Leading regional aircraft manufacturer, ATR has “received a B-score from CDP Climate Change – formerly ‘Carbon Disclosure Project’ – after disclosing its environmental impact for the first time, hereby joining global efforts towards environmental transparency.”
Annual CDP scores are considered the global benchmark underlining the maturity and robustness of companies’ actions to lower and mitigate the impact of their activities on the environment and climate change.
ATR says its data “joins the most comprehensive inventory of self-reported environmental data in the world, helping drive action against climate change through greater transparency.” CDP’s scores ranging from A to F are attributed on the basis of the exhaustiveness of the disclosures and the organisation’s environmental risk mitigation performance. Additional criteria include environmental awareness and leadership and the organisation’s record of setting ambitious, meaningful environmental objectives.
Nathalie Tarnaud Laude, ATR’s Chief Executive Officer, said: “We strongly believe that true progress towards a sustainable future comes from relentless self-assessment and a commitment to international, science-based standards. As we submitted our decarbonisation roadmap to SBTi and received approval for our near-term emissions reduction targets, we wanted to go even further.”
Sherry Madera, Chief Executive Officer at CDP, said: “With over 23,000 businesses disclosing through CDP this year, it is clear that sustainability – and the data that underpins it – is not a ‘nice to have’, but an essential part of long-term success in the business community that is showing no sign of slowing down – nor should it. A 1.5° future is still possible if the global community works in lockstep to get there. By sharing their environmental data with CDP, ATR is continuing an environmental journey that will contribute to keeping that future in sight.”
