Une nouvelle étude publiée par le CDP confirme que les S&P500, leaders de l’industrie américaine, sont aussi activement engagés contre le changement climatique. Ces entreprises génèrent :
- une rentabilité supérieure de 18% si l’on compare aux entreprises de mêmes secteurs et 67% supérieure à celles qui ne communiquent pas sur le sujet du changement climatique.
- Une plus grande stabilité avec une volatilité inférieure à 50% au cours de la dernière décennie
- Une croissance des dividendes aux actionnaires: 21% plus forte que leurs pairs de bas rang
L’analyse montre comment ces entreprises – parmi les plus rentables dans le monde – gèrent leur avenir et la préservation de leur rentabilité en prenant des mesures contre le changement climatique :
- Les réponses aux questionnaires de CDP
- Des objectifs ambitieux de réduction des émissions de GES
- La mise en place d’une bonne gouvernance et de la gestion des risques du changement climatique
- Le recours à une tarification du carbone.
Chaque année CDP classe les entreprises en fonction de leur performance dans deux indices: le Climate Disclosure Leadership Index (CDLI) et l’indice du climat Performance Leadership (CPLI). Pour 2014, les entreprises du S & P 500 sont présentées ci-dessous.
