TUI praised for climate change disclosure
TUI Travel has been ranked sixth in the FTSE 350 Carbon Disclosure Leadership Index (CDLI). It was the only tour operator to be featured in the CDLI.
This year the company received a carbon disclosure score of 90 which is a 27% improvement on last year’s score (71) and places TUI Travel in the top quartile of the CDLI.
Compiled by PricewaterhouseCoopers on behalf of Carbon Disclosure Project, the CDLI highlights FTSE 350 Index companies with the most professional approach to corporate governance in respect of climate change disclosure practices.
Companies are scored on their climate change disclosure and high scores indicate good internal data management and understanding of climate change related issues affecting the company.
TUI chief executive Peter Long said: "We are delighted once again to be recognised for our good corporate governance in respect of carbon management and the progress we have made this year.
"We have a firm commitment to manage our environmental footprint from the Board level down. We have been putting measures in place to reduce our current and future carbon emissions. Our goal is to reduce our direct carbon emissions by 6% by 2013/14."
