STAMFORD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 16, 2015--
Today, the international not-for-profit organization CDP named Pitney
Bowes (NYSE:PBI) to the 2015
“A List” for Climate Change Transparency. One of only five firms in
the industrial sector to achieve the ranking, Pitney Bowes scored 99 out
of 100 for disclosure of high quality carbon emissions and energy data.
The announcement is timely as COP21,
the UN climate change conference, convenes in Paris, France November 30
– December 11, 2015. National leaders will meet on a global deal to
reduce carbon emissions and limit global temperature warming.
Disclosures from the world’s largest listed companies reveal the extent
to which corporations have shifted their strategies over the past five
years to become part of the solution to the climate challenge.
“As the world looks beyond the Paris climate change negotiations and
prepares for a low carbon future, reliable information about how
companies are responding to the transition will be ever more valuable,”
said Paul Dickinson, Executive Chairman and Co-Founder of CDP. “For this
reason, we congratulate those businesses that have achieved a position
on CDP’s Climate Disclosure Leadership Index.”
“Building on a long tradition of corporate
citizenship, we have developed smart, sustainable programs that
leverage physical and digital technologies across our global operations
and benefit clients, employees and communities,” said Daniel Goldstein,
Chief Legal and Compliance Officer of Pitney Bowes. “It’s an honor to be
recognized by CDP for our efforts to minimize the impact of climate
change.”
CDP charts the changed corporate landscape over five years, comparing
data from 1,997 companies in 2015 with 1,799 in 2010. Globally,
companies are taking action and making investments to prepare for the
transition to a low carbon economy.
