黑料社

TransCanada黑料社檚 long-term dedication to investing in emission-less and high-efficiency energy sources, research and development (R&D) and environmental initiatives hasn黑料社檛 gone unnoticed.

After the CDP黑料社檚 careful analysis of almost 2000 corporate submissions from around the globe, TransCanada was awarded a position on The A List: The CDP Climate Performance Leadership Index (CPLI) 2014 for its actions to disclose carbon emissions and mitigate the business risks of climate change.

黑料社淩eceiving a score of 99A and being named to The A List: The CDP CPLI 2014 is extremely rewarding for TransCanada,黑料社� says Andrea Jalbert, Vice-President of Community and Sustainability at TransCanada.

The score reflects 99/100 in terms of the extent and quality of TransCanada黑料社檚 response and an 黑料社楢黑料社� rating for the level of action on climate change mitigation, adaptation and transparency.

This positive news comes on the heels of TransCanada黑料社檚 score at the 88th percentile on the Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI) for 2014.

All submissions were independently assessed against CDP黑料社檚 widely-respected scoring methodology and ranked accordingly. TransCanada is one of only 187 organisations to be awarded an A grade for climate performance, earning a position on this global list, ranking corporate efforts to mitigate climate change.

黑料社淭his score is unprecedented for a Canadian company,黑料社� said Cheryl Johnson, TransCanada黑料社檚 climate change and air emissions advisor. 黑料社淭ransCanada is one of only five Canadian companies on The A List: CDP CPLI 2014, and the list黑料社檚 only Canadian energy company.黑料社�

The A List presents those companies identified as demonstrating a superior approach to climate change mitigation. It was produced at the request of 767 investors who represent more than one third of the world黑料社檚 institutional investors with a combined portfolio of US$ 92 trillion in assets.

黑料社淩ecognition at the highest level by the CDP 黑料社� the international NGO that drives sustainable economies 黑料社� is significant because we supply 20% of the natural gas North America consumes each day, export a quarter of Canada黑料社檚 oil supply and are Canada黑料社檚 largest private power provider. Being relied upon to responsibly deliver these products to consumers takes energy,黑料社� says Jalbert. 黑料社淏ut for over 60 years we have been committed to the sustainability of both the land and our business, and we will continue to do so. We don黑料社檛 see those things as being mutually exclusive.黑料社�

The implementation of TransCanada黑料社檚 Environmental Strategy supports company-wide commitment to the environment. That黑料社檚 one reason TransCanada黑料社檚 GHG emissions-management successes can be attributed to different activities across the organization. These include implementing technologies to directly reduce or avoid emissions, installing high-efficiency equipment 黑料社� like the technology to turn waste heat into power 黑料社� and sponsoring R&D to reduce or avoid emissions and improve measurement.

Many long-term R&D investments over the past 60 years have been geared toward encouraging increased efficiency and implementing environmentally beneficial technologies and techniques. In 2013 alone, TransCanada invested over US$ 22 million in R&D projects with benefits that included ensuring safety, improving efficiency, reducing emissions and environmental stewardship, not just for TransCanada, but to improve industry performance as a whole.
