Context• Investors lacking information regarding risks and
opportunities from climate change and GHG’s.• Scientific consensus• Kyoto ratified but just the beginning, new taxation and
regulation expected in every nation and state• EU ETS will have unknown impacts• Many US states have developed policies: RGGI• More extreme weather events, $70bn losses 2003• Adaptation costs• Potential litigation• Growth in Carbon funds / Clean Technology investment• Growing investor collaboration (CDP, IIGCC, INCR)

Growing Awareness but Gaps in Action
92% of Responding Companies Consider Climate Change to Represent Commercial Risks and/or Opportunities. But fewer have also… CDP3
Allocated Management Responsibility for Climate Change-Related Issues 86% Disclosed Emissions Data 80% Implemented Emission Reduction Programs 51% Established Emissions Targets and Timeline 45% Taken Early Action in Emission Trading 35%

Evaluating the Responses
In CDP3, FT500 companies were asked nine questions that focused on the following:
1. Climate change as a financially-relevant risk/opportunity2. Allocation of management responsibility for climate change3. Relevant technologies4. Emissions trading5. Total annual emissions in tonnes of CO2e 6. Emissions from products and services7. Internal reduction programs and targets8. Emissions intensity9. Energy costs

The Good
• ABN Amro has developed a number of carbon finance services based on EU ETS allowances.
• Dow Chemical saved approximately $3 billion in energy costs between 1994-2004 due to improvements in energy efficiency
• Entergy owns 80 MW of wind power and has purchased over 500,000 emission reduction credits generated from landfill methane and coal mine methane recovery projects.
• FPL Energy represents nearly 40% of the current U.S. installed wind capacity of 3,000 MW.
• GE’s "ecomagination" initiative, a dedicated eco-efficiency product line that focuses on renewable energy technologies, hybrid locomotives, low-emission aircraft engines and water purification equipment. The company anticipates sales of ecomagination products to increase from a current level of $10 billion to $20 billion by 2010.
• HSBC is the world's first major bank to commit to "carbon neutrality."• Toyota has sold approximately 318,000 hybrid vehicles worldwide and is
currently researching low-emission vehicles that run on biogas.

The Bad
• M&T Bank replied that it was "not sure" whether climate change represented commercial risks and/or opportunities for their business.
• DBS Group, one of the largest financial services groups in Asia, indicated that "climate change does not represent commercial risks or opportunities for the company because we are a financial institution.“
• SK Telecom responded that, "as a telecommunications service provider, our business has no direct relationship with climate change.“
• DirecTV, a US pay-television service provider, commented that, "the CDP questions are, for the most part, irrelevant to our industry.“
• Liberty Media declined to participate in CDP3 on the grounds that it “does not apply to our company.”

Cost of Carbon Varies between sectors
Carbon cost: $20 p/t carbon, Emissions Constraint: 20%, Compliance Period: 7 years

Data Comparability – Challenges Persist
• 266 Companies Provide Emissions Data in CDP3…• …But only 153 (58%) can be accurately
benchmarked due to incomparability of data
– A variety of methodologies exist (i.e. not all companies using the WRI/WBSCD GHG Protocol)
– Varying interpretations of operational boundaries– Estimated vs. calculated data

CDP3 Conclusions
• Remarkable progress has been made by companies, in both the disclosure and the strategic management of climate risk and business opportunities
• Challenge for Institutional Investors: integrating climate risk considerations into stock selection and portfolio construction.
• Promising evidence: a doubling in the asset base of CDP signatories (up from $10 trillion in CDP2 to $21 trillion in CDP3).
• Investors are informing themselves, more action to follow.

electrical utilities, largest companies in France, Canada, Australia, Asia, South Africa.
• 31 May 2006 closing date for corporations responses• September 2006 launch of third CDP report & website

Comments on CDP
“when the Carbon Disclosure Project, which is sponsored by institutional investors with over $4 trillion in managed assets, looked at the ability of the 500 largest companies in the world, it stated that "GE stands out as being especially well-placed with respect to providing low-carbon solutions to a number of key greenhouse gas emitting markets.“We view this change as a business opportunity and a chance to focus our own environmental efforts; we already have a terrific array of products and services that focus on emission reduction and energy efficiency; and we are moving ahead with data collection and analysis to enable us to plan for the future.” Jeff Immelt, CEO GE

������������� ����� ��������������� ����� ��������������� ����� ��������������� ����� ��
John Browne, CEO BP, 26.11.03
“we've come to the judgment that to avoid serious impact upon societies or the environment it is necessary to stabilise atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases at around 500-550 parts per million. Today's level is around 370 ppm and has risen from pre-industrial levels of 280 ppm. That range of 500-550 parts per million could shift as the scientific understanding improves, but it establishes a present day objective to which action can be directed.”

Closing thought
“Embedded in the challenge of climate change are both dangers and possibilities. Immense dangers for firms and investors who make bad choices, or no choices, about how to respond to the risks, and are then held accountable in the marketplace, the boardroom, or the courts; and immense possibilities for firms and investors to turn challenge into opportunity.”Dr. John Holdren, Professor, Harvard University
