Sustainability Offers a Competitive Advantage & Better ROI

According to the 2012 Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) report, sustainability makes companies more competitive and offers investors better returns. This is driving an increasing number of publicly traded companies to embrace sustainability as part of their long-term strategy to combat climate change. The CDP gathers information for investors about the environmental policies of large companies and the environmental risks they face. The CDP has created an index to recognize the world’s best companies called the Carbon Performance Leadership Index (CPLI). The companies that make it onto these lists tend to generate superior returns for investors.

“Our focus is less on payback periods and more on targeting environmental investments to be ‘value positive,” Deirdre Mahlan, Diageo’s CFO, said. “It is insufficient, and even irresponsible, to consider only short term payback when making investment decisions.”


“An investment in a basket of stocks of CPLI companies following the publication of CDP’s global report each year since 2006 and rebalanced on any annual basis to reflect that year’s CDLI would have generated total returns of 67.4 percent, more than double the 31.1 percent return of the Global 500,” write the CDP report authors. “Moreover, past CPLI companies generated average total returns of 15.9 percent since 2010, more than double the 6.4 percent return of the Global 500.”

The Carbon Disclosure Project’s report concludes: “Those companies that have an awareness of long-term climate-change risks and opportunities reflected in their business strategy will gain strategic advantage over their competitors.”
