SECOM has been selected as an “A-list company” in the CDP’s survey for two consecutive years

SECOM Headquarter in Japan has been recognized as an “A-list company”, the highest rating in the survey on climate change initiatives conducted by the international environmental NGO, CDP, for two consecutive years.

What is CDP?

The CDP (formerly the Carbon Disclosure Project) is an international environmental NGO established in the UK in 2000. It provides a global system for measuring, disclosing, managing, and sharing environmental information of corporations and cities. On behalf of institutional investors, it urges companies, organizations, and cities around the world to disclose information about the environment and resources through questionnaires on climate change, water resources, forests, etc., and promotes measures to reduce environmental impact.

The CDP awards scores to companies and municipalities worldwide for their strategies, responses, and disclosure efforts related to climate change. Among these, organizations demonstrating superior initiatives are published as “A-list”.

In 2023, approximately 23,000 companies worldwide responded, of which 109 Japanese companies were recognized as “A-list” in climate change.
