ELMWOOD PARK, N.J. -- (Business Wire)
Sealed Air Corporation (NYSE:SEE) today announced that its efforts to
reduce greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate the risks of potential
climate change have been recognized by the CDP, the world’s only global
environmental disclosure system. According to this years’ CDP S&P 500
Climate Change Report 2014, which presents new analysis linking S&P 500
industry leaders with financial outperformance, Sealed Air, was one of
63 companies on the S&P 500 to achieve a position in CDP’s S&P 500
Climate Disclosure Leadership Index (CDLI).
“It is an honor to be recognized for not only our efforts to reduce our
own carbon footprint but also for the solutions we bring to market that
help our customers do the same and thrive in a sustainable economy,”
said Jerome A. Peribere, President & CEO, Sealed Air.
An integral part of Sealed Air’s sustainability strategy is focused on
greenhouse gas reduction and reducing operating costs and risk and
generating value through solutions that reduce waste, conserve energy
and water and optimize the use of raw materials for its customers.
Company disclosures to CDP are scored on a scale of 100 for completeness
and data quality. High scores indicate that companies provided robust
climate data and conveyed a strong understanding of corporate
climate-related issues. The companies in the top 10% for disclosure
scores are awarded a position on the CDLI. CDP disclosure scores are
provided to investors and other decision makers through various
channels, including Bloomberg terminals, to help them assess corporate
preparedness for changing market demands and emissions regulation.
In addition to this years’ CDLI, Sealed Air’s Diversey Care division was
recognized this year by the World Wildlife Fund for exceeding its
Climate Savers commitment and lowering greenhouse gas emissions by 49%
between 2003 and 2013. For more information on Sealed Air’s
