HCP (NYSE:HCP), in recognition of its sustainability
achievements, has been named to CDP’s S&P 500 Climate
Disclosure Leadership Index (CDLI), as well as the Dow Jones
Sustainability Index for the North American region.
HCP was recognized by CDP for its environmental performance and
high level of transparency and data quality for climate-related
disclosure. This is the second consecutive year that HCP has
achieved a position of leadership within the CDLI by attaining a
score of 97 out of 100 which ranks in the top 10% of reporting
companies listed.
Paul Simpson, Chief Executive Officer of CDP, said, “Global
greenhouse gas emissions continue to rise, and we face steep
financial risk if we do not mitigate them. The need for disclosure
of corporate climate change impacts and strategies to reduce them
has never been greater. For this reason, we congratulate those
businesses that have achieved a position on CDP’s S&P 500
Climate Disclosure Leadership Index. These companies are responding
to the ever-growing demand for environmental accountability and
helping to inspire others to follow suit.”
Additionally, HCP was named to the Dow Jones Sustainability
Index North America for the second consecutive year. This
achievement is awarded to the top 20% of the 600 largest North
American companies in the S&P Global Broad Market Index and
represents the leaders within their industry that outperform their
peers in sustainability metrics.
“As we continue the momentum provided from our recent
recognition as the Global Healthcare Sector Leader by GRESB, we are
honored to again be included in CDP’s S&P 500 Climate
Disclosure Leadership Index, as well as the Dow Jones
Sustainability Index North America,” said Lauralee Martin, HCP’s
President and Chief Executive Officer. “We recognize the importance
of corporate transparency to our stakeholders, and this achievement
represents our steadfast dedication to our ongoing sustainability
initiatives.”
