Call for entries: Europe’s Climate Leaders 2021
Simply sign up to the European companies myFT Digest -- delivered directly to your inbox.
For the first time, the Financial Times and Statista, the German data provider, are compiling a list of European companies that have achieved the greatest reduction in emissions intensity.
The aim of the ranking is to highlight the businesses whose greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) intensity — that is, GHG emissions relative to revenue — fell the most between 2014 and 2019. The ranking will be published in a print edition of the Financial Times in spring 2021, as well as online at ft.com.
All European companies with a minimum revenue of €40m or £36m in 2019 are eligible for consideration (see below for the full list of eligible countries).
In order to participate, we invite you to fill out a short questionnaire about your company’s GHG emissions for all available years between 2014 and 2019, and its revenue over the same period (or, for banks, the yield). We also ask you to send us a data verification form.
Potential candidates will be contacted by Statista or can put their name forward at this website.
The ranking will be determined by the compound annual reduction rate (CARR) of the emissions intensity. More information about the methodology, conditions of participation and useful contacts can be found at the Statista website.
