ITV has made the annual A list of companies recognised for leadership in corporate transparency and performance on climate change by global environmental non-profit CDP.
The broadcaster is among a number of media industry companies on the list, including Adobe, BT Group, Cisco Systems, Fuji Film, Microsoft Corp, Panasonic, Sony, and Telefonica.
CDP’s annual environmental disclosure and scoring process is widely recognised as the gold standard of corporate environmental transparency.
Key achievements from ITV included aligning net zero targets with the latest standard from the Science Based Targets initiative, establishing a robust governance system to ensure progress to target and accountability across the business, aligning reporting with the recommendations of the Taskforce for Climate related Financial Disclosure, as well as collaboration and engagement across the broadcast industry and supply chain.
Chris Kennedy, CFO and COO of ITV, said: “ITV is delighted to be improving our CDP score once again this year by achieving an A score. Over the last few years, CDP has helped to guide ITV’s approach in embedding climate action coherently across the whole business, ensuring that we are fit to thrive in a sustainable future. Achieving an A rating gives us confirmation that we are putting solid foundations in place to navigate the transition successfully.”
