'Climate Risk Profiles' Released for Top Companies

Posted

A coalition of faith-based investors representing over $100 billion announced they have compiled “climate risk profiles” of over 150 corporations, using data from an independent company.

The companies' profiles were developed by independent environmental data company Trucost, and noted whether a company reveals their greenhouse gas emissions, the percentage they deviate from their closest industry peers, and over 700 environmental indicators including water use, waste disposal and pollutants.

Examples of the top and bottom performers in three sectors include:

Chemicals - Chemtura Corp. (top) and Dow Chemical Company (bottom).

Financial Services - Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (top) and Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (bottom).

Technology - Google Inc. (top) and Intel Corporation (bottom).
