the opportunities and addressing the risks from climate change. The UK’s recent announcement of mandatory greenhouse gas emissions reporting for companies listed on the London Stock Exchange provides the necessity for many companies to report. The challenge will be telling a compelling picture to go along side the basic information that needs to be disclosed.
The underlying principles of integrated reporting are a good place to start when looking at the next steps in reporting:• Discuss the external market drivers: capture economic,
competitive, regulatory, geopolitical, environmental, social and technological drivers and be future orientated about how these are shaping the market in which you operate.
• Be transparent around your strategy: show how this responds to the market drivers, is aligned to remuneration policies and the identified risks, and inform the reader about the extent of this across the value chain in which you operate.
• Explain how the business model enables you to differentiate: include the relative importance of resources (financial, human and natural capital) and relationships (customers, suppliers, employees, etc.).
• Disclose your performance: give a balanced assessment of performance on progress against strategy, including Key Performance Indicators and targets, to provide insight into how the business is dealing with the market drivers.
• Think of the future: the future orientation of the business and how it is going to continue into the future will be important to the reader.
Giving a balanced picture is not as easy as it sounds. Climate change is a complex issue fraught with uncertainty. Admitting that you do not have all the answers and don’t have certainty about how it will impact the business is never easy. But biased reporting has less credibility and risks being branded as ‘greenwash’. Those who have the courage to deal with uncertainty are those who will capitalise on the opportunities.

By leading on emissions reductions activities and CO2 accounting, as well as driving this through our value chain, we believe we can make our biggest difference to improving and preserving natural capital. Reporting plays a key role here. For a number of years we have been connecting our fiscal metrics to our nonfinancial KPIs to demonstrate the real value add of our policies, practice and performance to our stakeholders.
Transparency in reporting is critical, as it increases trust and helps to highlight the cost gaps of externalities. Our stakeholders are calling for the benefits of transparency and increased visibility in enabling the old adage: what you value, you protect. We have long believed that including environmental costs in reporting, reduces risk and will strengthen society’s ability to deliver a global economic model which balances efficiency and resiliency.
Environmental impacts from climate change are a thorny and pressing example. A recent study concluded that CO2e emissions and resulting climate change impacts account for a large and growing share of environmental costs. Trucost estimate these external costs as US$ 4.5 trillion in 2008 and rising to US$ 21 trillion in 2050. These environmental costs are unavoidable and translate into business costs in the guise of: insurance premiums, environmental taxes, rising supply costs and the cost associated with infrastructure repairs after severe weather events.
For example, the widespread flooding experienced across many parts of the UK in 2007 caused an additional 31,000 customer complaints and cost BT approximately £9m in operational insurance claims. More recently the severe flooding affecting Thailand last year caused severe human suffering and ecological damage. It also impacted on our industry by increasing costs and supply lead times for hard drives. Suppliers of such equipment are often clustered geographically; Thailand manufactures over 70% of the world market in hard drives. We know that there’s more to do to factor this into our climate change adaptation strategy. This summer in the UK our fault rate in the network increased by some 30% - this is despite our long term efforts to protect the network from flooding, wind damage and lightning strikes.
We all need to do more to ensure that businesses’ products and services can deliver more good to society than the natural capital consumed in their making, delivery and end of life. Transparently accounting and reporting for environmental costs, connecting non-financial and financial metrics, will play a central part in enabling this imperative.
Tony ChanmugamGroup Finance Director, BT
Reducing our business costs often go hand in hand with reducing our impacts on the environment. We know this with certainty since we’ve been measuring and reporting our environmental performance since 1992. But the goalposts are shifting, and rightly so. Reporting needs to frame and illuminate the global challenge of increasing population and consumption that is bringing break-point pressure on finite environmental resources.
As a business we are increasingly being asked to demonstrate how the decisions that we make impact on the environment and society, in particular through our supply chain and the products and services we provide our customers. Some of our customers are making commitments to accounting for natural capital and exploring aligned frameworks so that we can all speak the same language and count the same numbers. Investors too are increasingly looking to factor environmental considerations into investment decisions.
For BT, we believe that one of the biggest differences that we can make is by applying our people, skills and technology to help reduce the demands on the planet’s natural resources. For example, it’s been calculated that our sector generates some 2% of Carbon Dioxide equivalent (CO2e) worldwide and that our products and services could help avoid 15% of worldwide emissions by 2020.
Neither BT nor its supply chain is a large user of natural capital, but many of our business customers are, and we offer a host of services designed to help them be more efficient. Our primary raw material is energy. Energy powers the communications solutions that keep people and businesses connected. In the UK alone BT consumes around 0.7% of the country’s electricity, spending around £250m per annum and generating over 600,000 tonnes of CO2e emissions.
The Future of Reporting – A Company Perspective
A number of multinationals such as leading telecommunications group BT have demonstrated aforward-thinking approach to preparing their carbon statements by using the CDSB’s Climate Change Reporting Framework for climate change reporting since 2010.

2012 Leaders
Introduction to the Carbon Disclosure Leadership Index (CDLI) and the Carbon Performance Leadership Index (CPLI) Each year, company responses are reviewed, analysed and scored for the quality of disclosure and performance on actions taken to mitigate climate change. The highest scoring companies for disclosure enter the CDLI and the highest for performance enter the CPLI.
What are the CDLI and CPLI criteria? To enter the CDLI, a company must:• Make their response public and submit it via CDP’s
Online Response System;• Achieve a score within the top 10% of the reporting
population (35 companies in 2012).To enter the CPLI (Performance Band A), a company must:• Make their response public and submit it via CDP’s
Online Response System; • Attain a performance score greater than 85;• Score maximum performance points on question 13.1a
(absolute emissions performance for GHG reductions due to emissions reduction actions over the past year);
• Disclose gross global Scope 1 and Scope 2 figures; and• Score maximum performance points for verification of
Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions.
Why are the CDLI and CPLI important to investors? Analyses of the CDLI and CPLI provide insights into the characteristics and common trends among the leading companies on carbon disclosure and performance. They highlight good practices in reporting, governance, risk management, verification and emissions reduction activities that drive climate change adaptation and mitigation.
Additionally, good carbon management and disclosure may be used as a proxy to assess where management are applying superior understanding of their risk profile and opportunities to help increase financial returns and the sustainability of their business. Companies in the CDLI and CPLI typically show a deeper understanding of, and address more pro-actively, the risks and opportunities presented by climate change. They build this into their strategy, risks and opportunities management and reporting processes. This transparency, and willingness to disclose information, is attractive to investors as they can make a more informed decision based on this information.

CDLI
T2 THE CDP FTSE 350 CDLI 2012
In 2012, all ten sectors were once again represented and Financials was, as in 2011, the most represented sector (nine companies) although the most over-represented was Utilities, of whom 43% are in the CDLI (See Figure 6). There is a clear relationship between companies attaining a position in the CDLI and in the CPLI: six out of the seven (87%) CPLI companies are also in the CDLI (in 2011, all seven (100%) of the CPLI companies were in the CDLI).
Some of this year’s leaders have shown consistency over a number of years: 16 companies have now been in the CDLI for four years. However, nine companies are included in the CDLI for the first time this year. While the disclosure score required to enter the CDLI in 2012 is similar to last year, the average CDLI score increased once again to 88 (2011: 87, 2010: 85).
Emissions ReportingCDLI companies are far better prepared for the introduction of mandatory reporting regulations than non-CDLI companies:• 100% of CDLI companies report Scope 1 and Scope 2
emissions (non-CDLI: 91%);• 97% of CDLI companies report Scope 3 emissions
(non-CDLI: 69%);• 94% of CDLI companies verify their Scope 1 emissions
(non-CDLI: 22%);• 89% of CDLI companies verify their Scope 2 emissions
(non-CDLI: 20%);• 34% of CDLI companies verify their Scope 3 emissions
(non-CDLI: 13%);• CDLI companies report, a mean average, three different
Scope 3 types of emissions (non-CDLI: two categories); and
24
• 80% of the CDLI companies already include information on climate change in their annual reports (non-CDLI: 49%).
Overall, CDLI companies already show a far higher willingness and transparency around their processes, achievements and targets. This preparedness will allow them to respond better to any future regulatory requirements for emissions reporting.
Risks and OpportunitiesCDLI companies are able to better understand the risks and opportunities presented by climate change and link these to their strategies and risk management procedures.
On average, CDLI companies scored 77% of disclosure points for questions related to opportunities (non-CDLI: 42%) and CDLI companies scored 84% of disclosure points for risks (non-CDLI: 52). Figures 8 and 9 show how CDLI companies consistently outperform other companies in identifying regulatory and physical risks and opportunities.
Integrating StrategyLeaders are not only reporting the short term impact of climate change but are equally integrating climate change into their long-term strategy. 57% of the CDLI recognise risks with timeframes of more than ten years (non-CDLI: 24%) and 23% of the CDLI recognise opportunities with timeframes of more than ten years (non-CDLI: 12%).
CDLI companies have already adapted their strategies and reflect best practice reporting across the board:
• 94% (non-CDLI: 49%) of the CDLI have integrated climate change into their strategies;
• 97% have monetary incentives (non-CDLI: 35%); and • 100% have climate change risk management
procedures (non-CDLI: 72%).
74% of CDLI companies believe they currently have a strategic advantage relating to climate change. Indeed, the leaders demonstrate their preparedness for climate change and forward thinking by outperforming average FTSE 350 respondents in all areas of disclosure: emissions management, reporting, governance and strategy, opportunities, risks and stakeholder engagement (see Figure 10).
“Longer term (15-20 years) strategic opportunities are focused on providing products and services that enable adaptation and resilience to the impacts of climate change.”

The criteria to enter the CPLI was more stringent in 2012: companies had to obtain a performance score above 85, achieve at least a 3% reduction in carbon emissions as a result of emissions reduction activities over the last year and disclose and verify Scope 1 and 2 emissions. All companies in the 2012 CPLI are new to the index, however six of the seven are also in the CDLI.
In addition to showing high levels of disclosure, companies are showing leadership by implementing actions. Figure 11 shows how CPLI companies are strongly outperforming non-CPLI companies in a number of areas.
CPLI companies are already, without exception, disclosing details of their greenhouse gas emissions in public reports, with the vast majority (86%) choosing to put this information in their annual reports. The leaders are therefore well placed to adapt to the Government’s new reporting requirements without significantly needing to modify their business processes. In addition, in
accordance with the CPLI entry requirements, 100% of the CPLI verify both their Scope 1 & 2 emissions (non-CPLI: 32%).
All CPLI companies are setting absolute and intensity targets to monitor progress: 57% of CPLI companies have absolute targets (non-CPLI: 32%) and 71% have intensity targets (non-CPLI: 36%). CPLI companies are not only setting and disclosing targets but, importantly, are working towards meeting them. CPLI companies are meeting their targets faster than the non-CPLI respondents: 86% of CPLI companies have met or are ahead of their targets (non-CPLI: 43%).
By already integrating climate change into their mainstream business processes, the vast majority of leading companies are ideally placed to meet future reporting requirements and are at the forefront of driving the change in the business as usual approach to adapting to a sustainable future.

DP Declined to Participate IN Provided Information NR Not Responded X Company did not fall into one of the CDP
samples in that year * The company reported Scope 3 emissions
from “Other (upstream)” or “Other (downstream)” categories; however, these were not included in the count of ‘Number of Scope 3 categories reported’ as they are not one of the 15 specific named Scope 3 types.
d Emissions figures have been rounded to the nearest whole number. Due to rounding the Total Scope 1 + Scope 2 Emissions” column may not equal the “Scope 1 column” and “Scope 2 column” added together. There has been a change in the way in which Scope 1 and 2 emissions reported under CCRF are calculated although this is not expected to cause a major change in reported emissions. In 2011 the Scope 1 and 2 figure was taken as Parent and subsidiaries under control of the parent whereas in 2012 joint ventures are also included.

The Climate Disclosure Standards Board (CDSB), a special project of CDP, is an international organisation committed to the integration of climate change-related information into mainstream corporate reporting. Established in 2007 at the World Economic Forum, CDSB is a coalition of environmental and business NGO’s, accountancy professionals, companies and representatives from the investment community, advancing its mission by acting as a forum for collaboration on how existing standards and practices can be supported and enhanced so as to link financial and climate change-related reporting and respond to regulatory developments.
In September 2010, CDSB launched its internationally accepted Climate Change Reporting Framework designed for use by companies in making disclosures in, or linked to, their mainstream financial reports about the risks and opportunities that climate change presents to their strategy, financial performance and condition. It has been developed using existing standards and practices to ensure a clear harmonised approach to reporting rather than creating a new standard and in so doing, it leads to globally consistent and comparable information reaching financial markets. Designed inline with the objectives of financial reporting and rules on non-financial reporting, CDSB’s Climate Change Reporting Framework offers a leading example of how to apply the principles of integrated reporting with respect to reporting on climate change.
CDP’s disclosure system is the mechanism for organisations worldwide to: measure and disclose greenhouse gas emissions and climate change risk information which is of value to investors; help companies understand what is material to their business and take strategic action; and prepare companies for mandatory reporting. Together CDP and CDSB provide a full disclosure toolkit for companies on carbon and climate change, both in reporting to financial markets and in preparing for, and adhering to, mandatory reporting around the world. Companies are advised to disclose in full to their shareholders and customers through CDP and can then pull the information that is most financially material into their mainstream reports using the reporting requirements as outlined in CDSB’s framework.
Learn more about CDSB and download your own copy of CDSB’s climate change reporting framework at www.cdsb.net.
