ET GLOBAL CARBON RANKINGS 2016
ET CARBON DISCLOSURE LEADERS 2016
ET Carbon Disclosure Leaders are the
companies that are doing most to measure
and communicate their carbon exposure.
These are companies that are reporting
public, complete data for Scope 1 and
2 emissions, obtaining independent
assurance of this data, and disclosing all
15 Scope 3 Categories.
In 2016 there are 25 companies that make
it into the list. Many of them are never
likely to feature as one of the top ten most
carbon-efficient companies because they
are in more carbon-intensive sectors such as
Resource Transformation and Infrastructure.
Most of them are not even leaders in their
own sector. However, these are companies
that are proactively seeking to manage their
carbon risk exposure.
By measuring and reporting on carbon
emissions across their operations they are
demonstrating that they are taking the issue
seriously and gathering the information
they will need to improve their carbon
efficiency. Companies that disclose their
Scope 1 and 2 emissions increased their
carbon efficiency by 15% from 2015 to 2016,
going from 221 tonnes of CO2 per million
dollar of revenue to 189.
The Asia-Pacific region is the most heavily
represented region with 10 companies,
followed by Europe with 8, North America
with 6, and BRICS with 1.
Table 10 includes companies from the ET
