Outokumpu has been commended by the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), which represents 551 institutional investors, for its approach to climate change information.
For the third time Outokumpu is featured in CDP's "Carbon Disclosure Leadership Index". This index, a key component of CDP's annual Nordic 260 Report, highlights the constituent companies within the Nordic stock exchanges, which have displayed the most professional approach to corporate governance in respect of climate change disclosure practices. Companies are scored on their climate change disclosure and high scores indicate good internal data management and understanding of climate change related issues affecting the company. Outokumpu was given a score of 84/100.
The index provides an evaluation tool for institutional investors and other stakeholders. In 2011, it comprises 20 constituents of the Nordic 200 Index based on analysis of the responses to CDP's 2010 questionnaire, which focused on greenhouse gas emissions, emissions reduction targets and risks and opportunities associated with climate change.
