CA Cheuvreux, first broker selected to write a Carbon Disclosure Project, is pleased to present the first issue of the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) – Europe 300 report.

This report is a global initiative on behalf of 475 investors worldwide. It includes analyses of the answers provided by 247 European companies to a questionnaire focused on climate change-related issues and developed by the Carbon Disclosure Project.

This report has for objective to propose a study that goes beyond the usual analysis of disclosure scores (based on a scoring methodology developed by PwC). It provides useful quantitative analyses based on data provided by companies, in order to allow intra-sector benchmarking of groups' carbon risks and emission reduction strategies.

Francois Simon, Chairman & CEO of CA Cheuvreux, report writer, said: “Disclosure by European companies has improved substantially in recent years, from both a quantitative and a qualitative standpoint.  In more than 80% of European companies, top managers take an active role in climate change issues. Due to an increasing interest in this subject on behalf of the buy side, we place this matter at the heart of our research and investment services."
