Irish Life Investment Managers (ILIM) is a Dublin-based asset manager which has participated in five cycles of CDP’s Non-Disclosure Campaign (NDC). For ILIM, the NDC is an opportunity to combine their voice with like-minded investors, emphasizing that disclosure is an important first step to drive environmental action and is a practice they wish to see from all investee companies.    In our latest case study, we explore ILIM's successful engagement with companies like Mincon Group Plc, highlighting how proactive environmental disclosure can de-risk operations and align with evolving global standards.   Read more: https://lnkd.in/ek-8bsDa

CDP is proud to have supported the Global Plastics Treaty Ad Hoc Intersessional Open-Ended Expert Groups last week in Bangkok. Our team, including Pietro Bertazzi, Shirley Chen, and Devyandra Eka Putri, hosted two informal side events to bolster the expert discussions, and were pleased to see good progress on the key issues of financing options, and chemicals of concern and product design.   In 2023, CDP expanded its global disclosure platform, empowering companies to disclose their plastic-related activities, impacts, risks, and opportunities. CDP presents – for the first time – the results from this landmark corporate plastic data from almost 3,000 companies. These findings represent a performance baseline for accelerating corporate action on plastic pollution and waste and highlight the significant gaps to be addressed in companies’ awareness of, and action to mitigate, plastic-related impacts and risks.   Robust, comparable data disclosure by companies is crucial for catalyzing private finance, aligning capital flows, and achieving the treaty’s objectives. Earlier this year, CDP’s data revealed that many companies are overlooking plastic-related risks, highlighting the need for mandatory corporate disclosure.   Governments must seize this opportunity to create an ambitious Global Plastics Treaty with mandatory disclosure at its core. As plastic production, use and pollution rises, urgent action is needed to limit its impacts.   Disclosure is the foundation of action, helping companies manage their plastic-related impacts and compete globally. CDP’s plastics disclosure initiative is in partnership with The Ellen MacArthur Foundation, The Pew Charitable Trusts, the Minderoo Foundation, and WWF.   To read more on the plastic disclosure data, visit: https://lnkd.in/e-Z2nyk3

After a public consultation phase conducted in June, CDP and WWF will publish the new version of the Temperature Scoring Methodology in early September. The open-source methodology translates corporate greenhouse gas emission reduction targets into a temperature score. It enables comparison of portfolio companies’ climate ambitions and alignment with global temperature goals, aggregating this to the fund / portfolio level. It also serves as the foundation for CDP’s Net-Zero Alignment Dataset.   Main changes and improvements focus on using the IPCC's AR6 climate model simulations / scenarios for linear regression models, clarifications and further transparency on the methodology’s purpose, rationales, and key limitations. To share more information on the changes and additions to the original methodology, the project team will be hosting two webinars on Tuesday, September 17.
