TORONTO, Nov. 25, 2015 /PRNewswire/ - Celestica Inc.
(NYSE, TSX: CLS), a global leader in the delivery of end-to-end
product lifecycle solutions, today announced it has been identified
as a Canadian leader for the quality of climate change related
information that it has disclosed to the global marketplace through
CDP, the international not-for-profit that drives sustainable
economies. It is therefore awarded a position on the Canada Climate
Disclosure Leadership Index (CDLI), released today in the
Canada edition of CDP's annual
global climate change report. The news comes three weeks ahead of
COP21, the UN climate change
conference, when national leaders meet to agree a global deal to
reduce carbon emissions and limit temperature warming.
Celestica has earned its position on the index by disclosing
high-quality carbon emissions and energy data through CDP's climate
change program. The reported data has been independently assessed
against CDP's scoring methodology and marked out of 100. Those
organizations graded within the top 10% constitute the CDLI.
Celestica has scored 98.
"We're very pleased to be included in CDP's Climate Disclosure
Leadership Index," says Rob
Mionis, President and Chief Executive Officer, Celestica.
"Transparency and continuous improvement in environmental
performance are important elements of our sustainability strategy
and demonstrate to our stakeholders that we are responsible
corporate citizens in the regions in which we operate."
At the request of 822 investors who represent US$95 trillion in assets, thousands of companies
submit annual climate disclosures to CDP. Top scores indicate a
high level of transparency in the disclosure of climate
change-related information, providing investors with a level of
comfort to assess corporate accountability and preparedness for
changing market demands and emissions regulation.
Paul Dickinson, executive
chairman and co-founder of CDP says: "As the world looks beyond the
Paris climate change negotiations
and prepares for a low carbon future, reliable information about
how companies are responding to the transition will be ever more
valuable. For this reason we congratulate those businesses that
have achieved a position on CDP's Climate Disclosure Leadership
Index."
CDP's annual global climate change report, along with the
climate scores of all companies publicly taking part in CDP's
climate change program this year, is available on CDP's
website.
