UNDERSTANDING THE <strong>ET</strong> <strong>CARBON</strong> <strong>RANKINGS</strong><br />
Disclosure by Sector<br />
As shown in Figure 5, the Renewable<br />
Resources and Alternative Energy SICS sector<br />
performs best in terms of the quality of<br />
disclosure with 67% of companies reporting<br />
complete data and 44% featuring in the<br />
top disclosure category: public, complete<br />
and third-party assured. However, it is<br />
not particularly surprising that this sector<br />
performs well, given that being low carbon is<br />
a key marketing touch point. The <strong>ET</strong> Carbon<br />
Rankings feature only nine companies in this<br />
sector, which includes Vestas Wind Systems.<br />
The Resource Transformation sector has the<br />
second-best record with 51% of companies<br />
disclosing complete data, and 30% having<br />
their data independently assured. The<br />
Resource Transformation sector is well<br />
represented in the Rankings with 210<br />
companies overall. It includes names such<br />
as BASF, Dow Chemical and BAE Systems.<br />
The Transportation sector comes third, with<br />
39% of companies disclosing complete<br />
information, and 22% of those having their<br />
data independently assured. This sector is<br />
represented by 138 companies and includes<br />
names such as UPS, Deutsche Post and TNT.<br />
The Health Care, Financials, and<br />
Consumption II (consumer goods) sectors<br />
have the lowest levels of disclosure with<br />
32%, 34% and 37% disclosing complete data,<br />
respectively. It could be argued that they are<br />
traditionally viewed as ‘low risk’ sectors and<br />
therefore experience less pressure than more<br />
carbon-intensive sectors to disclose.<br />
