Call for entries: Asia-Pacific Climate Leaders 2022
Simply sign up to the Asia-Pacific companies myFT Digest -- delivered directly to your inbox.
For the first time, the Financial Times, Nikkei Asia and Statista, the German data provider, are compiling a list of Asia-Pacific companies that have achieved the greatest reduction in greenhouse gas emissions intensity.
The aim is to highlight the businesses whose GHG emissions intensity — that is, emissions relative to revenue — fell the most between 2015 and 2020. The list will be published in a print supplement of the Financial Times in mid-2022, in the print edition of the weekly magazine Nikkei Asia, and online at ft.com and asia.nikkei.com. A sister list covering European companies can be found here.
All Asia-Pacific companies with a minimum revenue of $50m in 2020 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 2015 and 2020, and its revenue over the same period (or, for banks, the net interest income). We also ask you to send us a data verification form, which needs to be downloaded and signed.
Eligibility for the list will be determined by the compound annual reduction rate (CARR) of the emissions intensity. Potential candidates will be contacted by Statista or can put their name forward at the Statista website, which also has more information about the methodology, conditions of participation and useful contacts.
Why should my company participate?
