4th May 2004 - Trucost Special Report - Climate Change And The S&P500

Many investors recognise climate change as an issue with wide-ranging economic consequences, in particular carbon dioxide which is a major contributor to climate change. In this report Trucost analyses the emissions disclosures by the constituents of the S&P500, in addition to the emissions from companies that have not disclosed - made possible by using Trucost's model to produce emissions estimates, in order to highlight where investors should focus their efforts to promote greater transparency.  This report includes:

·         Analysis of the success of disclosure initiatives to date
·         Actual emissions figures for all companies that disclose
·         Estimates of emissions from the remaining companies
·         Assessment of the materiality of these emissions
·         Sector by sector breakdown of largest emitters
