[PDF] Carbon Disclosure Project Report 2008: India 200

Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP)...provides a platform to...companies...to voluntarily report on their carbon emissions...The second CDP India report...covers 200 top Indian companies... and...has raised two concerns – one, 69% (138) companies did not answer the CDP6 questionnaire in 2008, including some leading companies which responded in 2007 but not this year; and two, increase in number of companies, especially energy-intensive companies who declined to participate. Both of these concerns clearly demonstrate that there is still an enormous amount of work to be undertaken to raise the awareness and capacities of the Indian companies...A significantly high percentage of companies who responded to CDP6 acknowledge climate change and GHG emissions as a major challenge...that is likely to impact their business and financial performance, market and customers if not today then in the future.
