Taking Care of Business

The Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) is hoping the fourth time’s a charm with its most recent letter urging the world’s largest companies to disclose their climate-management data. The coalition of institutional investors representing $31 trillion in assets had already sent three such letters to the Fortune 500, but has since broadened its scope, posting letters to 1,800 of the largest quoted companies in the world. (We couldn’t help noticing that the new mailing list includes 300 of the largest emitters in Canada. Looks like the CDP has reason to feel optimistic in that quarter: A new survey by the Conference Board of Canada found that Canadian companies see a clear business case for disclosing climate risk.)
